The rubber mat was in all 3 of the new E's I looked at before mine came in from the VPC, and the salesman knew what it was for when I asked.

I am surprised that only one has posted not getting the mat. I had thought we heard from a lot more without the mat.

That would be great if it holds up.

Ashtryay Mat

This is really no big deal! The ashtray is removable...by doing so you will create a small storage space. A small "mat" should be provided to place in the small storage space once the ashtray is removed. The mat is approximately 4" X 5" and cut to fit in the ashtray space once it has been removed. The mat looks sort of like a small mousepad. When my car was dleivered the mat was in the glovebox, along with a small rod to use if the sunroof gets stuck in the open position.

Nifty

The ashtray, minus the tray and plus the little rubber mat, makes a really nifty storage area!

This is funny...

I asked for it on my service order when I went to have my chromies put on. Get this, they didn't put in the liner, instead, they took my ashtray out, put it in the glovebox, and then put a new ashtray in. Now I got two ashtrays and no liners, LOL!

I told my service rep about it, and he said they had to order a second one to get the liner. When I told him that I got the second one but no liner, he just shook his head (Frustration at the wrench turner).
