Try putting a towel under them and make sure your garage floor is clean.

Ive found that if you hold your left foot on the brake and right foot on the gas just slighty, and you creep up slowely onto the ramps... they don't slide as easily. Also, like 2020is said, try a towel. Ive also used door mat's... (carpet on top, and rubber on bottom for traction)

put a peice of duct tape on the back outer-bottom edge of it, and the floor, longways (if that makes sense )

I just bought a pair. Mine have thick rubber feet on them at the front and back of the ramp. Are you saying the rubber doesn't keep them from sliding? Thats what I was told it was for at Auto Zone.

Mine have the rubber feet too.

What about some 3m anti skid tape on the bottom?

I went to Wal Mart and bought two rubber mats... the little rubber pads work on rough concret but not finished as in the garage...

Works great ever since.

My ramps only have the rubber pad on the front part of the ramp. I noticed that when I drive up on the ramps about six inches, the ramps bow and the rubber pad is not even touching the ground. At that point they start to slide. I'll try the rubber mat idea. Thanks for the suggestions.

Thanx for asking about the ramps. I've had the same problem for a while and worked around it by using the ramps out on the driveway in moderate weather.

The ramps are sure quicker than a floor jack and stands for a lot of things.

I just wished they made them with 2 or 3 more inches of lift for us middle aged guys.:o
