my floor mat .


Alsmost everytime i drop the clutch.. it sticks under the mat on release ..

now.. i could put a dob of glue on the bottom of the mat.. to stop movement.. or take it out? or another solution ?

its a bit confusing.. and very annoying to happen.. .. thaughts.. ?

Yes I've had that problem with Maestro mats before - the solution I found to work was stick velcro to the mat and let it cling to the carpet! :D

Get some self adhesive velcro and stick the side with the hooks to the mat and then the carpet, job done

Try fleabay for the velcro or your local craft shop. I used this to mount my CD changer under the passenger seat.

Graham, I did mean, as Dean pointed out, that the velcro you stick to the mat needs to be self adhesive - it worked for 1000's of miles!

Lol Graham. Failing that, you could always just get some new mats that are a tad longer ;)

I made these at work out of Aluminium to stop my mats moving about as they also kept riding up behind the pedals. Work a treat. :)
