so we bought our fit sport used, and wasn't aware of the floor mat anchor thing. anyway, the person had the floor mats in the car, but the anchors were no where to be found. honda wants $16.50 PER ANCHOR!!! wtf!

 

lols I need one too. Actually, just the white insert that my other half dropped under the carpet. I never bothered to replace it.

 

My new 2010 Fit didn't even come with floor mats. I ordered the mats and have tried to install the anchors per instructions. No dice. Ridiculous. I suspect the earlier post's car didn't come with anchors cause the owner lost them. Probably couldn't fit them in either. They are a pain and cheap plastic things...arrgh.

 

Maybe if you remind honda about Toyota's stuck gas pedal issue, and how it may be caused by the floor mat slipping... they might lower the price... also try college hills honda... they have parts for way less than your local dealer...

 

Are they the anchors listed here for $2.32?
Honda Automotive Parts

 

That would be them. Maybe $33 installed for two is what he meant.

there's an indentation in the carpet and the vinyl carpet insert where to cut for the anchors. Other than a band-aide I didn't need any special tools or skills to install them.

 

Yeah the anchors were extremely easy to install at least on my GD. I'm not sure about the GE but it can't be that bad.

 

easy install. All weather floor mats FTW.. got them for $130 though , wish it could have been cheaper.

 

thank you for linking that page.

all i know is when i called and asked the guy said $16.50 each. this was the parts counter, so i don't know if that included the installation.

in my 08 it looks like the carpet is already cut...maybe the owner before me did it, but who knows.

 

Other than being scary (cutting into the carpet), it wasnt too bad installing the anchors on my 2010

 

Install is a PITA, but worth saving your carpet!

 

Ok guys, many of you are making me not want to take delivery of the 2010 Fit when it arrives! And I thought GM, Chrysler and other assorted manufacturers were outrageous on parts fees.

Lol... Honda may have them all beat.

 

Honda parts are not that expensive HONESTLY. I figure our prices are average.

 

I'm not too concerned now that I've found them online A LOT cheaper.

 

I had the same problem with the clips so I gave up on them. I picked up some Velcro strips from a craft store. They hold the mats down fine.

 

Thanks for that tip. I'll try that. I wasn't sure if I just didn't cut a big enough slice of carpet or what. Followed instructions to the tee, didn't want to ruin warranty... Been ordering accessories through Honda and Acura Accessories dot com - Genuine Factory Honda and Acura Accessories at discount prices. about 1/2 the price of Honda's website.

 

^^^ their website is so crazy cheap. Like seriosuly they make little money on the parts they sell.

 

Odd. My GD3 Base came with anchors installed (but no mats).

 

At least you purchased your Fit used from an uninformed owner.
We just bought a Fit for our daughter. The salesrep talked us into getting the All Weather Floor mats which they installed (if you call opening the bag and tossing them onto the floor "installing").

When we got home, we noticed the floor mats in back didn't seem to fit right. We swapped them and they were fine.

A couple weeks later, my wife was looking through the owner's manual and saw a warning about making sure any optional floor mats on the driver's side are properly anchored so they don't interfere with the pedals. We went an looked at the car. No anchors. And the mat was slide up to where it could get snagged on the accelerator pedal.

Ours is an egregious case of incompetence, but this is a safety issue so Honda should make the Fit driver's side floor mat with anchors a standard feature of the car so there's no danger of someone putting aftermarket mats in that slip forward. Sure, they may not be legally liable, but they should be doing everything possible to keep their customers safe.

 

I guess I'm lucky I had the dealer "throw them in" as part of the deal. They did the install on the floor mats and also the side moldings.
