MAXPider floor mats

So I tried out the 3D MaxPider all-weather mats that are basically trays for the footwells. The fit was fine and they looked pretty good, but I got a little concerned when I realized they covered the dead pedal. And sure enough, after a few minutes of driving, I happened to plant my left foot only to have the whole mat slide forward. The part that covers the dead pedal is backed with the same velcro-like material that covers the rest of the mat, so it has zero grip in that spot.

So yeah, it's a bit of a deal-breaker for me, which is a shame because I like just about everything else about them. I'll probably just end up with the regular OEM rubber mats instead.

UPDATE: Velcro tape FTW! I'm keeping the MAXSpiders.

The OEM rubber mats are great. They have Velcro circles in the same spot as the OEM carpet mats so they stay put.

I've got one of their trunk liners, and they are great. Bad news, we just paid for another two pages of Car&Driver ads.

So this weekend I decided to give them one more chance before returning. I went to Home Depot and spent $4 on some "heavy duty" velcro tape. I put one good-sized strip (maybe 4" x 1") on the dead pedal with the soft carpet side facing up. It worked perfectly. The mat, she no move, no mater how hard I push. I'll be keeping the MAXpiders now.
