Just put your matt in where you want it to sit, and mark the holes on the carpet, pull the matt out and twist the hooks in, replace the matt and your all done..

I had this issue a while ago. The throttle would stick for a bit and spring back. I thought it was a problem with the fly-by-wire stuff but after a bit of fiddling found it was the bottom the of the accelerator paddle catching on the floor mat. I had the clips in but the mat sits a bit further forward that what it should as the hoses were put in about 5mm too far forward by previous owner.

Solution for me was to trim the bottom of the accelerator peddle about 10mm so that it would not catch on the edge of the floor mat. This is only possible for us that do not have the fancy paddles though.

Toyota to pay $10 million to crash family16:39 AEST Fri Dec 24 2010

Dec 24, 2010

Toyota Motor Corp has agreed to pay $US10 million to the family of four people killed in a runaway Lexus crash that led to recalls of millions of vehicles.

John Gomez, a lawyer who represents the victims' family, and Larry N Willis, who represents the dealership that lent the Lexus to the family, confirmed the settlement amount of $US10 million ($A9.98 million) on Thursday.

The August 2009 crash killed off-duty California Highway Patrol Officer Mark Saylor, 45, his wife, their daughter and Saylor's brother-in-law Chris Lastrella.

They were killed on a suburban San Diego freeway when their car reached speeds of more than 190 kilometres per hour, struck a sport utility vehicle, launched off an embankment, rolled several times and burst into flames.

Investigators determined that a wrong-size floor mat trapped the accelerator and caused the crash.

Toyota recalled millions of cars to replace floor mats that it said could cause the accelerator to jam.

The carmaker later recalled millions more vehicles to replace accelerator pedals that it said could stick.

Toyota, which did not admit or deny liability in the settlement, fought to keep the settlement amount confidential, but the Los Angeles Times newspaper and The Associated Press argued that the public's interest in the case outweighed confidentiality concerns.

A Superior Court judge on Monday agreed, but imposed a gag order in case the family wanted to appeal. They did not appeal, allowing lawyers to release the amount.

Toyota said in a statement it was disappointed the amount had been made public.

"As is common in these cases, these parties agreed to keep the amount confidential, in part to protect the families from unwanted solicitations and to allow them to move on from this difficult period," the automaker said.

The case was considered the strongest of hundreds of lawsuits that have since been filed and consolidated before a federal judge in Orange County over claims stemming from sudden acceleration in several Toyota models, and brake glitches with the company's Prius hybrid.

Toyota and the plaintiffs sought to keep the settlement amount in the Lexus case confidential, with the automaker arguing the release of the settlement details could affect pending litigation and hurt its reputation.

Superior Court Judge Anthony Mohr, however, said the public's right to the details outweighed those concerns, and he denied a motion to keep the settlement sealed.

Mohr also extended a gag order until late Wednesday in order to give either side the chance to seek a stay, and up to 10 days to decide whether to pull the settlement altogether.

Tim Pestotnik, a lawyer who represented the Saylor family, said his clients opted not to pursue a stay or appeal the judge's order allowing the release of the settlement amount.

"The families seek only privacy and peace at this time," Pestotnik said
