Hi has anyone suffered worn carpet just the left of the clutch pedal by the rest plate ? Mine is 1 year old and has a hole 2" . A lot of my colleagues ( I'm a driving instructor) have similar issues. Apparently Citroen deny it's a design fault !!!

The only way the hole can appear is if something is rubbing against it...
I have size twelve feet and never suffered with any rubbing on the carpet, I suggest what is going on is people putting their foot between the clutch rest and the peddle rather then using the rest itself. In that respect it is not a design fault rather a people fault.
Granted the carpet is a very thin lighten material to help with weight saving but before complaining to Citroen check to see what your feet are doing first....I should never have doubted the Lord of Bacon!!

Maybe adding a piece of 'strengthening' carpet like an elbow patch might help then?
At least that way it would take that takes the rubbing rather then the main carpet itself....I should never have doubted the Lord of Bacon!!

Looks like this is affecting a lot of people, as there is a Facebook Group set up for this very issue.

Same here just returned one to leasing company with hole in same place and again I’m a driving instructor, bought a metal foot rest plate for new car and placed some heavy duty plastic under it and then down under carpet to take the rubbing, hope it works on this one.Last edited by Andy ADI; 13-06-2014, 19:32.

Worn carpet
90% of other manufactures when they put foot rests in cover them in a plastic trim . went to dealers yestetday the service manager even said it's due to poor quality carpet and they had all ready replaced 3 others . Today had phone call saying citroen uk had refused to replace under warranty . I phoned citroen uk and quoted I will seek leagal advise has its not fit for purpose and if it was like this after 21000 miles / 3 years it would only get worse . next thing the man said is ok has a good will jester I will get it replaced for you and you should hear from us in next 7 days when it will be replaced 😆Last edited by MARK.A; 19-06-2014, 17:56.http://i971.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps710a29cb.jpg
