D4 Carpet Mat Clips

Was transferring over my rubber mats today only to find that my D4 has a number of black forward-facing hooks on rectangular plastic mounts sticking out of the carpet.

Not seen this type of hook before so are they removable (didn't really budge when pulled and twisted a bit) or does this mean my rubber mats will not fit?

Had a look at an older D4 and its carpet was flat with the little screw-in toggles to secure that mats, just like I had on my D3.

No, I'm wrong, which is not unusual.

They are indeed rear facing.

So need to cut them off or buy the worlds most expensive rubber mats for the D4.

Well I got a set of carpet mats, a three row set of rubber mats and mudflaps that I negotiated in along with my discounts of the D4 and all my accessories (with free fitting), oh and a cracking trade-in on my old D3.
Must be my persuasive manner Wink

The new D4 OEM rubbers mats come with a central hole for the said clip ...but I had the same clip in my old 09MY and all I did with the older OEM rubber mats was lay them over the clip and fastened the screw in toggles ...didn't cause any problems.

Given the hefty discount I think he would have killed me if I had insisted on mats!!

Tried that but it didn't seem to work. Perhaps I am not trying hard enough but they seem quite solid.
