Rubber footwell things.
Um..okay so this is technically not technical!! But I've just bought a couple of rubber mats for the footwell of my t25..shaped to fit etc.

Re: Rubber footwell things.
Stick them in a bowl of really hot water for 5 mins or so to soften the rubber then try again. The ones I have were really stiff and the previous owner had botched them in with glue. After softening up a bit they fitted the holes.

Re: Rubber footwell things.
I have the same problem with mine. Been like it for years, the r/h one keeps falling out / off. Tried the hot water thing, still not "clipped in right" 
I saw two different types at the Oswestry show, one lot were like a hard(ish) plastic, the other lot were more rubbery. I should have bought a pair of the rubbery ones I guess, but I didn't

Re: Rubber footwell things.
Whole lot better idea anyway. The rot evident in many steps is testament to the barmy idea of clip-in trims. I agree, seal them up.
