Anyone found a hack to stop WeatherTech liner sides from falling in?

[Big Mama]

Wife’s RAV4 came with them. The sides of each front mat are folding over. My hacks have all failed.

I don't know of one and I contacted WeatherTech about this problem, months back, and their answer was the same dribble of high quality and strive for the best....blahh blahh.

I would just buy Husky liners. I have some in my 2002 and they work great.

@PNW VietVet
Can you post some pics of the 02, I've been wanting to get me some but can't find what they look like installed.

Don't mean to jack up your thread @Big Mama

Right now with the fires all around the county and the smoke and the ash, I am not even posting pics of my new to me 2005 Z71. I did order the set from Amazon this morning for the new rig.

I ordered these: Front: https://www.amazon.com/Husky-Liners...words=husky+liner+51031&qid=1599689825&sr=8-2

Rear: https://www.amazon.com/Husky-Heavy-...words=husky+liner+52021&qid=1599689876&sr=8-6

I never want the ones that curl up around the edges because eventually they flap over and my foot catches.

I will post pics of the new ones in the 2005 Z71 when I get them in a week or so. They are the same as the ones in the 2002. Like I stated, is crazy around here and just to get outside and take pics the ash is everywhere and gets inside the vehicle when I open the door. I promise to take and post the pics. It will happen because it is on a reminder Post It note at my computer.

no worries we’re on the same team.

Someone posted about this awhile ago. The company told them to turn them inside out and let them sit in the sun for a few hours. Then flip them right side and install.

What hack jobs did you do to your mats?

I’m considering putting Velcro on the backsides of the mats in a few places and seeing if that works.

This is the first vehicle I’ve had the issue with them folding over.

Both my wife’s Saturn Aura has had a set in there for years now. My totaled Buick Regal GS had it in there with no issues there. The 03 Pickemuptruk has a set in there with no issues.

I think they got sloppy in their engineering efforts and or they are thinner material from the other ones.

I’ve tried BIG Velcro, heat gun, aluminum tape to the back sides. Never buy them again.

***** that shoots my idea on the Velcro. Wait a minute, “joking”. Rivet gun the bastards to the floor! Some silicone around the rivets boom not moving anymore!
