Driver Side Floorboard??

titanized · 03-02-2004, 01:09 PM

Has anybody experienced a popping noise when they push down on the floorboard right in front of the drivers seat. It feels/sounds like there is a plastic plate that was not fastened to the floor. When you push down and then let up, it pops. It is going to the dealer this weekend to get checked out.

Yup, same here. I forgot to mention it to the dealer when I brought the car is for service yesterday. Please keep us posted. I had this noise from my Lexus sc400 too so I didn't think much of it.

If you guys look under the carpet under the seat you will see a heat/AC vent for the rear passengers. You are actually crushing the plastic vent.

With the Capt Chairs the rear vents are in the center console. Is it the air ducts that feed the rear air vents in the center console??

Yes you are correct..there are rear air vents in the center console but, there is also on under each seat.

Thanks for the info.

I'll check it out when I get her home. You'd think they would put some type of protective covering over the vent or ducts.

You must be right because i see the actual vents under the seats. Hmm...that can't be a good place to locate the vents' tubings, right at the the feet (if you sit with your seat all the way back). Thx
