I can unequivocally state that not one of those Weathertech boobies are sagging.

They do and they have side clips as well. Check out the bottom of their homepage. https://www.tuxmat.ca/
I'm thinking of replacing the WeatherTech's in my 3 yo Q7 with these as the WT mats have become saggy.

Anyone with comments or a suggestion would be appreciated.
Check out Lloyd Mats - they are authorized by Porsche to use the logo (in case you want to add it) - solid rubber mats and other varieties as well. Link below.

I have weathertech mats for 1 year and they look great. I drive all winter and want the full coverage. The sales guy was surprised how tight they fit.

Check out 3D spider mats (Kagu). Lighter, flexible, full coverage, look nice, don’t smell. Have used them for many years. Competitively priced, great fitment—weathertech aok as well fwiw.

I actually wanted to consider, but they don't list the 911 as an option.

Here is a customer service testimonial for weathertech.

Several years ago, I bought weathertech mats for my CTS-V. They simply didnt fit. They had been made for a CTS, but apparently the floorpan in the V is a little different.

I made that statement on a message board. David MacNeil, the owner of weathertech, private messaged me and asked me for my phone number. He called me, apologized and made new mats for my car, which he gave me for free.

I dont think Ive ever had customer service like that.

In fact, Im buying some for my car now.

Weather Tech mats for sure AND you can customize them as PORSCHE mats!

Was it easy to remove the weathertech logo? Heated it up?

Mr. MacNeil, and his son, Cooper (pictured here and driver of the #63 car) are good people. Very-very generous to our local Chicago Region PCA:

They have their own system that looks pretty good. I'm going to try a set in my S5 tonight for a change from Weathertechs. Weathertechs fit so well in my 911 that they don't sag. Not the same in all cars. I'll let you know how Tuxmats work.

I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to post too many pictures of the WeatherTech cheerleaders.

So, far, I'm thinking not.
