I ordered a full set of X-Acts for my '16 XL. Front row is a no-brainer; they fit perfect and they look good. 2nd row...not so much. I posted in the other thread that I didn't like how the 2nd row bubbles up in the middle. I was concerned about foot traffic (my kids) passing between the rows. I returned the 2nd/3rd row X-Acts and replaced them with the Weathertech 1-piece. Fit is great, and the Cocoa color is a great match for the Cocoa/Dark Atmosphere interior.

Looks good NJ16Yukon. I shy'd away from the Weatherbeater brand because a read on a few threads here that the WeatherTech is prone to curling at the edges. I guess its sort of a "pick your poison" scenario. Either an ill-fitting mat or a mat with curled edges....

Agreed. I have Weathertechs in my Durango, and some of the edges curled in the 2nd row. I might try some strategically-placed velcro tape for the Yukon. The one place I could see them curling is at the door sill.

My xacts lay flat. Please excuse the mess from skiing last weekend! da360d6e793f0afb827c8b3b19562982.jpg

Maybe its a "bench seat" vs. "captain chairs" kinda thing with the 2nd row X-Acts.

Cardude-they are the exaxt same pattern as my Husky weatherbeaters, and look like they lay nice and flat. I always thought the xact contour versions were a totally different tread and more "rubbery" than plastic as the weatherbeaters feel.

They are. Xact are soft rubber instead of hard plastic which I very much prefer. They have some grip to them too.

What I mean was that maybe they mixed up some 'bench seat' mats with some 'bucket seat' mats...if there is a difference between the two maybe that's it.

Got ya, I see. My wife has the weatherbeater Husky in her traverse and the 2nd row fit is not as good as it should be, although the front and cargo sections are perfect. She doesn't care but I couldn't live with it in mine. I don't care for the way they don't flatten out in a couple of areas. My back seat weatherbeaters are perfect in my pickup

I started a new thread about Maxliners before I saw this one existed. I bought them for my 16 Denali and have pix posted. Should show up in a search rather than me cross posting
