The rubber mats we had one day aired (normal smell) and then put them instead of the original carpet mats from Audi into the car. They fit perfectly on all seats and fulfill their function safely. Although the design looks a little getting used to from (a vinous to "Tuning"), but still better than the traditional honeycomb structure. Priced they are a good alternative compared to the original Audi rubber mats. About the durability can not say at present.
