| Sep 9, 2015 at 2:50 | comment | added | Bobson | You'll want to avoid using any sort of permanent attachment (like glue), in case you change cars. But something semi-permanent that can be removed (like the anchors @JamieHanrahan suggested) are good. | |

Or even a sheet of board more than about 1" thick cut to the right size to fill the gap between the wheels and the wall. | |

| Sep 2, 2015 at 8:35 | comment | added | Jamie Hanrahan | Yep. I used a masonry bit and some plastic "anchors" to let me screw one of these to the floor. No more slipping. | |

Updated the answer to include a method to prevent slippage.
