Having the same problem. People getting in and out, passenger side and rear mats all over the place. The factory carpet mats are not heavy enough for the spikes to work. Spikes are also too small and too flexible. I bought some all season rubber mats that have some weight to them and threw them on top of the factory mats. The whole deal stays put.

Bought some velcro from Frabric Land and will be attaching them to the bottom to make sure they stay put no matter what.

to each his own. my idea of fun is having a car that looks good and is clean and when people look at it they say "wow, this car is so sweet". turning an $18000 investment into junk yard POS is not my idea of fun. having ants crawl all over the place because somebody dropped a piece of food in my car is not my idea of fun. and having seats that are ripped and carpet with dirt spots in it is not my idea of fun. but thats just me. i like to think of my car as a showcar.

I punched a little hole on the side of my new floormat and put a zip tie thru it and conected it to the post that originaly held the floormat in place on the drivers seat. It works fine.

Try the aftermarket rubber mats at the mazda dealership. I can't remember who makes them, they are some sort of generic mat I think. Mine cost me $39.95 CAD for all four. They're thin so they might not be the best for the winter but the sure do stay put! Plus they do kinda look cool.

the mats still slide.

I'll try something soon.
I went to walmart and bought the industrial strenght adhesive backed velcro. (as suggested by Nuke and Foxy). Holy crap I am pretty sure those mats will still be stuck to the car when the melt it for scrap. I tried to take one out to readjust it and it damn near pulled the carpet out with it. Thanks for the tip guys.

If you don't use as much as I did you should be ok. I would recommend a 1"X2" strip in each corner of the mat. Oh yeah and cut the little knobbies off the mats so the tape sticks better.
