Floor mats?

The stock floor mats in my base cooper are pretty intolerable. They're secured by weak velcro circles at the back corners that have long since lost their ability to hold things in place so I'm constantly pulling the mat back away from the pedals. I've had good luck with WeatherTech stuff in the past, but they're kind of expensive.

Can anybody recommend any other aftermarket mat suppliers? I do like the rubberized ones, it makes things dead simple to clean.

Are the Cocomats "sticky" like the rubber WeatherTechs? I want a piece for the rear cargo area to keep items from sliding around quite so easily.

I put a full set of weathertech in my my 07 about a week ago, and with the disgusting Chicago slush they have been worth every penny. You can get the "Mini" branded boot liner, which is made by weathertech, for about $35 cheaper on amazon.

Cocomats. The rubber is so thick and heavy they don't move a millimeter. And you don't have to vacuum them either, maybe wipe 'em off now and then. Plus the 2 color pattern matches any interior. I had a set for 6 years in my 2007 MCS and another one for my R58 JCW. Love 'em. The factory carpeted mats are worthless, I paid $100 for a set and it was a joke.

The Velcro was a good ideal for holding the mats,but the screws on the pads just eventually pull out of the carpet and insulation.

No they really aren't "sticky" more like really durable carpet. We do offer the Weathertech boot mats.

I'm probably eventually going with the classic cocomat look....colors are awesome! They wear like iron and are not rubbery....I really do not like the feel of the MINI rubber mat when shifting....if you have an auto this won't be an issue but clutch movement with my left foot dragging on the rubber mat was a real issue for me, so I have the stock black carpet mats in my all black interior & I am perfectly happy with them...in fact I have two sets of mats. I do not agree the stock mats are crap....just take care of them & they'll be fine! Weathertech have been in my Jeeps & Bimmers for years & I love them but sadly Weathertech has limited color options these days...they used to have a black mat with red lining around the raised edge...they should have never stopped making that mat!

Weathertech has the black, gray, and tan version as of right now. The best thing about them is they hold the dirt in actual mat , then you just pull them out and hose them off. Thats what i like about them.
