Genuine Nissan Floor Mats

Genuine Nissan Floor Mats

Mats are the cheapest insurance on a vehicle interior. Carpet takes salt, mud and spilled coffee once and it never fully recovers, while a mat comes out and gets hosed off. The reason to buy the genuine Nissan mat rather than a universal one is the shape: it follows your floor pan, covers the areas that actually get dirty, and sits flat instead of bunching under the pedals.

Individual Mats and Full Sets

The catalog carries both. A set covers all four positions and is the normal choice when the originals are worn out together. A single mat is the one you want when the driver mat has gone through at the heel and the other three are fine, which is how mats usually wear. There are also trunk mats for the cargo area, where groceries and tools do the damage instead of boots.

The Anchor System Matters

Nissan front mats secure with a grommet hole and positioning hook so the mat cannot slide forward. This is not a convenience feature. A mat that creeps toward the pedals is a real hazard, and it is the specific failure mode of mats that were not made for the vehicle. If your hooks are missing or the grommets in the mat have torn out, this page carries the floor mat grommets and floor carpet clips separately, so the anchor gets repaired instead of ignored.

Floor Pans and Carpet

The page also reaches the layers under the mat. Floor pans and floor carpet come up when water got in and stayed, from a leaking cowl, a bad door seal or a windshield. If the carpet under the mat is damp or smells, a new mat covers the symptom and leaves the corrosion working underneath. Fix the leak, dry or replace the carpet, then put the new mats in.

Confirming Fit

Mats are model and configuration specific and some are more specific than people expect. Part 74901-1PA0A, for instance, is for a cargo van without a center console, which means the version with a console is a different part. Add your vehicle or enter your VIN and the catalog narrows to the mats cut for your floor.

All-Season Versus Carpeted

The choice comes down to what the vehicle does. All-season rubber mats have raised edges that hold water, salt and slush, which is what you want from November to March in North Carolina or anywhere the roads get treated. Carpeted mats match the interior and are the right call for a vehicle that stays clean and gets sold in a few years. Plenty of owners keep both sets and swap them twice a year, which costs one set of mats and keeps the carpeted pair looking new. One more thing worth checking while the mats are out: look at the carpet under the driver heel pad and along the door sills for damp spots or discoloration. That is where a leak shows first, and mats hide it well. Catching it when the carpet is only damp is a very different repair from catching it when the floor pan has started to go.
