Anyone notice that the foot rest in the Rav is partly carpet? On our Camry it is all hard material. It seems like that carpet will get pretty nasty looking and dirty after awhile. Any solutions for it?

I thought it was a slab o rubber down there?? no??

That's what it is on mine.

On our limited there is a small piece of rubber, a couple of inches wide and a few inches long, but surrounded by fabric. At least half of the area my foot touches is fabric. On our Camry the entire foot rest is rubber.

The last good foot rest in the RAV was in the 4.1....was the Camry type. My 4.2 has that rubber over carpet type......ugh!!!

Yea I see what you mean now. Its basically a rubber patch on the carpet. I have an actual black platform in the suzuki..

Ugh says it all. What a boneheaded design error. What was Toyota thinking?

Well... If it's carpet, it's not really cloth, now, is it? :lol:

I get what you mean though... Carpet always gets worn down where the heel rests below the accelerator pedal, floor mats or no floor mats...

for that I use a cheap $2 back floormat from walmart and leave it where my heel is to stop wear..
