    Hi,

    Does anyone have any extra driver floor mat retaining clips?
    I'm referring to the aftermarket invention that helped with this issue.
    My driver side floor mat moves quiet a bit while I'm driving.

    Or, know where to buy them?
    (I emailed Birdman today to see as well)

    Thank you.
    Sincerely,

    Mike

    I have the Birdman clips and they are the most tenacious, gnarly things in the world.

    That's been great over these last 3 years until I wanted to remove my floor mats. I had to back off the bolts on my seats to pull the Birdman clips since I couldn't get them off of the mats themselves.

    As an alternative, I've seen people loop a piece of wire around the seat rail somehow and then run the wire through the edge of the mat. I like this solution better. I haven't put my aftermarket mats back in yet (I had them out for Concorso Italiano judging) and am going to fiddle with wire or maybe a D-ring/clip solution.

    The Birdman clips are great; just over-the-top.

    If I need to I think a well thought out placement of plastic cable tie
    solution with a grommet would do the trick for us.

    Or cut out section from a hanger with clips as used to hang-up
    dress pants. Sounds weird, but could prove to work.

    It would mean a small hole in the aftermarket mat, but in this case
    safety wins.

    Mike,

    We will be adding the ones used on 355's to our online store any day now. We have them in stock but have not had a chance to put them on the site.

    My best,

    Dave
