Need Help, Damaged boot Floor Pad
Hello Everyone
I took the car to carwash and the guy took off the floor pad which was attached to boot floor pad beneath spare wheel.
I would like to know if i have to change the whole floor pad or i can just buy the pin.
I have attached some photos which show the exact part.
Both pin has broken and now when i want to lift the floor pad up, the whole things move up with it.
Thank you everyone

Why not try buying some new pins. That should attach the carpet to the solid backing again.
You should be able to buy these pins from a large well stocked auto spares shop or a veteran car spares shop. Good luck.

Like Carsy said, it should be pretty easy to find replacement pins but my first step would be to go back to the car wash and ask them to cover the repairs. If they are a reputable business, they should take care of any damage they caused while cleaning your car.

Thanks for your replies
There should be a part number for the pin, i checked few shops but they couldnt help me, well here is UK and you cant find exact spare parts tiny as this easily like in US and if i take this to MB dealer ship they will charge me something like 20 quid for couple of pins.
It should be something like this i beleive:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Plastic-Bumper...07555090638824
but i'm not sure if this is a right pin
