Default Floor mat clips - no holes?

Hey all,

I finally got some genuine XR mats for my AU, but now I have an issue I didn't expect.

I can clip the mats on the driver side in fine - but when it comes to putting on the passenger one there's no hole for the screw clips! Are there meant to be holes already, or am I supposed to punch some through?

I looked but I can't feel any obvious holes and I don't want to rip holes in my floor unless it what I'm supposed to be doing....

Anyone know the answer? :

I think the screws go into insulaton under the carpet (accessed by removing the scuff plates, kicker panels and lifting the carpet). I need to see about fixing mine this way, unless anyone has any better ideas?

Axle-F we don't have holes or clips for the pax side carpet mat. Just another cost cutting measure post EL. *mongrels*

You don't need to clip down the passenger one at all so just remove the clips and leave it at that.

The drivers one has clips to stop the mat sliding forward into the pedals.

Aii thanks for the answers.

I don't like the mat moving about as it's pretty slippery but also dirt just goes straight under it and gets more rubbed in!

I think I'll just punch a small set of holes and clip them in myself
