Need Weathertech Anchors

I got some weathertech mats for my 2011 X5D, but they came without the anchors for mounting the front set. By any chance does anyone have any of the screw in anchors that they can part with? The "T" anchors won't work. The ones I need have a screw on one side and a post on the other. Amazingly, Weathertech is giving me problems about replacing them. I am happy to pay.

A picture of either your mats or the type of anchor you're referring to would be worth 1000 words.

If your mats are like the WeatherTechs pictured below...there is a "hook" floor anchor that can be used. The bottom of this type of anchor is like the typical BMW type (has a "T" (bayonet) on one side that gets inserted to a pre-cut slit in the carpet down the floor pan)...then there's a hook on the top side that protrudes up through a hole in the WeatherTech floor mat. This type of floor anchor uses the existing slits cut into the carpet and floor pan:














And I think I found the screw-in type that can create a new securing location in your carpet...only negative I see with these is that it creates another hole in the carpet if you have the existing pre-cut slits:

{this pic shows both types...the screw-in type (lower left) and the bayonet "T" type (upper center)}

Thanks for the reply. They screw into the floor. Weathertech finally came through and is sending them to me -- FOR FREE!
