A protective foot pad increases the life of the mats. After a year, sagging in the heel is possible, as hard-soled shoes affect the increased wear of the mat. The footpad protects the driver's mat from being crushed and damaged by the heel of shoes or the hairpin of women's shoes.
To properly install a protective foot pad, you need:
- sit in the driver's seat
- depress the gas pedal, your heel - this will be the middle of the protective foot pad - put the protective foot pad there, mark the correct location with chalk or a marker
- take the EVA mat out, make holes with an awl in the place of fastenings
- fasten the footpad with screws
