i've been driving around for the past 3 months with my carpets getting smashed up into the front of the footwell. i thought this was just something i had to put up with, or that some glue or something had lost its tack,
but... i've now noticed there's a thin threaded stud right at the front of the seat base, and a corresponding hole in the carpet through which i assume the stud should fit.
but what goes onto the stud to keep the carpet from falling off... which it is clearly doing? or are my carpets missing some kind of fancy fastening grommet?
To prevent the top mats from moving forward I drill a hole in the mat, use the same post and press that plastic part in place. Never had any luck with the metal hooks.
My 83 has english style snap studs screwed to the floor, with metal clips crimped into the carpet...as in http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Car-Boat-...PJt2RfqKjV2JDw
As usual a couple were broken off.

Ask any of the many Lloyd's Matt suppliers for these. Come in several colors. Might even send to you for free. Ask our Rennlist vendor FD Motorsports, first. Good luck.
On the passenger side I only noted one screw on carpet cap. I purchased from Lowes a black screw on cap with its mate - a small housing with bolt. JB welded this small piece to floor and made small hole in whatever carpet or mat I use. No forward sliding. Unscrews to remove easily
I purchased long post black snaps and a snap fastener tool. Used my material hole punch to make a hole in the correct place, installed the snaps and snapped them into place. Works perfectly. These are the black leather mats with carbon fiber heel pad
I installed, but you can't see the snaps in this photo.
The factory pieces work excellently. My factory mats did not come with a hole for the mushroom button, but that was easy to remedy with a gasket punch and a hammer. You can probably get on with a razor knife and make a small X-cut for the barrel of the mushroom to pass through. The buttons themselves are somewhat sacrificial, as time and sunlight cause them to become brittle. At a buck or two each from 928 International, it's easy to justify gettiong what you need plus some spares. I have a collection of plastic fasteners like this, plus the door panel fittings, rocker sill cover rivets, etc. Since the postage is the same for one or six, stock up on all these bits at once.
