Yes the service guy also says the teflon coating must be revisited every 6 months.
I was just wondering if the ceramic coating is more permanent ?

Hey had a small accident on my Baleno, somebody in a cycle came and hit me on the front bumper and there are damages sustained to the bumper like a big dent and breakage.
I am very sad, because it is hardly a month old car. Do you think this will be covered in Insurance. Any body have a similiar situation in your car , please let me know if any particular procedure to be followed for insurance and the cost for the front bumper.

yes, all damages can be claimed under insurance. You need to go to the service center, fill up a form and wait for Insurance guys to inspect the damage and approve the same. The bumper has to be ordered if not in stock and needs to be painted in your cars color. Should be around 8k in total If I am not wrong , including bumper+painting. If its a small dent, you can get it repaired from local body shops. They can do at half the cost, or even less.

Did a simple DIY for the moving driver side mat. As I reported earlier, I have bought MGA floor mats and the issue was, it moves slowly and the clutch pedal gets stuck under the mat at times, after about 200 kms of drive.
Bought Velcro from Amazon along with 3M Bonding Tape and stuck the Velcro underneath the driver side mat. Did a test as well and it holds the mat firmly to the ground. No mat movements again. I really wonder why the mat hook was not provided at all.

Too bad that MSIL for not including hooks/locks on their foot mats. I stuck a 10 cm long velcro strip (the hard one) under my noodle mats which are doing good for a couple months now. Didn't think of 3M tape back then and used a super glue (like Anabond).
Can you please share the links for your velcro and 3M tape?

Mat hooks are there under the driver seat, below the floor carpet. Unlike in the image, the two hooks you see under the lever are not visible, you'll have to cut two holes in the floor carpet to expose those hooks. At least that is how I did it in my Zeta 1.2. Press on the carpet near the area shown in the image and you'll be able to feel them.

Oh thats news to me. I did not find any sort of hooks anywhere under my seat or that areas . I dont understand why Maruti needs to hide such an important thing. I also asked the service/showroom guys as well and they too were clueless. Cut the OE Carpet ? Thats frustrating for me ![[frustration]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Frustration.gif "Frustration [frustration]")
Anyway thank you for the details ![[:)]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Smile.gif "Smile [:)]")

I asked the same thing at the service center because the mat would keep sliding towards the clutch lever causing an obstruction but they cluelessly told me that's how it is and nothing wrong with it. This was before I read the manual.
It is just two slits really, nothing damaging to the carpet. I did it with an old scalpel.

I read everything actually, might have missed this or dont remember as I bought the mat one month after buying the car. More attention went to service/maintenance side, and its a huge manual as well ![[:D]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Big%20Smile.gif "Big Smile [:D]")

Read the owner's manual, there may be a lot more other things that will be news to you.
