Rear floor mats nearly flew away... anyone else?

[centra28]

I went doors off/roof off for the first time this weekend. As I was driving happily down the highway, I looked back to change lanes and noticed that my rear floor matts where flopping all over the place, and one was about to fly out. I didn't realize it at first, but upon inspection the rear matts are not snapped into place like the ones in the front.

I have the rubber floor liners available for vinyl flooring, that fit into the active drain plug grooves. The back matts look pretty slick because they have a nice Bronco emblem that fits across the middle section on the floor. I had to pull the rear matts out for doors off travelling, a little bummed about that.

wondering if this has happened to anyone else, and what you did. I had a mind to put some 2 sided tape down to help secure the matts.

Yep, a couple other people have reported other such involuntary weight reduction in their cars with the doors off

I have the Husky liners and above 40mph they would flap around. I bought a roll of 3M Dual Lock tape from Amazon (LINK) and addached each side of the mat to the door sill. No more flapping!

Everyone else.

I noticed this was happening to my Del Taco quesadilla when I tired to eat at freeway speeds with the doors off.

Like many have said, two sided tape does the trick.

Surefit all weather on Amazon hold strong no issues with doors off

I took the rear mats out the other day and was very surprised that they don't secure in place at all! Really dumb for a truck where the doors can be removed.

I usually have my kids big feet holding them down. I also have a small fire extinguisher under each seat that wedges in perfect and holds the front part of the mat tight. You could probably run a bungee across to your steps or other hold down.
