Tiguan Boot mats

[donweather]

Picked up the rubber mats from the dealer today. Fit like a glove and are way cheaper than the car mats. Also a hell of lot easier to clean. Even the rear ones fit perfectly and so wont slide around (which i was worried about with no lug attachments).

Just got to get me one of those rubber boot liners for $115 (non-dealer) and I'll be set.

How much were the rubber mats?

[donweather]

$133 for front and rear set.

Thanks Thats a lot cheaper than carpet mats. Did you get a special price or was that the RRP? We are getting our Tig in December I was going to get after market mats but maybe genuine rubber mats would be better.

RRP. The carpet mats were around $350 I think....couldn't justify this cost.

I reckon you could easily do some dealing with the dealer when purchasing the car to get the rubber mats thrown in for free for sure. We didn't think about it at the time unfortunately.

I also enquired about mud flaps....bugger me, not cheap.....over $400 fitted.

I reckon you could get them cheaper when getting the car serviced as they have to take the wheels off then so would be cheaper to fit at that stage.

Seems as if all the options are twice as expensive as what one would think they might be. I enquired about rear parking sensors and was quoted $800.

I bought the Reversible Boot Mat from a dealer. What I didn't realise before I bought it is that it folds out to cover the whole boot when the back seats are down. This is handy and also accounts somewhat for why it is so expensive.
