If you get the logo set, put two coats of Scotch Guard on so it stays looking pristine.

I got these mats. Posted almost the same message lol. The hook swivles in the hole. I think I will scotchguard the mats as you recommend. Nice mats.

I had two of them broken in the first month of ownership...flimsy pieces of sh#$!

My dealer has ordered 2 sets (4) of replacements for me so far, no charge. I only have 2 left, which means in about 2 months I will be asking for another set. My service tech said she will order replacements as they break for as long as the car is under warranty. I have a 5/75 warranty.

Seems like when an adult stands on them getting in and out, in the back, they get crushed and the little feet break off.

Why mess with the crappy and fragile original fasteners when Lowe's has GM Push Fasteners/Variable Depth for a few bucks that work just fine?

If anyone is interested, the package of 2 has the numbers H# 881199 and 138251 on it.

They are easily removed by pulling up under the mat near the fastener.

Another good thing is they are long enough to go thru both the original carpet mat and the clear vinyl mat on top that I have.
