Carpets

[Whale_Tail]

My drivers side carpet moves towards the pedals every time I get into the car - What is the best solution ? glue, Velcro or Velcro glue to the car and carpet and joined ?

Thanks

Either of those will work but you could also use carpet joining tape. Or for a less permanent fixing you could use rug gripper tape, that might work. If you use carpet joining tape it definitely wont move again, its bloody sticky stuff!

you can aslo use carpet studs..

Or you could take the novel approach a previous owner of my car took. Throw them away....

It's quite disconcerting seeing the road pass under you!

Any idea where you can get new ones?

Thanks Unders - will have a search online for some - sounds the kiddie.

I pull up on the leading edge of the vinyl covered fiberglass trim panel that hides the floor under the seat and slide the edge of the mat underneath it; if your carpet has enough thickness, and if the fiberglass is applying enough pressure it may work.

My Mother-in-law drilled a couple of holes and put a small stainless screw with washer in place to keep them from shifting; highly effective, but not my preference.

I find this method the best, as stops then getting soggy !

Just looking for some blue garage floor paint that matches the rest of the carpet

Try putting rubber bungs in the holes, but then the water level rises instead of draining away

All done - Bought carpet gripper tape off fleabay.

Nice job and very sticky stuff. Carpets are stuck nicely.

Volvo solved that one by putting two locating studs in the carpets. Ie peg sticking up from floor, hole in carpet.
