I went to lowes and got some snaps. Screw the male side into floor, then brad the female side to the floor mats. I think I put like six total on back mat. Simple snap in snap out process now.

Did this to my rear passenger mat, get the good industrial velcro with the tape on the back. Stick it on the top and bottom of the very end and one piece where it goes up and over the hump. It'll never move again, won't rip up the threads on your carpet and is easy to remove for cleaning.

A buddy of mine uses something called "mat-lock"s. They are these little metal clips that install with a pin through the carpet next to the rubber mats, then clip onto the edge of the mat, thus "locking" them to the floor. I just saw these yesterday for the first time. Not sure where to get them yet though.
