I bought mine from Impex for $350 (1997 A4 2.8) but I haven't been able to install it yet. The bracket that came with it is the one for mounting vertically on the left side however the FAQ on this site only tells you about the trunk roof install. I'm not sure what to do at this point since I don't have the "bucket" that's needed for the side floor install. I also wasn't able to find any reasonable place that it would go on the trunk roof.
Any ideas anyone?

Where did you get them, were they ordered or store-bought?? How much??
Thanks in advance, and anyone else that knows where I can get these let me know...

MacNeil Automotive has ads in all the car magazines. I've also seen these Cannon Weathertech mats advertised in other cataloges I get in the mail (stuff like Herrington, Sporty's, etc.)
They sell for $44.95 + $8.00 shipping for the front pair (I didn't buy ones for the rear). A front and rear set is listed at $79.95 and includes free shipping. I can't comment on the fit of the rear Weathertech mats since I don't have them.

I purchased both front and REAR Weathertech mats for my '99 A4QMS. The fronts worked fine. Their not an exact match for the floor pattern, but close enough and they are great mats in all other respects.
However, I would strongly recommend against purchasing the rear floor mats. They are apparently a "universal" pattern (1 size fits all) and they DO NOT work in the A4. The mat itself is very tall (thick) and the seat adjustment mechanism is too low to the floor for them to clear when the seat is moved toward the rear. The mat will foul the seat track and cause it to wrinkle and twist the seat pushes it back. The only way that I saw this could be overcome was by cutting away a large section of the edges of each mat, which would leave them looking very second rate.
So, forget the rears, unless you use the rear seat for passengers very often, or look elsewhere for a custom fit set.
