Default Formaldehyde

Just picked up my A4 all weather mats yesterday and they are sweet. Down side is my car smells like the time we disected pigs back in high school. The things you sacrafice for looks and function.

Default RE: Formaldehyde

its the smell of the rubber, try taking them out, throwing them in the sink and washing them.. dont think dish soap would hurt them, but might help with the smell

The smell only lasts a week or so.

I can deal with that. Like them so much better the the carpet mats. Plus I tend to tear the crap out of my mats so I am hoping these are a little more durable.

They are VERY durable mats. I had them for two years on my old A4 and they were awesome. My new ones on my B7 are just as quality.
