Went to Pull-a-Part again today, brother-in-law went with me. I was just getting a few little items from a 1999 RX300 and noticed that the rear floor mat was still in the car. Being that the vehicle had the same color interior as mine I decided to get the mat. I looked up front and both front mats were missing but I found them a few minutes later. At Pull-a-Part, the vehicles sit atop some stands made from two wheels welded together, one laying down with the other upright to get the vehicles up off the ground. Well, I found both front mats folded up and put in between the body of the car and the stand on the driver's side at the rocker panel just behind the front wheel well. Sometimes you will see mats and even headrests being used like that, don't know why other than maybe to keep the car more stable? Well, I wanted those mats and so I flagged down a guy on a forklift and told him of the situation and asked if he could lift the car up just a little so I could get the mats and he said "no, because that was what was holding the car up". Oooookay, so my brother-in-law and I went in search of a jack and low and behold we found one. We put a wheel under the front of the vehicle, placed the jack in the center of the wheel and slowly jacked the vehicle up just enough to pull the mats out, then lowered the vehicle back down onto the stand, tossed the jack over in the vehicle like nothing ever happened and off we went with my set of Lexus RX300 floor mats. I know they remove jacks from vehicles to keep people from doing what we did but dang, I wanted those mats. I have cleaned them with a shampooer and will pressure wash them tomorrow.
I paid just over 7 bucks for the set of mats, by comparison there is a new set of the same mats on Ebay. Ah the adventures I have at Pull-a-Part!!!
