Hi everybody. I have WeatherTech floor mats. The rear floor mat keeps sliding when passengers get in and it's really annoying. Any ideas of what I can do to keep them from sliding?

Heavy duty velcro.
I'm having this problem too. Especially on the drivers side. And when I have passengers in the back they always seem to move the mats up under the seats
What do you secure the velcro with, glue?

No. Velcro strips have their own sticky back. I used the industrial strength one that's made for rough surface/concrete.

Industrial strenght sounds good, Toyota joke was very good.
A couple of screws through them and into the carpet work well.
I know it's been a while but I just wanted to follow up on the issue in case somebody else has the same problem.
What I did was put some shelf liners underneath the mats. They seem to be staying in place now. I tried velcro but it didn't work. http://www.duckbrand.com/Products/shelf-liner/non-adhesive-liners/select-easy-liner.aspx

I once used an actual universal clip that was made for this purpose. Can't seem to find them anywhere anymore. Double sided carpet tape may be good. It pulls up when you want it to, but you'd have to replace it every time you removed the mats for cleaning. The shelf liner idea is pretty good, too. I have used big pieces of that in the trunk to keep stuff from sliding around.
Here we go. They just happened to be the first ones I found.

i find this odd, i have the laser cut weather tech floor inserts and there rock solid (dont move a inch) in both my silverado and my wifes accord.. I know weather tech makes a more economy "floor matt" is this what you have ? the cut/trim to fit getup ? if so i recomend the laser cut "custom fit" inserts.. worth every penny in my opinion.
i pull them out once every 6 months or so and power wash them too, look brand new everytime.. but they are expensive.. food for thought.. I will never go back to a floor matt again.
good luck

these are what im talking about.. Odd yours move.. ours are actually a bit of a hassle to get out becouse they stay inplace so well.. Id consider some heavy carpet screws (like what came with the driver side matt.. drill yourself a few holes up in the corners and add a few plastic carpet screws.. that should more than solve your troubles. good luck !

I wonder if your rear mat is the wrong one for your car. My rear one doesn't move at all.
They are the correct mats and I don't want to drill anything into my floorboards.

Drill holes in the plastic mat.. get "carpet screws" there short fat (PLASTIC) screws that just dig into the carpet and no further.. there the same short fat screws that should have come with your front driver side ..
I still find it odd yours are moving around..
