   I have aftermarket mats on top of the OEM mats in my car.   
      
   What I did was to use a hole punch (like the ones used to punch leather) to   
   make a 1/4" hole in the aftermarket mats. This hole engages the OEM mat   
   hook. Luckily for me, the hook accommodates both mats at once.   
      
   I tried to do this in my wife's Tercel, but the mat hook is too shallow to   
   grab both sets of mats.
