Default All-Weather Mats

Has anyone been able to locate all-weather car mats including a 1pc for the 2nd row and 1pc for the third row? Carpeted mats are not a problem, but rubber mats specifically made for the Rondo are. A Canadian winter is fast approaching and would love to get my hands on these.

Hi Kech,

KIA does not supply rubber mats for the Carens in the UK and there are insufficient of them on the road for anyone here to have manufactured tailored mats. However, KIA Netherlands lists a 4 piece rubber mat set (not exactly what you are looking for I know) on their site (KIA Nederland :: The Power to Surprise) for 52 euros part number KME1D81300.

Cool

The part Number for the Rondo All Weather mats is 99996261D03
They are a two piece front, 1 piece Rear, though there is nothing available yet for the rear seats on the 7 seater model as far as I am aware.

The are a solid black, pant saver design. They actually look fairly nice in the vehicle and I did notice that they have the hole for the dowel that sticks out to keep the mats in their proper location which I think is a definate bonus over the universal aftermarket Mats

Teri, is that the part number provided by the dealer? In otherwords, is it an official Kia part? Thanks!

Teri, it's great having you here to answer our questions. I know appreciate it. BTW, what would be the price for the mats? On the Kia Canada website it shows it as being a set of 4, but no other details available. Thanks!

The retail price for the mat package is $112.08, and while some of you may think this is expensive, these mats are exclusive to the rondo and are designed to work with the dowel that is on the floor to keep the mats in their proper location.

I think they look great as i have stated before.

Kech,

I found a four piece set of rubber floor mats (all weather in my opinion). The color of these mats were beige (matched the interior of our Rondo). The front mats have good trim lines and can be cut appropriately to fit the front floor space in the Rondo.

The rear mats (not a full door to door mat) are a bit small, but for the moment was better than nothing when we got our Rondo (wanted to keep the carpet floor mats as clean as possible). I may get another set of the front mats for the two primary seating areas for the rear seats.

These mats are under the Michelin brand and can be purchased at Auto Zone or Advance Auto Parts. I paid $40 for my set. Model number is HD900.

Bill C.

Teri (Partsgal),

Thanks for posting here in the forum!

I would of consider buying the Kia mats for my Rondo, if there was a picture of them. My local Kia dealer's parts department is not open on Saturday's and getting to the parts department during the week to see the quality of the mats is tough.

Would you have a digital picture of these rubber mats that you can post out here?

Thanks, Bill C.
