any tips or tricks to make these things stay put?

thx in advance

I haven't really noticed a problem but nobody really sits in the back that often.

NOPE...mine stay in place quite nicely.

No problems here

I haven't had any problems with my floor mats moving around.

You might want to make a quick trip to Wal-Mart. You can get Velcro with adhesive tape on the back. Put that on the bottom of the mat and let it grp the carpet. It might not stop it completely but it doesn't hurt to try.

My passenger side mat is ALWAYS out of place. I wish they had the same stub to hold it like the driver's side. When people do sit in the back, those ones move around alot too.

I'll take a look at that velcro solution...but I think the bumpies on the bottom of the mat may make the velcro not stick (that make sense?)

I have that problem with my MOMO mats. The thing is, ALL OF THEM DO IT! when i shift the clutch pushes it forward a little bit at a time so Im constantly pulling it back. I tink that Im going to try the velcro.

yes, they either move too much or my passengers like to kick my mats around too much.

hmm... good suggestion ourp5, if it does not work, going to nail those down.

I have no problems with them coz I just put another floor mats over the stock one. The ones with little squares to trap the rain, dirt, snow, etc.
They work great. When it rain, you should see what those little squares can hold and knowing that stuff its not on the stock carpet.
Give those a try......

I have 6800 miles on my pro5 and never had any of my floor mats move or shift at all.
I have now replaced the factory mats with rubber R racing mats. They are great. They stay in place for the most part, (driver side moves forward slightly) and they are super easy to clean. Also they are yellow and black so they go great with my car! (They also come in blue w/Black and red w/black)

Oh yeah, same here. Exept for the driver mat, they are always moving.

Might try the velcro idea. If you trim a bit of the (bumpies), enough to fit the piece of velcro....i guess it should work.

Thanks for the tip

I tried the vel-cro thing today...

I replaced the carpet floor mats that came with my Pro5 because people with muddy ass shoes always getting them dirty, and they time consuming to clean.
I bought some rubber one's at Wal-Mart for the rear, and some red Racing-X rubber mats for the front. They all slide 'cept the driver side. Today I tried the vel-cro idea, and it's working great.

Just my two cents for those who are thinking about trying the vel-cro.

 

[Onatrum]

Racing-X and R-Racing the same mats?

Maybe I made up the name Racing-X lol But I have a picture of what I bought, and I think they are the R-Racing mats that Baltopro5 is talking about.

 

[Baltopro5]

X racing or R racing
I think it's R racing but if you look at it some times it could be an X. It doesn't matter. The only thing that does matter is I think they look great in our cars.
Thanks for the velcro Idea I'll have to try that.
