Should the Original Car Mats Be Retained?
1 Answers
Original factory mats should not be placed underneath additional mats because having two layers can be too thick and affect the safe operation of the vehicle. It is advisable to remove the original mats. Car mats serve as an eco-friendly automotive interior accessory that combines five main functions: water absorption, dust collection, stain removal, noise reduction, and protection of the main carpet. They help maintain cleanliness inside the car while adding aesthetic and comfortable touches. Common reasons for water ingress in rear seat mats include: 1. Aging of the sunroof sealing rubber ring, reducing its sealing performance and causing leaks; 2. Blocked sunroof drainage holes preventing timely rainwater discharge; 3. Driving through deep waterlogged areas allowing water seepage; 4. Reduced sealing performance of the vehicle body.
