Yeah, I don't really feel it is/was necessary but I went ahead and had it done anyway. It lloks like all they did was remove the pedal & grind off/round off a bit of the bottom of the pedal & reattach. Frankly I find it hard as HE** to even get the clips off to remove the mats to vacuum under neath, i really cant see how they can become lodged under the pedal in the first place if they are properly attached. I even have all weather rubber mats (Costco) that I put on top of my regular carpeted mats and they never shift around.
