Azerone Car Mat Carpet Clips The ever-popular, multi-award-winning Yaris* nameplate has reached 10 million cumulative worldwide sales, performance which earns it a place alongside Toyota’s illustrious eight-figure achievers – Corolla, Camry, RAV4, Hilux and Land Cruiser Eagle Claw Floor Mat Clips are one of the most popular mat clips nowadays.

The problem with floor mats starts when they are not secured to the vehicle’s floor. Loose floor mats are especially the case with older vehicles. Car manufacturers like Toyota usually use retention hooks to secure floor mats in place. Therefore, these vehicles usually have predetermined holes where you should place hooks. How to Install Them Nowadays, we can’t imagine a vehicle without car mats. They are easily removed; therefore we can change them if they wear off. What’s more, cleaning them isn’t as hard as cleaning the carpet. Put the mat on a flat surface like the workbench. Then, proceed to cut the holes either with some sharp tool or by placing a small metal tube on the mat and hammering it down. Just make sure that the holes aren’t larger than the diameter of the hook’s head. Retainer Twists

My 2006 C6 Corvette had OEM floor mats that were secured by flimsy plastic tabs which snapped over oversized floor posts. The tabs broke allowing the mat to creep forward and bunch up behind the gas peddle. Not good!

They secure floor mats by clipping the carpeting and hooking the mat. They are one of the most common ways to secure mats.

So, be careful how you hit them when you’re fastening them to the carpeting.

However, the damage can be even worse than that if the liquid gets on the metal underneath. If you don’t notice and tend to it soon, that part of the floor will probably corrode. You’ll find them efficient because they include multiple hooked spikes on the bottom part. These spikes serve as a perfect anchor point for every carpeting. Their purpose is to secure car floor mats in place. You may see them as a way to keep the aesthetics of your car floor intact. However, they are also a safety measure since floor mats that are out of place can get in the way of pedals.
