I need some floor mats for my BRG 05 VDP ...bought some "cheapie cut to fit" ones at local O'Reilly but they keep moving around and rolling up at the top. Just in front of the driver/passenger seats there are two little hooks I guess to keep the original mats in place. So now I'm trying to find mats that will fit without trimming and will have corresponding holes for the hooks...anyone know which brand of mats will work and where I can find them.....cheap?

Still lovin this car!!!!

 

Ebay is your best bet.. I bought a set of custom cut mats that have the grommets in them to hook on the hooks that are on the floor for the factory mats and they fit perfect.. Just email the seller and make sure they are specific for your car, so you don't get generic junk. Also make sure you order ones that are over 22oz nylon.. anything thinner than that and they feel cheap. Good Luck, Eric

 

On the way home from buying our 2005 S-Type last December 19th, we stopped at a local Pep Boys to find a cheap set of black mats to lay on top of the grey Jaguar factory mats to protect them. I prefer rubber mats (easier and quicker to clean just with a damp rag or a tire brush) but my wife prefers carpeted mats and since she drives this car a lot more than I do, she won this battle. I found a set of Kraco black carpet mats that fit perfectly and they have stayed down with no moving around or curling edges, no problems at all. I take them out every two weeks or so, shake them out and vacuum them with my shop vac, and they are good to go.

My Pep Boys receipt lists these mats as "Kraco 4-piece Eco Mat Set, Model 350 Black". They were $20 plus tax. I don't think you'll find any decent mats cheaper than these!

 

Thanks to both of you. Will ck out Ebay as well as Pep Boys/ Kraco.

 

My two cents, cocomats.com a bit pricey, but what the hay we're talking Jaguar. I have a set in all my cars & love them.

 

Got mine at another on-line shop. It is of weathertech. Kindda a bit pricey than those being sold in E-bay but it's worth it.

Also got weathertech floor liners to couple it.

 

I'm using some rubber mats made by Lloyd Mats. They come cut for exact fit specific to your car (even by year) including the holes for the retainer hooks. And in assorted colors to match any interior color. Price for 4 pc front and rear set was less than the black-only 2 pc front set from Jaguar. I found them at a website called autoanything.com. Which also carries many other brands of mats.

Like most rubber mats, they have a bit of an odd smell when new right out of the box. It goes away fairly quickly though and they fit, look and work great.
