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.

 

Thanks

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.

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. :flag:

 

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.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’m doing an experiment on a vehicle I don’t have much money in. I’m going by the premise that after they last 100K miles they were no mechanical problems with assembly. Or defects with the parts. With oil changes by the minder for the first 127K miles when I acquired it. I quickly went through low mileage oil changes then settled on 5k oil changes with close to 170K miles on the vehicle currently. I did have the option to turn off the cylinder deactivation. I didn’t on this vehicle because in ECONOMY mode at least half the time. It should be a no brainer frequent oil changes are the key. The manufacturer gets away with the long oil changes with its severe service  maintenance. Just ask them what is normal.

      Hot air constantly blowing through floor vents, drivers side only?

      By baglie1 · Posted

      Even set to "recirculated", the air pushes out and is hot. I have noticed that sometime it doesn't want to switch between recirculated/vented air. Say it is set to Circulated Air and I want to switch to Vented, when I click the Vented button, it just quickly lights up/clicks and immediatly switches back to Circulated. It's done this a few times now. So maybe it is an actuator getting stuck? But then, that doesn't explain the hot air when everything is off does it?

      I wonder what the price is out at the coast, Big Sur or other out of the way locations as I bet they are charging quite a premium over the in land pumps.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Were you looking at the HD trucks on the GM website or the half tons as that makes all the difference. As far as I know there are only two options for the HD trucks and that is the standard 2 speed transfer case or the 2 speed transfer case that has the added 4 high auto feature and they put that transfer case by default into the LTZ and High Country although its optional in the LT and not sure if its available in the work trucks.    The half tons, that is where its been a total mess in my estimation for a few years now with most trucks below the top trim having the single speed transfer case as standard but with the option of having the two speed such as one would get by choosing the Z71 package, however then not being able to get the two speed transfer case with the towing package unless it was a higher trim truck AND had the 6.2 gas so one could combine the towing package gearing diffs with the two speed transfer case. Having said that if its a trail boss package then it gets the two speed transfer case but not necessarily able to get the tow package as it would depend on trim level and engine chosen. Believe me, people have bought the GM half tons assuming "of course it will have a two speed transfer case" only to find out after when they really pay attention to what they now own .... crap, there is NO low range !.    I don't believe Ford or Ram have gone that way yet with their half tons but like I say its been a few years now that GM has done this with the half tons.
