My ones are the same spoke to Parts department sent them a picture and told me there is only 1 listed for front RHD so unless you trim the mat better left alone,

Ahh, now I understand.
My standard carpet ones get taken out in the autumn and replaced by the rubber ones. Reverse procedure in the spring so I always use the posts to secure them and they fit fine behind the foot rest.
I’ve seen too many cheap sets of mats slip forward and foul the pedals to try and use both sets (although I’m sure they would be fine in the Macan)

You have to purchase the rubber ones separately if you want them and they have matching holes but I just lie mine on top of the existing ones.
Is that safe? :? Am just thinking that the mats won't be properly/safely secured if they're just lying on top of the 'carpet' mats...?
Thanks for your concerns Wingco but I find they are heavy enough to stay put and not move around... as well as the safety aspect it would drive me mad if they did anyway!
Probably safer than you let loose in a 911T anyway..! :D :D :lol:

Ha ha - you may have a point there, Sid! ;) :lol: :twisted:

Ah, now I understand too! That's the problem. Take the carpet ones out and clip the rubber ones onto the posts provided. You will get a better fit at the front edge then. They will be a lot safer too.

Interesting how it takes a little bit of probing to find out what the root cause is!

Home now and on checking mine are similar; they do run up the first inch or so of the footrest. I’ve never noticed this before so I guess it’s never been an issue for me.

(Apologies for the very very dirty pic!)

Yes, I hadn’t noticed previously on my SD either.
