Aftermarket Floor Mats not Staying in Place

[03cobra#694]

Hey Gang,
I have some Husky aftermarket floor mats in my F-150, and have had them for years. The passenger side has always shifted a little, but now the drivers side is doing it. It's nothing major, just doesn't stay lined up with the floor contours and drives me nuts. Anyone have any descent solutions for this life changing issue?
Thanks,
Masta03

Drywall screws! Guaranteed to work.

I had this issue with the Husky liner for my Explorer cargo area. I used a couple of the 1" x 1" hook and loop squares that have adhesive on the back side, and stuck them to the bottom of the liner. It keeps the liner from moving, and still permits me to remove the liner when I need to.

Thanks brainiac. lol I'd actually us drill screws due the metal.

Yeah, I did a velcro strip deal on the passenger side, but it still moves a a little. Might need to find some wider stuff.

Yes, Weathertech

I've used many variations of their Floormat's and Cargo area mats. Trucks, Escape, etc.

People who use them in a GT500 are weird

These are Huskys Pete, been fine for 5 years until recently. Might just grab some of those, as these are getting a touch old and beat up looking.

Can you use a heat gun to reshape them to fit better?

Hmmm...interesting idea. I ordered a few hook/loop deals with sticky backing to try first.

I'd suggest pulling them, then doing a nice vacuum on the carpet to "fluff it up". Guessing they have flattened the carpet enough so it doesn't have enough grip.

Could also punch a couple of holes in the mat close to the seat mounts and then run a small zip tie to the seat mounts to hold in place.

My truck actually has the post receptacle, and the weather techs came with the post that holds them firmly in place.

Just looked, drivers side has these and so do the mats. I'll pull the factory mat when I get home and see if it works. Pass side doesn't have them.

Wait - you had the husky mats on top of the factory mats? If so, that's your problem.

I did, for like 5 years. I took a little short cut. lol
