A vehicle floor carpet securing system includes a trim piece that includes a lateral portion connected to a vertical portion at a corner. A standoff rib anchors to a silencer layer of a vehicle carpet at an end. The standoff rib has an opposite end that engages the trim piece at the lateral portion, vertical portion and/or the corner to inhibit movement of the carpet relative to the trim piece.

A removable protective floor liner for a rearward seating area of a passenger compartment of a vehicle includes a first floor mat section including a first flap section that is configured for installation in a first foot well of the passenger compartment and a second floor mat section including a second flap section that is configured for installation in a second foot well of the passenger compartment. The first flap includes an overlapping portion and a plurality of female interlocking fasteners and the second flap includes an underlapping portion and a plurality of male interlocking fasteners, including the underlapping portion extending a predetermined distance beyond the male interlocking fasteners. The first and second flaps cover a tunnel area intervening between the first and second floor mat sections. The male interlocking fasteners are joined with corresponding ones of the female interlocking fasteners when the first and second flaps are aligned.

A securing arrangement for fitting a foot mat to the floor of the foot space of a motor vehicle may have at least one securing element, wherein the securing element has an upper portion which is constructed for releasable fitting of the foot mat, and a pin which is connected to the upper portion and which is guided through an opening in the floor. There is further provided a clamping element which is locked to the pin at the side of the floor facing away from the upper portion in order to thus clamp the floor between the upper portion and the clamping element. At least one reinforcement plate is arranged between the clamping element and the floor.

A work vehicle includes a transmission case including an injection port to allow injection of transmission oil, a floor mat above the transmission case and near a driver's seat, the floor mat including an opening/closing portion to be opened in an open state in which the injection port is exposed and to be closed in a closed state in which the injection port is covered, and a fixing portion to fix the opening/closing portion in the closed state, in which the opening/closing portion includes a protrusion protruding in a predetermined direction, and the fixing portion includes a hole configured to fix the opening/closing portion when the protrusion is inserted into the hole.

A retainer removal tool for a carpet retainer of a vehicle includes a shaft portion and a handle portion. The shaft portion has a cylindrical shape and includes an engagement tip has a hollow cylindrical shape and is configured to depress a tab of the retainer in a radially inward direction to decouple an upper retainer from a lower retainer. Further, a method for removing a carpet retainer of a vehicle includes centering a retainer removal tool over the retainer, depressing the retainer removal tool onto the retainer, disengaging a tab of the retainer with the retainer removal tool, and removing the retainer from the carpet.

A standoff rib anchors to a silencer layer of a vehicle carpet at an end. The standoff rib has an opposite end that engages the trim piece at the lateral portion, vertical portion and/or the corner to inhibit movement of the carpet relative to the trim piece.

The invention is an apparatus for preventing automotive hail damage by the use of magnetic floor mats. These mats may be placed in specific areas and are held in place by a magnetic layer.

A vehicle carpet and mat fixing device may include an upper mat fastener part; a lower mat fastener part coupled to the upper mat fastener part; an upper carpet fastener part coupled to the lower mat fastener part by an upper carpet fastener protrusion protruding toward the lower mat fastener part; and a lower carpet fastener part coupled to the upper carpet fastener part, wherein the upper mat fastener part is hooked to the lower mat fastener part by an upper mat fastener hook circumferentially formed in the upper mat fastener part to fix a mat, and the lower carpet fastener part is coupled to the upper carpet fastener part by a male hook of the lower carpet fastener part to fix a carpet.

A clip for attachment of a floor carpet includes a male member having a lower flange portion, and a shaft portion projecting from the lower flange portion; and a female member having a cylindrical portion to which the shaft portion is inserted, an upper flange portion projecting around an outer periphery of the cylindrical portion, and an engaging portion at an inner periphery of the cylindrical portion. The male member also includes a hole portion penetrating through the lower flange portion and the cylindrical portion, engaging projections formed around an outer periphery of the shaft portion, and a regulation member inserted into the hole portion. In case the male member is inserted into the female member to engage the engaging projections with the engaging portion and the regulation member is inserted into the hole portion, the regulation member prevents the engaging projections from being disengaged from the engaging portion.

A method and a vehicle carpeting system includes a floor pan that includes a forward end, an opposing aft end, a first lateral side, a second lateral side, and a floor pan body extending therebetween. An A-pillar is formed along the first lateral side and the second lateral side of the floor pan, a B-pillar is formed along the first lateral side and the second lateral side of the floor pan aft of the A-pillar. A ductway extends along the first lateral side from the A-pillar past the B-pillar. The vehicle carpeting system also includes a carpet structure at least partially covering the floor pan and extending from the first lateral side to the second lateral side. The vehicle carpeting system further includes a door seal that includes a lip that extends over a lateral side of the carpet structure.
