I know it's not recommended to do this, but it just placed my all weather mats on top of carpeted mats (yes I know I am gonna end up with dents in my carpet mats). So therefore, my all weather mats are in the clips far enough to stay in place, but not far enough to be a pain to pull out.
I have a neighbor who did this and it caught her accelerator pedal in her IS250 and she hit 100 mph in no time on the highway panicking she had her foot on the brakes the whole time and then through it in park at 20mph because she had not choice. Luckily, there was a cop behind her and helped her out. Lexus strongly advises against this for safety issues. It states this on top of the mats Erin (LOL). Play it safe!! Remember, it is all fun and games until someone looses an eye.

Yikes! Oh wait...I think I do recall seeing that warning on top of the mats. LOL. Not to worry...I removed my carpet mat from my driver's side before putting in the all weather, but I left the others carpets mats in (passenger and back seat). My carpet mat for the driver's side had a piece of gum to stuck/smushed to it, so I got rid of it before the all weathers came.

That is good to hear, the driver side mat is the one to worry about as the other mats have not vehicle controls directly in proximity. A little peanut butter may remove the gum. Then have it shampooed or steam cleaned.

But if it wasn't for the gum (and my lack of time to clean it off), my driver's side carpet mat would probably be sitting right under my all weather mat, so I am glad you told me what happened to your neighbor.
Kickin8, I knew you were to respond to the wear issue on the all-season mats. One member was able to get a new set before the 1 year warrenty on parts ran out from Lexus. I plan on doing this. I forogt if you were able to get a new set?
I am usually the only one that rides in my car, so the only mat that is gonna get worn out is one my driver's side. Any possibility that can buy the mats individually, or are they just sold by set?
they sell it by the set....
the other 3 mats are technically "brand new" when they replaced mine....
Unfortunately just a set, but keep your receipt and if you notice the wear issue, bring it to the parts manager of your dealer. Lexus is aware of this issue and has repleaced all 4 mats for other members for free under the year parts warrenty.
I am planning to get a set from canda if the replacement set is worn in 9 months.......
Simple fix--it turns out to be nothing with the door, just sounds like it. The noise is caused by the floor mat retaining hook rattling against the plastic grommet in the floor mat where the hook connects. I just moved the mat a bit and the noise went away.
Whew! No open surgery on my door.
Really? I think I have a rattle that sounds near my driver side door but I only hear it when I go faster than 40mph. It sounds like a plastic bag in the wind.... is that what you heard before you fixed it?
