A device for fastening a vehicle floor cover (2304) to carpeting in a vehicle foot well includes a body with a first and second face. A fastener, sized to be received into a grommet, extends from the second face. A retention grommet has a bottom grommet (2306) and a top grommet (2308). A floor cover retention flange (2406) extends radially outwardly from an outer sidewall (2402) of the bottom grommet. The outer sidewall extends upwardly from the retention flange to a hinge plane (2407) of the bottom grommet. Plural fingers (2408) are disposed around the bottom grommet axis (X) so as to be angularly spaced from each other and an inner surface (2502) of the outer sidewall. An upper end (2414) of each finger is joined to the outer sidewall at the hinge plane. Near a free, downwardly displaced end (2412) of each finger, a retention bead (2416) is formed to have an upwardly and radially outwardly inclined surface (2422). This surface engages a retention post (2302) of any of several vehicle foot well affixation devices (3102).
