Default Anyone know where I can get OEM floor mat holders?

Anyone know where I can get OEM floor mat holders? They are about 2" circles called MAT-LOCS and thread into the floor pan that grip the velcro under the factory mats and keep them from moving / sliding around.
I know seems silly but I cannot find these anywhere tried two dealers, online and even the manufacturer with no luck. I am missing two and the damn floor mats are all over the place.

Thanks

I believe when I bought a new set of mats they came with the mats. Soooooo, if you can find someone who is buying new mats perhaps they will give you the old discs?

I have a few extras as well that I'd be happy to send to you. Let me know if Shawn doesn't have what you need.

One of mine on the driver's side no longer stays in the hole created in the carpet. I wonder if the MAT-LOK's shaft is worn down or the hole in the carpet has gotten too large/loose. Mat floats around at times.

^Ralph, I would bet Lloyd's would send out new Mat Lok's. Are the Loks those plastic cap/screw thingys that grip onto the post in the floor?

I know BMW sells these for their cars. All the dealerships have them.

Yea, I think one of my holes on the drivers side is also opened up but i figure once I get a new MAT-LOC I can just line it with something to increase the grab on the treads.

Thanks, guys if anyone has any extra's they could part with just PM me I am going to try lloyds too.

So, is the disc coming off the carpeted floorboard or just not staying connected to the mat?

Unfortunately I forgot to look for these last night and I'm away from my apartment for a few days.

Dell, if you know that you have these available and wouldn't mind sending them I'd appreciate it. I don't want Miami waiting around to hear from me only to realize I don't have them.

I have a Mercedes-Benz part holding my P-Car mats. It is a pin (think hat pin/safety pin) that is inserted into the carpet, then connected to the pin is a clip that clips to the floor mat. They are all metal, can't wear out, don't have to cut hole in carpet, invisable...perfect!...I found them on the web called Mat-Loc

Those look like the ones I order from Porsche P/N 986.551.985.00, they run about $4 each.
