Default Carpet issues

I have a 2017 and my carpet has come apart. Has anyone had this issue? It goes straight across almost like is was cut with a razor blade.

The way that floor mat tear looks it makes it seem like something was dragged across it. Strange.

How many miles on it?

Something has caused the cut. I have not had that issue and hopefully never do, but not sure anything short of replacing the carpet will fix it for you.

Both your carpet and floor mat have been damaged, something has obviously caused it as it's not normal wear.

It looks as if it may have been a thread pull. Looks awful. Thanks for the heads up to check our C7 carpets.

That is not damage from wear or a wound. As you say: "it's coming apart"

That is a seam in the carpet that has failed. Or it's a pulled thread. Given the type of carpet it is, it would not surprise me. Kind of like pulling a thread on a seam which looks intact, but which the bobbin thread never really connected. Or pulling on a chain-stitch. Given the excess in one of your pics, I would say this.

If you still have a BTB warranty, use it now. if not then buy Lloyds mats to cover it up.
