DO NOT PUT UNSECURED MATS ON TOP OF THE CARPET MATS! Does anyone not remember the recalls of 2010 for Toyota? This was the main culprit to the problems. Trust me, you are not alone in this, I still see it every day in the service department and customers that have their cars appraised. How quickly people forget.....
I would wait for WeatherTech or Husky Liners etc to make a set of All Weather Mats for our cars. Ever since the recalls, Toyota's rubber mats pretty much suck. They no longer have the nice, deep lip that contains all the slop. They no longer have that nice deep lip because they need to do what they can to protect people from themselves, by stacking floor mats. The old design of their mats had about 3/4 - 1" deep lip all around the mat to contain the slop, which was also the reason they trapped gas pedals when they slid under the gas pedal. The gas pedal would become trapped at WOT and sent the driver's into a panic that they forgot how to operate the car and turn it off, slam on the brakes, or throw it in neutral. Most, if not all of the issues were with Autos because if someone ran into an issue with a manual, just depress the clutch.
