Toyota has told its North American dealerships to attach driver’s side floor mats to metal seat rails with self-locking wire ties, better known as zip ties, as what the automaker calls a “semi-permanent” fix.


Jimmy-rigging, baby! But hey, if it works, it's a lot better than crashing. You may even be tempted to zip-tie it yourself at home. The dealer will do it for free though; might as well have them take care of it, that way if something happens they can't pin anything on you.
