4. Setup and Installation

- Position Mats: Carefully place the WeatherTech mats into the corresponding footwells (driver's side, passenger's side, and rear row).
- Secure Mats: Press down firmly on the mats, especially around any factory retention hooks or posts, to engage the anti-skid nibs and secure them in place. Ensure the mats lie flat and do not interfere with pedal operation.
