How to Spot if your Car Mats Need Replacing
Depending on the quality of your car mats you may find that they need replacing sooner than you might think. If you have bought cheap universal mats in preference of slightly more expensive tailored car mats you may have to pay the price of replacing them more regularly. Buying cheap car mats is something of a false economy.
Your car mats will need replacing if they have bent out of shape, if they begin to smell musty, if the carpet is threadbare or if there are holes. As the driver's mat is most used it is a good indication to check this one first.
Good quality car mats sometimes have a double thickness heel pad on the driver's side to improve the durability of the set, but if not then the area where your heels rest against the car mat are usually the first to go.
Car mats that aren't tailored to fit are prone to bending and buckling out of shape. When this happens your car mats are no longer protecting the floor of your car and the deterioration of the floor mats will speed up. Worse still, if your car mats bend underneath your pedals it could impede your control over braking and accelerating. If you notice that your car mats regularly fold, don't take the risk, replace them with good quality tailored car mats from a reputable manufacturer.
Old carpet mats can sometimes give off a musty odour. This is a result of years of becoming damp and never being able to dry out properly. This is difficult to prevent. You can take them out to air if they become wet, but this is highly impractical. The musty odour is often a sign that the car mats are breeding mould. The good thing is that car mats are easy to replace. If you allow the moisture to seep to the carpet of the subfloor then that musty odour is much harder to get rid of. This is another reason why tailored car mats are better; they thoroughly protect the carpet underneath from moisture and dirt.
Whatever the reason for replacing your mats it is false economy to buy cheap. Quality tailored car mats are more durable and here's an extra tip: if you buy straight from a car mat manufacturer you can get them at a reduced, wholesale price.

Visual Sound Visual Volume Pedal $139.95 With the die-cast aluminum Visual Volume, the rocker position is indicated by a column of ten LEDs. With the rocker fully back (toe up, heel down) all of the lights are off and so is the volume. As you rock your foot forward, the indicators light up one by one until all 10 are lit. When all lights are on, you're at maximum volume. To find your level at a glance, LEDs 1-4 are blue, 5 is red, 6-9 are blue again, and 10 is red.The Visual Volume Pedal operates on 9V battery or an optional power supply. It will function passively without power though the LEDs will be inoperative. Visual Volume recommends using a high-quality regulated 9VDC adapter like the 1 Spot. Boss PSA, Dunlop ECB-03, Ibanez AC-109, and Morley 9V also acceptable. The Visual Volume pedal is easy to service. If you ever wear out the control pot, Visual Volume has a kit to restore your pedal to like new service. Many users are even able to make the switch themselves.Inputs and Outputs Input 1 and Output 1 are all you need for mono volume control. Tuner Out: Even with the volume all the way down, the tuner out still sends volume to your tuner, allowing you to tune silently without switching any cables around. If you don't plug into Input 2, both Outputs send the signal from Input 1, so you can plug into 2 different amps at the same time. Plug into inputs 1 & 2, and the Visual Volume becomes a stereo volume pedal. Great if you put a Stereo Chorus pedal in front of the Visual Volume. Or, plug 2 guitars into the Visual Volume and you can make quick guitar changes without unplugging. Other adjustments With the removal of the bottom plate on your pedal you can set the pedal for active or passive mode, adjust pedal tension, and in active mode, individually set the gain for each input.Die-cast aluminum housingBlue and red LEDsActive and Passive modesClean boost pre-amp in active modeTwo inputs and outputs for mono or stereo useTuner Out jack for silent tuning |
