And if you have done that, did it still work after? or did ripping it off break it?

Yep I've managed to to this successfully many times over the years .. ... It's just a case of slow and easy , don't bend too much and don't pull on the wire connection part . Once they're off they can be reused easily -- just don't forget and put the sticky side down on the carpet :)

I tried this with a spatula and some Goo Gone. It went kinda ok ? No bending and almost no pulling, Still works (the most important)
I would suggest just never gluing them, ever.

Guys this thread is from 2010.

Old thread but the smart move is placing foil tape on the mat (glue to glue) to make it always movable.
