September 7, 2009 To:All Ford and Lincoln Mercury DealersSubject:Custom Accessories Product Update – Premium Carpeted Floor Mats

Earlier this year, our supplier of Premium Carpeted Floor Mats ceased to operate and, as a result, we currently have over 6,500 Premium Carpeted Floor Mats on back order.
While we're pleased to announce that a new supplier has been identified and awarded the business, we will not have full coverage of the new Premium Carpeted Floor Mats until 1Qtr 2010.
NEW PREMIUM CARPETED FLOOR MATS AVAILABLE 1Q 2010


All new part numbers will be released and the premium carpeted floor mats will be:

• Released in sets of 4 – front and back – one part number
• Family Priced
• Display Friendly – for dealers who merchandise their floor mats

REQUIRED ACTION

• Due to the current availability issues, we recommend that dealers cancel their existing orders and fulfill current customer demand by ordering either Production Carpeted Floor Mats or All Weather Floor Mats.
• To order Production Carpeted Floor Mats, please utilize GCAT to ensure the correct part number based on Vehicle Model and Build Date. Also, note that Production Carpeted Floor Mats are packaged in sets of 2 (left side front and back, and right side front and back). Two part numbers are needed for a complete set of 4.

BACKORDER CANCELATION DEADLINE
Any remaining backorders will automatically be canceled after October 31, 2009.


FYI,
