So basically my floor mat. more specifically MY floor mat (driver side) is always moving up and coving up my gas pedal, never enough to push it down, but defiantly enough to be a huge pain in the a$$. Anyone got any ideas on how to fix this? anyone else have this problem?

 

dont you have a little hook under your seat that the floor mat fits onto to prevent that? i knw mine does and i thought it was practically the best invention ever lol

 

Yeah, even the thick all weather rubber ones should stay put if you use the attach pin/hook.

 

i do. every time. that's why i cant figure it out, it manages to move to the side, and get up over the pedal. and i thought the pin was supposed to prevent that. i'll try and get a picture. it's crazy and annoying.

 

Sounds like you need a bigger pin! lol

 

lol. maybe new floor mats? just seems like a pain to spend 65 bucks for something that shouldntbe happening.

 

velcro?

 

nah man just duct tape that SOB down to tha floor itl work like a charm garuntee it

you should do a DIY of the process while your at it!!! major points bro major points

 

Hmmm I don't think I have a hook on mine or at least I never really looked. lol I just occasionally pull down the floor mat towards the seat if it gets too close to the pedals.

 

can someone post a picture of this tab?
i dont think i have one, and my mat moves like 2 inches everytime i drive

 

you dont have one? is it broken? cuz i have one...just doesnt seem to help much. and i have a base model 6 speed, no dsc or anything...so you should have one.

 

i dont think i have one... i took my mats out and its just smooth. not even a whole if there was a tab before.

 

Haha lmao

 

There's a picture on this site somewhere, I remember someone else not having this and there was a picture taken for him. Try and search floor mats, or I will when I get a chance.

Here I found the picture. This is installed by the dealer and not the factory, so if you don't have one(check it's not in your glove box), then you can get one from the dealer.

 

^ see i do have one...it just doesnt stop it from moving much, it cant completely cover up my pedal...but still enough to worry and annoy me.

 

i had the problem until i got all weather mats. there really should be another pin to hold the front part in place. the pin in the back is just an axis for it to spin on.

 

You can always stick on some hook side Velcro on the bottom of your mat to grip the carpet. Works well.

 

i found mine but, what is the other piece for??

 

Or move it forward and tuck it under the gas pedal.

 

done that...still moves. i'll go with velcro

 

Think we have discussed the hook on here a couple times. Seems everytime we get a few people who swear they do not have the hook. Maybe it was only on 05+s or maybe it was not installed, but given to the original owner who threw them out. Who knows.

Use a zip tie and loop it through the eye hole on the floor mat then around the hook. Zip it TIGHT. If it still moves, use a longer zip tie and zip it to something else under the seat.

 

I have always wondered about this as well. Just went and looked and I dont have the hook, and its not in the glove box. Guess I'll stop at the dealer on the way home and get one ordered.

 

Yeah, I actually have the all weather mats on top of the "normal" mats and it doesn't move at all as you well know. Those all weather ones aren't going anywhere!

 

looks like it slides over the post so the floor mat doesn't slide back off.

 

I hate to bump an old thread but I have been having trouble getting this thing ordered. Twice Mazda has sent the wrong part. Anyone have a part number for this?
