Floor Mat Help
Good evening to all.
I need to order new mats for my 986S. I absolutely have to have them stay put where they belong, and NOT SLIDE FORWARD!
Do the factory mats with the Velcro stay in place?
Do the Lloyds attach the same way?
Is there a better way to keep the driver mat in place?
Thanks for your opinions!

Thanks for the reply zoomster1776.
When I got my last set of oem mats, which was about sixteen years ago, I was hesitant to install that floor mounted velcro fastening plate. I didn't want to have to burrow some thing into the permanent carpet. Obviously, you can see why I'm having my problem.
In everyone's experience, do the oem mats stay attached to the floor mounted velcro fastening plate?

My 03S does not have Velcro but has 2 snap clips that clip into sockets that are secured underneath the seats. This prevents the mat from sliding forward. One of the clips on the driver side has fatigued somewhat and on occasion becomes unclipped but the mat never slides forward enough to interfere with the pedals.

They worked perfectly!!! I can completely confirm new OEM mats will stick to the round velcro discs that kind of screw into the floor carpet. After years of having to re-adjust the mat after getting into the car, NO MORE!!!!
