Coco Mat Comments
« on: September 01, 2008, 13:53:51 »
Coco mats are now in the Beige Beauty. The mats seem well made with a substantial back, sewn binder all around, and foot pad on driver’s side.

The Left (driver side) mat ends below the light dimming switch. It has no extension or circle around the dimming switch.

The Right (passenger) mat is several inches shorter than the original carpet.

The supplier/manufacturer (Natural Auto Products at www.cocomats.com) suggested using the mats directly on the floor without the original carpeting to reduce the height. Without the carpets, the Left driver mat does not cover the area behind and above the gas pedal, and the  passenger (right) mat does not cover all of the front part of the footwell area.

I use the mats on top of the carpets. The height is not a problem and nothing is exposed.

The Natural and White Dot #31 pattern is a nice contrast to the Dark Brown interior.

Took about 5 weeks from order to delivery.

Only time will tell how the mats stand up to use and abuse.

Richard, I also have a set of these mats which have been in the car for five years now.  They still look like new.

When I ordered my black/taupe mats I told them I had A/C in the car so the left needed to be shorter but they informed me that they only have the one size.

I have a set of these in my 250SL and a set for my E wagon, I even had them make to fit a mat for the rear compartment of the wagon. Excellent quality, and great people to deal with.

I have three sets of Jeff's mats as well, one in multi beige/brown for the Pagoda, and black with red for my 300D and 1966 MGB-GT.  Amazingly, he even had the correct pattern for the early MGB floor (different shape up to 1967) and a pattern for the GT luggage area!
