I've got those snaps on my carpets.  they are a bit fiddly to get
situated, but hold the carpet as well as anything else, and they
adhere to the car and the carpet a whole lot better than most
sticky-back products.

A blinding flash of the obvious, Peter. Knowing how so many aspire to
originality the clips you describe are ideal. I kept my mouth shut as I've
opened it too wide in the past:)

Moss number is 226-338 for the veltex ring & spike, 226-800 for an example
of the male snap; just for reference, not being pushy.

Why not used what is designed for the purpose, veltex snaps?=20

They are designed to snap to a male snap, as used to hold a tonneau =
down.  They are a two piece fastener, one piece goes through the top of =
the carpet, has spikes to hold to the second piece on the bottom that =
forms the female half.  The top half becomes invisible when the carpet =
is brushed over/around it.  I use these in my TR6 at the head of the =
floor carped on the firewall.  Work great, hold fast, easy to snap on =
and off.

Moss number is 226-338 for the veltex ring & spike, 226-800 for an =
example of the male snap; just for reference, not being pushy.
