Good question on how to get the Velcro to stick.

I did not use any kind of glue. I used Velcro brand Industrial Strength tape. I think I got it at Home Depot. It comes as a 4 foot roll of two halves of Velcro tape stuck together with the outside parts covered with super sticky adhesive covered with a film that you can remove. You just cut the tape to the desired size, peel off the backing film on one side and stick it onto the back of the Lloyd mat, then peel off the film on the remaining side, carefully position the floor mat with the Velcro halves already affixed over the floor carpeting, and carefully push the mat into place. Viola! The mat sticks to the floor. If you ever want to remove it, you just pull up (carefully, it takes a lot of force) on the mat and one half of the Velcro stays on the mat and the other half on the carpeting. Works just like the factory setup. I used two pieces of the Velcro on each mat, positioned in about the same places that the factory uses with the original mats.

Good luck!
