Floor Mat Hooks

My plan is to pull them from a junkyard car at the pick-n-pull. Probably pretty easy to find in a newer honda or toyota.
Should be easy to install, cheap and OEM quality..

That's a good point. I should go poke around and see which ones are the easiest to remove and transfer. Then I suppose you can get a cheap grommet tool for the mats.

Thanks for sharing. Never heard of foor mat hooks before.

May not be oem looking but a hidden bit of safty wire through the matt and around the seat bolt has worked for decades for me.

I did hit up a salvage yard and got a couple of bar style ones from Honda Civics. But in getting them home, the floor section that the seats bolt to are smaller than the Honda ones, so it doesn't look like you can effectively bolt them to that raised floor section. I'm going to get ones that go through the carpeting next and see if that style would be a better option.

Update: Got the mats back. The grommet size was a little too big, and I thought they were going to be black anodized, but oh well.

Due to the curvature of the floor by the transmission tunnel, the mats will slip out of the bar hooks, especially on the inside one. I think the perfect solution is going to be a hook style which hooks back toward the driver, which is common on most newer cars. My 18 Murano has this type, they're plastic and puncture through the carpet.

As a quick fix, I remembered I had some right angled vacuum caps in my toolbox. They have just enough "hook" to hold the drivers mat in place. After driving to downtown LA and back 3+ hours total driving, they did hold. Looks silly, but for the moment, it seems they'll do until I figure out the solution.

This is the goal: Keeping the mat out from behind the gas pedal

@mwolvinm It is original carpet, I'm the 2nd owner of the car, that's why. My rear hatch area carpet has shrunk though, but that is very common with these cars anyways. If you do buy aftermarket carpet, it may be better than what you have, but you'll have to do some trimming to make it fit. It will never be 100% as good as the factory carpet. Maybe you could remove your carpet and have it cleaned?
