Floor matts slipping

[perleman]

Hi all, just a mild problem this time:

The floor-mat slips forward, meaning that sometimes when I push the clutch in, it touches the carpet, and sort of sticks to the pedal as I release it, pinging against the accelerator pedal - very very disconcerting the first time it happened! There is velcro on the revers of the matt & the floor but it obviously isn't workingtoo well is this a known issue with a simple cheap and effective solution?

Some floor mats come with a plastic "bayonet-type" clip that is sewn to the rear corners of the floor mats and then clipped on to the small hole that is on the top surface of the very front of the seat frame rails.

I guess you can either get new mats or get four of those clips from home depot and sew them on to your mats.

You can buy "heavy duty" Velcro strips at a hardware or fabric store. Use some flexible epoxy to put the velcro on...you'll live.

There is also sticky backed Velcro. It is strong enuf to hold my flags to the poles in high winds. Should work on carpet/mats.
