Bed Mat for Gen4 - Removing and reinstalling Bed Bolts

I purchased the "TripleAliners Truck Bed Mat" in picture #2 for my 4th gen. I would like to fasten it down by removing the bed bolts and reinstalling it though the divots for a cleaner and more secure install. Atleast the two up-front closest to the cab and the rope tie-downs near the tailgate.

Its only 2-3mm thick and compresses easily, so I don't anticipate that I'll need longer bolts. I plan on reinstalling the bolts with Loctite blue. (I've read some forums that say that Loctite was used on these bolts from he factory).

Anyone have any recommendations before I go ahead?

EDIT: The hive-mind has come to a decision. I will not fasten the mat down with even one bed bolt.

Im looking for products and tips for maintaining my katskin leather seats. I'm trying to up my game from armour all and diluted dish soap.

What is the best product for conditioning these seats?
I read that they add a protective top coat during production... I'm worried that products I may have used in the past could have degraded this. Can I reapply some kind of UV/water protector?
This sub seems to swear by 303 aerospace. Can this be used on my seats (alone, or in combination with other products)?
