Default stock floor mats about to fly out the door

Anybody else noticed that stock rear floor mats want to take flight when the doors are off? Are there any simple remedies?

Ripping out the carpet and bedlining is not a simple solution at all. It is very involved, however, it also has the best outcome. No more worries about floormat, water, food, paper or small children ever again. It all either drips out as jeep intended or they fly out at highway speeds as jeep intended.

As a side note, the police frown on little children flying out of ur jeep at highway speeds.

And the best part is, if u decide to reinstall ur carpet later u can without an issue, infact it will mow keep ur carpet in one spot, no more sliding around under ur feet as u drive. Attach the floormats to the carpet with eiter velcro or staples. Big staples are easily removed if desired.

I have the jeep heavy rubber rear mate. blows around too..... I just throw it in the back, the seat blocks the wind and doesnt go anywhere. if someone gets in, put it back, their feet will hold it down.
