Now for the splice. Using your wire strippers (you do have a good pair that has individually sized spots for different wire gauges, right? if not get a pair, they are better than the all in one crap crimper/strippers or the "adjustable" strippers) cut the insulation at two points about a half inch apart, then use your knife to cut off the insulation at that point.
Here is the barrel crimp I cut in half and spread apart to slip over the wire.
Slip the crimp over the wire and then close it up and then slip the new ground wire for the mats in and crimp it down.
Apply liquid tape and slip heatshrink over it and shrink it down, then plug the terminal back into the right spot in the connector and wrap it back up. Slip some more heatshrink over the new ground wire and crimp on a insulated spade connector and apply liquid tape and shrink the heat shrink on.
