Carpet problem and venting about my Skipper 500

[balunr]

Has anyone else had the little plastic hook in the carpet that holds the floor mat in place on the driver's side come loose? Mine did. Apparently the fix is to replace the entire carpet, which was nice

On to the vent... I'm on my 4th, you read that right, 4th Skipper 500. Every stinking time I have to tell them about re-programming the computer. This last time, they finally did that part right, but they left the vents, etc. unplugged when the swapped the radio This radio is *better* than the others, it's only skipping on *some* home burned CDs. Grrrr.

The dealership said that you should burn CDs with Windows Media Player instead of iTunes - has anyone else heard this? It seems fishy, but I'm going to try it - less time wasted doing that than taking it back to the dealer again.

I'm on my second Shaker 500. I use iTunes with no problem. I converted my files to MP3s with no problem whatsoever and they play great.
I've also wondered about the carpet hook. It doesn't seem too strong.
I had a 2001 Mustang and had to have the carpet replaced, under warranty, for the same problem. Should be an easier and less expensive way to fix it.
