Accelerator Pedal – Rubber Or No?

[No_Xsara]

Quick question for other Xsara owners.

My Father-in-law just purchased a second hand Xsara. Diesel 2003 reg. On Several occasions his foot slipped of the accelerator pedal. Scary as he is not the best on the road in the first place. I noticed It was bare metal. My cars have rubber covers ( Renault (Rubbish) / Honda). I sent him back to the dealer to get a cover, they told him the xsara dosen't have a rubber pedal cover and that he'd get used to it. Is this correct ? Can an owner go have a look for me.

Many thanks Phil

I thought the same thing too, just bought a 99 Xsara & my accelerator peddle has no rubber either.
