Question:

In the past I have purchased floor mats that have an odor. Do these?

Expert Reply:

What you have smelled is the rubber, thermoplastic, or PVC material that the floor mats are made of. They smell like that new but it eventually fades away. The Hopkins floor mats # HM79100 will have a lesser scent because they are PVC but you may notice something.

Carpeted mats such as # CC76318947 tend to not smell because any thermoplastic or rubber part is underneath touching the floor of the vehicle.
