Default How do you stop carpet mats slipping under the pedals?

Sorry guys, i know this is pretty mundane, but my over mats slide under the pedals all the time. I cannot figure out how to fix them in place using the Porsche fixings.

Am i going mad ?

The mats i have, have 2 oval shaped holes in them for some sort of fixing.

Any ideas gratefully received?

There should be two metal brackets protruding from the front of the seat rails on each side. They have a rotating catch that locks into the oval holes in the OE Porsche mats. If you are missing them, I am not sure you can get the brackets without buying the mat set new ( £90? from dealer ). Perhaps you could use cable ties?

Part number 000 043 202 79

They are listed in the PET Tequipment catlogue which is avalable on the Porsche website

Brackets are about £25.00 IIRC

have you considered Hook and Loop tape (a.k.a. Velcro) applied to the floor and bottom of the mat?
You should be able to get enough for a fiver.

The cables ties definitely work. I've got aftermarket mats and attach mine to the brackets in exactly that way. I guess Hev964 doesn't have the brackets though?

Thanks chaps, yes i have got the brackets, i just can't figure out how they are supposed to hold the mats.

I considered cable ties myself, but thought there must be a more cosmetically pleasing approach

I think the rotating catches must be missing.

No, i hadn't thought of that. I tried double sided carpet tape, but that wasn't sticky enough.

Good idea.

You can buy after market fixings and clips. I've got a set, although haven't fitted them yet.

Search on "car mat fixings".

These are the sort of thing mean, but you can get slimmer/nicer looking ones.

Basically, they grip on the carpet and then a pin goes through the mat and you screw the retaining top on.

A mate gave me my ones so I can't point you to a link.
