    2014 PPV gas pedal stuck down

    Well the mat is removed but not tossed out so I definitely can try that. That's a good idea to trim it back and see if it's enough to prevent a reoccurrence. Neither the floor nor the mat have any positive retention features that I can see.

    How cold is it where you are today?

    It's warmed up to minus 5°F here in Winnipeg, which is pretty nice for north of the 49th parallel. Brilliant blue skies the colder it gets!
