you could try keeping a 10lb weight on them, or perhaps some sort of zip-tie situation such as those that Toyota would impliment.

The floor mats in the back seat arent my problem. I hate the driver side floor mat. That stupid hook sucks! The mat never stays put...

i flipped mine upside down so that the rubber side faces upward. they seem to last longer"no worn out spots" and they stick alittle better in place. also the carpet part of floor mats dont get dirty.

I have read in other areas of evom of people screwing down the plastic clip that has the hook. I did this to my car but I put a spacer in between the clip and the floorboard. Otherwise the clip is high in the front since it's screwed down as close to flush with the floorboard as possible. I figured that could break the clip. I think it does help to keep that mat in place, and keeps the carpet from getting ripped up from making that plastic clip move around with the mat.

Simple fix, industrial Velcro. choose a spot close to the back of the mat (right at the drivers seat, close to the existing hook) so its not to visible. Shave the carpet down so that the adhesive will stick better (or use epoxy plus the adhesive...a little overbore though)

Then attach one side to that carpet, and one to the mat and voila. Still removable, but it won't move.

my front one will not stay still. it always moves left, then i move it back and to the right, then my foot slips off. i have a heel worn out spot on it already. i am constantly adjusting it. i used to take it out when autoX, thinking about doing that for good.

dont worry about the rears bc thats wat the autopower bar is for! haha. great power parts, terrible interior
