Securing rubber mats driver's side
I just picked up my Passion on Friday. How can i keep the flap on the rubber floor mat (drivers side) from falling down? I tried velcro, but the adhesive won't stick to the carpet. My dealer doesn't recommend putting those clips that drills holes in the floor. Any suggestions?

The clips don't put holes in the floor. They put holes in the carpet. I put them in when I added the regular floor mats and they workgreat.

My dealer installed the carpet minutes before I drove the car home. He used a screw driver to punch two holes in the carpet and then drilled the little plastic pieces in. It was pretty easy.

the OE mats have a plastic self tapping screw that bores into the carpet and holds on. these come with the carpet floor mats. As far as velcro , the hard side of the velcro sticks to the floor of our smarts.. on my carpets, the passengers side stays put using velcro installed by the factory (OE). let me know if you need pics to make things clearer.....

See previous posts in this thread. I've been saying that for a very long time. Daimler and Smart have not supported this brand in the US and they apparently relied on viral marketing and YouTube to do all of their advertising. My Smart dealer didn't…
Why is it that I see TONS of commercials for Honda, Toyota, Hyundai and Nissan but ZERO for smart cars? Why did they even bother to bring these cars to this country in the first place for? If Rick Case spent $2,000,000 on his 5,000 sq. ft. facility,…
I think a one word answer will do for all of the US, and that word is . . . . . . . . . .
ZERO
On NPR our "local" dealer has a SMART commercial, but I have heard or seen nothing else!
Except for Nissan who is advertising their micro/micra.
