Lloyds Mats
I am new here to posting here, but have been lurking for some time.
I bought a set of Lloyd mats for my car, but find that they do not stay attached to the clips supplied by Lloyd. Has anyone experienced this problem and have a solution. I might glue Velcro onto the back of the Lloyd mats, so they attach like the Porsche factory mats. Has anyone tried this? Lou

Yes, Velcro works well in this way with Lloyd mats. Used this fix on the wife's BMW and it is a fine solution to the problem you described.

What do you glue the Velcro on with? I couldn't find a glue that would hold very well to the mat's backing.

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!

I put the velcro in place a few days ago. I bought sew-on velcro that is 1 1/2" wide and cut a strip 3" long. I marked the location of the factory floor mounted velcro, on the back of the mat with a sharpie. I glued the velcro to the Lloyd mat using 5 minute epoxy. It is so much better than the junk clips supplied by Lloyd, the floor mat has not moved.

I used trim screws and washers to hold the velcro in place for the mats and have had no other problems.
