MKIV Floor Mats Creeping Forward

[JETAV8R]

Has anyone come up with a way to keep their floor mats from sliding forward? Every time I drive, my drivers side floor mat wants to get bunched up under my gas pedal. I find myself always reaching down while driving and pulling the mat back towards my seat.

I'm considering a set of these.

Great find Dave! I'm going to order a set and install. That should solve my problem.

A tip for making clean holes in the mats is to heat a socket in the desired diameter and press the heated socket through the mat.

I used "lift the dot" snaps. Two at the edge parallel with the front of the seat and two just beyond the drop in the floor. Mats never move and are easy to take out.

I had my wife sew two loops of webbing long enough to loop over the knobs of the Breeze Seat mounts. Works great.

When you mount your anti-sub, 5th belt in a too-far-forward position on accident you end up having to slot the floor mat and feed the belt through that...that is one solution to floor mat movement. Ask me how I know.

That's a great idea. Think I'll try it. Oops....already did. :mad:

I just used 2 stainless bolts and nuts thru the floor on each mat, has worked great for me,they are under the front edge of seats so not really visible.

Did both what Walt above did (but used nutcerts instead of nuts), and added a 3/16 aluminum bar across the rear edge of the dropped floor.

I drilled through the mats, carpet, and floor pan and used some long Ford plastic trim fastener pins through all of it on either side of the mat. The pins go through the mat at right after the drop in the floor so they will also serve as drain holes if I get caught in the rain.

I put two rivnuts where boat 737 has his bolts. I used 2 stainless screws with washers to hold them in place. No problems since.

Thanks guys! Lots of good ideas.

I’ve been very happy with these snap rings from Moss Motors. Completely invisible.

There are a bunch of different clips as you can see from the posts. Definitely pick one! Mats are pretty dangerous in these cars without being clipped in.

Black bolts through the floor with large flat washers (painted black) under the bolt head.

One thing to consider about bolts or screws. If you do a track day or autocross, the drivers mat has to be removed. Just make sure that removal isn't too hard if you are going to do those types of events.

Thanks for the recommendation, got it done!

Gotta give credit to someone else for the carpet hole technique, I just don’t remember who.

I glued Velcro strips to the back of the floor map. It grips the carpeting really well.
