Mat-Loc??? What is this? How do I use it?
So, when we brought home our new MINI, we found 4 of these in the glovebox (the plastic doobers, not the quarters! 
):
They're black plastic, labeled RACEMARK MAT-LOC, so I can only imagine they're intended to help secure the floor mats. This would be great, since my mat has a tendency to crawl up and interfere with the gas and clutch pedals, but there's a threaded screw on the bottom side, and I can't see anything under the floor mat to screw into! HELP!

I have rubber mats. My car came with "doobers," but I dont use them. The rubbers dont move!

On our floormats there are 4 large Velcro -like black circles on the underside at the rear edge. These hook to the doobers ala a velcro-like attraction. Screw the doobers into the existing carpet to line up with those black circles at the rear of each mat. They just self thread into the carpet as you screw them in with a large screwdriver. The mats will no longer slip.
