Having issues with the passenger floor mat folding over all the time, anyone else ?

yes, same here. Stock 20th anniversary mats, passenger mat wont stay down against the firewall.

Hmmm bloody annoying isn’t it

I was thinking about cutting knobs under the mat and putting a Velcro adhesive piece. I have done over 1500 km with a passenger feet's on the mat so if it was going to resolve itself, it would have by now....

I thought about Velcro too, but I was wondering if it might not be strong enough once someone’s feet start moving about.

I have the GT floor mats which have not moved since I bought the car.

Plus I can't even work out how to remove them.

Hmmm interesting, my floor mats only have 2 clips holding them in place, unfortunately the clips are closest to the seat end of the mats, not the end that keeps falling down.

(duplicate post?) 22K+ miles, plenty of front seat passengers, no issue. I'll take a closer look at it today.

Easy fix

I haven't used my OE carpet mats since last December. Replaced them with the OE rubberized "Stinger" mats. Lovely! But, I hadn't noticed any curling anywhere with the carpet mats either. I have them bagged in the shed sitting on top of my A/S tires and OE GT rims.

Suggest that you take them out and roll them tightly forward and leave them that way for a few days, then put them/it back in. The forward roll should keep them from curling. Repeat as necessary. Should correct sooner or later.

Removal is easy but a bit fiddly until you've done it a couple of times: you slide your fingers under the mat and pry up on the retaining hooks.

Mine do the same thing every time I get into the boost. 20Th Anniversary mats also.

I wonder if the GT mats are different some how, they didn’t have those ones when I bought mine, you’d think that they would be identical except that yours have GT embroidered in them

I reckon I might invest in a clip

Could be worth a shot

I love my Matmetrix mats, not sure if you’d be able to get them down there but I’m sure there are some other options available

Hi, Living in Australia, I,ve had the GT for 12 months...great car! About 3 months in my mats the same as your picture folded. I heavy velcroed the top of the Mat. The velcro stuck to the car carpet but wouldn't hold the mat. Is it a return to Kia issue or do I look for after market maps?

I ended up fixing mine with a tie strap, poked a tiny slit through the floor mat, then zip tied it to a spot under the glove box, good as gold.
