floor mats wont stop sliding around

[scrap08]

I have the rubber floors with the XL models and I have rubber floor mats that keep sliding around all the time. Ive tried taping them down but they still come loose. Does anybody know how to fix this or have this problem too?

i had an 04 heritage(03 style) with vinyl floors and now have an 08 with vinyl floors. with the 04 i had a lot of trouble like you do. i tried those non slip mats for inside kitchen drawers, it helped a little but still slid. actually made it harder to pull them back in place with your feet while driving. i would try the velcro idea but maybe try to attach the one side of the velcro on the floor permanantly. the sticky side of the velcro will start coming off once dirt and stuff get under it. i would say maybe drill a hole in each the floor and put a nut and bolt thru the velcro and floor together. or just find another way to make it stay on the floor that doesnt include drilling. i just lived with it, ended up trading my 04 in for other reasons and now have my 08. the 08 has a deeper floor shape so my mats are fit in the area better. they still slide but only like 1 inch forward because of the better matching in shape between the floor and the mat.

or maybe try some automotive 3M tape. find it at walmart or autozone or whatever

some rubber cement maybe on the velcro strips? not sure if it will melt or soften anything else.

My 05 FX4 Screw has floor mat on the drivers side that "locks" in place. There is a tab that comes up through a corresponding hole in the floor mat that prevents the floor mat from sliding. I am guessing it is the factory floor mat (says F-150 on it). Never saw anthing like this until I bought this truck, pretty cool.

I believe all the carpeted floors have that little bolt that sticks up to lock the mats in place. They does not come with the vinyl flooring. I guess Ford expects people do not need mats when having vinyl flooring.

Anyway, mine slide a bit, but I'm totally used to it. The passenger side is the olny one that moves. Mainly because people aren't expecting it to slide.

Velcro is probably your best option.

Husky Liners layer in place without moving in my work truck. Take a look at them.
