Default Cargo mat with exposed hooks?

Anyone know where I can get a mat for the cargo area that does not cover up the hooks? I am okay with rubber or carpet.

I have read about some people cutting the mat to expose the D rings. I believe the Weather Tech version has indentations for the rings.

Search eBay motors using "cargo a7", list in the lowest price + shipping and you'll see plenty of listings (LED's, nets, umbrella clips, mats, liners, etc.).

Yep - the WeatherTech cargo liners have indentations - you can leave them for solid coverage or cut them out to expose the D rings.

The OEM ones also have cut outs for the D rings.

I dont like the idea of having to cut holes in the $140 weathertech mat.

I guess my car didnt come with an OEM mat? I cant even find where to get one.

I am considering buying this

Stick on a layer of masking tape to draw lines on. Drill holes into the corners and cut along the outer edges using a razor knife and metal straight edge. Gives you a nice clean opening.

A 1/2" hole in the corner makes a nice 1/4" radius. It's a big bit for the home tool box and you can substitute a 1/2" counter sink. Makes a clean hole, doesn't snag on plastics and it might be useful for other projects.

An OEM mat costs extra and you can contact your local dealer for one but the OEM liners are not cut out either - it's a solid mat. There are small indentations indicating where it can be cut if you want to expose the D-rings.

If I were you, I'd spend the money on the WeatherTech cargo liner - it's way nicer than the OEM and like tenspeed mentions, super easy to expose the rings.

Additionally the Weather Techs have the area around the cutouts raised to keep spills from getting into the cut out area.
