Car mats that don't move about?

I've just bought a Qashqai with no mats.
I'm not bothered about genuine ones, I just need something that doesn't or far less likely to move about.

This was highly annoying with my old car.

Can anyone recommend anything please?

    Ideally you want the mats with velcro strap backing on them to hold them down

    Have a look on eBay.

    You should be able to get mats which are compatible with the vehicles fittings.

    Genuine mats should be available for not a lot of money, they attach to the cars own fixings and don't slide around.

    Velcro mats is an idiots solution, buying mats that tear up the existing carpets??? Seriously? What's the actual point?

    If you buy a roll of velcro you could put enough on that it won't move at all so no risk to carpets assuming the car has them and not say a hard plastic floor

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

  • The genuine Qashqai mats are a hard plastic and have a press stud arrangement to prevent them moving. Had them on my Qash and were excellent. The ones in the ebay ad look like they also have the press stud fittings too.
    If I were buying again, I would go original equipment.
    Started my job at the bottom and liked it

    Another vote for OEM mats.
    Perfect fit and a proper retention system.
    Don't know why more folks dont stick with them.
