Floor Mat Question

[smiledr996s]

I just recieved a set of weather floor mats from GM, I put them in and since I have vynal flooring they slide all over. They have the dimples for carpet. Is there a specific mat for the vynal flooring or do I just need to get some velcro?

 

Thanks

Why do you need floor mats with a rubber floor already in the truck?

 

I would use velcro, as I know of no mats for rubber floors.

Yep I would use velcro. I once had a truck with the non carpeted floors and I also got some floor mats. I didnt like the way the floors felt even though it made them super easy to clean.

Lol that's the point of a vinyl floor. Use it and just turn the hose on it with a scrub brush and some soapy water once a month.

That is what I had planned, but they dont clean as easy as pulling out the mats. The mud seems to get embeded into the flooring. I will try some velco, if I dont like it there will be a for sale post here soon.

Try using a scrub brush to clean out all the grains in the vinyl.

When your done, give them a liberal coating of armor-all, worked for me to keep the dirt from sticking.

 

And yeah...Velcro to keep your mats in.

Yep, that is how I have been cleaning the floors, which is why I fiqured the mats would be easier.

 

Thanks for the responces

Ok,

 

I ground off some of the nubs and put on the velcro, but it did not stick well to the mats and not at all to the floor. Granted I did only blow w/ compressed air, and did not use any heavy cleaners. I dont mind using a heavy adhesive like super glue to the mats, but dont want to do that to the floors.

 

I plan to sand off all the nubs then need suggestions what to stick to the floor to prevent slipping w/o ruining the vynal floor. I am thinking of trying butyl tape. Any other suggestions??

 

Thanks

Try some if that synthetic gripping drawer liner stuff they use in RVs so stuff does not slide. Just cut a fair size sq and put under the mat. Also works on carpet and you can put some on the dash to hold such things a sun glasses, radar detector etc…

I was thinking the same thing, or the tape made for area rugs on hardwood floors.
