VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND EARLIER 1929-1932 1929 Floor Mat

On a new floor mat I have a hole in the Lt & Rt corners what are they used for ?

how big are the holes ?? Are you talking about the little holes top left and top right approx 1/8 dia or so??
here is mine out of the package, i figured they were for tacking it in place or from the molding/curing process. did not use them for anything since they did not line up with anything.

I was think about it might be used for tacking them down but it would make it harder the get to the top of the battery for servicing. I like the idea of the molding/curing process. Thank you.

The 31’s have two headed pins in the toe boards that those holes go over. The mats are universal to 29-31’ I believe.

Thinks for the information. I" do not have holes in toe boards but they may not be original.

How is the quality of your mat ? I had to return the one I ordered from the FS a few years ago since the quality of the mat's pattern was rough and very odd looking. I was told the mold the supplier used was basically worn out.

Maybe things have improved. I see the FS item, #M-7, covers from '29 to '32. Thank you...

It was a little rough but I needed a replacement. My old one had a lot of tears on it.

same as yours, but still using it. had a lot of the lines in it

These days, we have to be content with just being able to get a floor mat. No one is basically making them outside of a few hobbyists and even their supply is getting low. For my generic rumble seat area mat, it has a fisher logo, I went to .Mac blair who had them made up on his own molds for Buick’s. I also bought one for my front but had a aftermarket one come with the car that fit the front with just a little trimming and hole punching. While it doesn’t have the Fisher logo, it just looks too good not to use. The problem is it’s become fragile and wants to crack easily around the holes. I am looking for a way to glue up some support material to the bottom when the day comes I pull it out of the car. For now it’s staying in there for a few big shows whenever they happen!

My floor mat looks just like BearsFan31 above post.

I think that's the one I returned !

But I agree, any port in the storm. Much better than a torn, ripped up original mat.

I do not think mine was an original mat. But I kept it just in case I needed it again

i bought mine a few years ago, finally installed it last year when my car was completed, or so i thought....
