Weathertech 3D Floor Mats

[Sarah_279]

I did a search for these but nothing came up. I'm not sure if they're a new product in the WeatherTech line up, (does anyone know?) but they're a little different than the traditional Floor Liners. Sorry if this is a redundant post, I've not heard of them before .... maybe they're old news and I'm late to the party?

WeatherTech says they're "rubber like" with a "tactile feel."

I know some people don't care for the regular Floor Liners as they can feel a little slippery underfoot. And I've seen a few people say the Floor Liners curl, however I've never had that problem with the past ones I've had. Apparently WeatherTech was listening to those complaints and created these. I wouldn't say they have the pliability of a regular rubber floor mat, but they are "softer" feeling than the Floor Liners and they do seem to clean up just as nice. They don't make that loud plastic-y sound if you scrape your boot on them. The logo is embossed in a subtle way. Full sill coverage if you're into that (I am) but you can trim it. The fitment is on point. Overall, I like 'em.

They don't seem to offer these "3D" liners for the 2nd row as of yet.

lots of complaints of the weathertechs curling, I didn't listen and bought some and sure as a bear shit's in the woods they curled in no time, bought some other brand (can't remember the name) they just slid all over, they were cheap and I tossed them in the garbage, bought the husky weatherbeaters and couldn't be happier. If the weathertechs didn't curl up they would probably be fine they def need a re-design for these trucks anyway.

I get what you're saying about the curling. Although it never happened to me (I had the Floor Liners in 3 previous vehicles) I've heard tell of it from several people. This 3D product is supposed to resist curling as per their website. (the 3D mats are made from an advanced TPE compound, the Floor Liners are made from different stuff. Apparently... ) But I guess time will tell.

If these do curl on me, I'll definitely be reaching out to their customer service department for a replacement or refund. For what they charge for these, with normal use they should last a damn lifetime!

Weathertech's service department is actually pretty decent. I had purchased one of their pet seat covers awhile back and it ripped before my dog even sat on it. They sent me a new one no questions asked and told me to keep the ripped one. (I sewed it back together and now I have 2)

Maybe it's the California heat that made them curl, I even tried cutting the curled part off but it just kind of defeated the purpose of having them water and dirt would just go thru where I trimmed them off, just gave up on them at that point, Hopefully this new design will work better for you, time will tell.

I just checked mine after reading this, they have been stored since last winter, they are flat and no curling

Which part of the floor mats are curling? I own weathertechs and have the front driver/passenger and the one piece floor mat for the back passenger area. I have not experienced any heat related curling here in Texas on the floor mats but the back passenger doors do close on the corners of the rear floor mats and have caused them to fold over. I typically don't read the posts on floor mats so this is new info to me. I've had my weathertechs for 2 years now with no heat related effects. Not sure if they have changed the material in the mats? Just curious.

They tend to curl down from the high point at the bottom left kick panel area on the drivers side and the the high point on the right passenger kick panel
I circled the area's in the following photo



***The Husky weatherbeaters have a very similar Design but instead of cresting like the weathertecs do they are more sleek against the kick panel and have a stiffer lip edge so they do not curl at all.

My WeatherTech's curled in exactly the same place.

Someone riding in the backseat over the weekend (a human, not my usual canine passenger) somehow folded the edge my 2nd row floor liner (I assume with their foot getting in?) and like, jammed it in the door when they closed it... causing a permanent creased fold in the liner. I'm hoping it will straighten out ... but I don't think it will. (sigh lol)

you can try taking a blow dryer and heat it up real good then bend it back to how it was, that should fix it
a heat gun will work to just don't get too close

Great idea, thank you! About 20 seconds with the heat gun and it's almost 100% better! It was really crinkled up too.
Thanks again!

I was concerned about the traditional weathertechs being slippery when wet and feeling a little too stiff and plasticy, so I went with the Husky liners up front, and I like them so far.

In the back, Husky sells a two piece liner for captain chair second row vehicles, but together both pieces were over $200. So I took a gamble on the generic Amazon "Maxliner" one piece liner for the 2nd and 3rd rows for $80 total, and I have to say it is pretty good. Fit could be a little better, but not enough to make me want to spend an extra $120+.

I had the weathertech in my Yukon and threw them out after a year and half. It kept curling and eventually got annoying.

I then purchased the maxliner to try those out. Got them mid 2018, the floor mats seemed sturdy at the time. Now in November 2019 the floor mats are breaking down.

The driver floormat has cracked in several places. The rear format has cracked where the seat base of the captain chair.

A few months ago i contacted customer service about warranty they emailed me back asking for pictures and invoice. The normal things they ask for. I finally got around to it and sent them all the info.

Their response was I did not purchase the product at full price of $179.99 and that’s why they can’t honer the Lifetime warranty even tho it was sold and shipped by amazon. Currently the price is $161. I purchased it at $150.

If you plan on buying these make sure you pay what the retail value is. You will get denied warrant as I did. I wouldn’t recommend these to anyone.

I’m happy with my GM rubber all weather mats. I bought them with my 16 Suburban and have moved them to my new Suburban each time. The mats have approx 36,000 mile on them and show minimal wear, if any.

I have been hearing more and more where companies are not honoring warranties on stuff bought from Amazon as too many black-market knockoff items are finding their way onto Amazon and Amazon is not doing a very good job of policing for knock-offs that are being passed off as the real deal.

If you go to WeatherTech's website and read their Limited Lifetime Warranty, it says you need to go to the reseller for your warranty claim unless you bought directly from WeatherTech. Might have better luck, albeit minimal, trying to go through Amazon's customer service.

I agree and I tried talking with amazon several times and no luck.

I even tried telling people on the review and amazon didn’t publish it. Amazon said that the review is against their policy. That I was supposed to talk about the product only and when I mentioned the company’s warranty issue it was against policy.

I will try the husky now. Hopefully they last a few years. Thanks.

I bought the WT 3D front mats and they are much better than the WT floor liners and also have coverage under the gas pedal that the OEM's don't have!
