Dash Mats?

Ok I got a cheap dash mat that I'm going to get rid of for a nicer one, because the one I have looks like carpet. The thing is, is that I held it on with what came with it, velcro. 2 years in the AZ sun is unforgiving to the glue and I'm not sure if Goof Off will hurt the dash?

Also is there any better way to hold these things to the dash instead? The glue got so hot that it started running down the dash on the front...

Yeah I've noticed the not cheap ones seem to hold in place in other cars, wasn't sure about rangers though.

Sweet. I'll order the new one tomorrow.
