Wasn't able to find it answered elsewhere- this happens to both the passenger and driver sides of my car. Carpet is not secured at the side closest to the door, and separates out away from the plastic sill cover. Can be tucked back in, but simply pulls right back out over time with foot pressure and usage in the footwell . This occurs regardless of the type of mats used for driver and passenger.
Seems to be a design issue affecting multiple iterations of the body style.
For those who have also come across this, what was your fix? Thanks
