Positive Retention Floor Mat; To Install Floor Mats; Rear Liftgate - Ford 1999 Explorer Owner's Manual

POSITIVE RETENTION FLOOR MAT

To install floor mats:

1. Move the driver's seat to the most rearward position
2. Position the driver's side floor mat with the rear of the mat against left
(outboard) front edge of seat track mounting bracket.
3. Use a screwdriver to screw locator post into vehicle carpeting. Exert
pressure while turning to pierce the carpeting.
When installed properly, the locator will not screw down tightly, but will
rotate freely.
Use only Ford original Equipment floor mats. Do not stack multiple floor
mats over the Ford original equipment floor mats as they are not
positively retained.
