Default Lost a floormat today.

Well, my commute takes me along the shore of Lake Ontario. Apparently 70 MPH, an onshore breeze, and the lack of doors is not a good combination for keeping rear floor mats in my unlimited. I've had close calls before, but today I had one disappear. I guess I'll look for my lost mat on the way home in the morning, but I'm betting I'll need to replace it.

Any ideas on how to keep them in? I remember seeing some talk about it here a few months ago, but couldn't find it with the search feature. Any clever tricks?

Get the quadratic floor mats. They are very heavy and will not move.

What he said, they do lift a little but the back one isn't going anywhere since it's one huge piece.

Almost lost mine a few weeks ago. Saw it in my review and was able to snag it before it flew out the side. Seeing it come up in the mirror scared the crap out of me. Normally when I'm going to be at highway speeds I toss it in the back under the duster.

My one piece rear Mopar slush mat floats 4-6" off the floor when I get going with the doors off.

My 4 year old son thinks it is hilarious.

It's to bad they don't have a hook hole like the front ones do.

With that said I would think the Velcro (stronger the better) suggestion is the way to go
