GMC weather mats/cargo liner install ...

[like2detail]

I am also extremely disappointed with the mats. I love the look of the OEM carpet mats and don't care about the protection of all weather mats but the 2nd row mats will not stay put and are always stuffed up under the driver and passenger seats. So I picked up the OEM liners. I have no idea why they made them in multiple pieces. Stupid. They are always popping apart. I'm trying to epoxy the third row together now but I'm sure it's not going to work. The cargo liner is a joke. I worked for Toyota for 20+ years. 2015 Highlander had a similar cargo mat that attached to the 3rd row seat and it worked flawlessly. Never came off. Better velcro. Better overall design. No sliding pieces that would cause the mat to rip off the seat back if there happened to be weight on the cargo mat. Very disappointed overall with the floor mat choices.

I took mine out of my 2021 Tahoe High Country and returned them to my dealer for a full refund and bought a different brand. Now I’m satisfied.

I bought the heaviest Lloyd’s lux mats, along with a husky third row liner. Sorry they’re a little dirty, but they are doing their jobs. These heavy carpet mats stay in place, are rubber backed, and very thick. Nothing moves or squirrels around. Easy shop vac to clean….

Did you buy something with similar design that can be liner when third row is up and down? I am putting 3rd row up and down a lot and liked the way this worked when I first got them.

Does your husky liner go up and down with the 3rd row seat? I love husky mats and the GMC liner is a joke, but I have my seats going up and down All the time.

No, but my 3rd row stays down 98% of the time. I bought a 3rd row Heavy carpet mat also from Lloyds and leave it in underneath the husky.
If I think we are going to need the 3rd row { Usually always know ahead} I just chuck the Husky in the garage for the trip and we are still covered.

I stopped by the parts department at my dealer Saturday to complain about the mats. The guy working asked me if i had the interior protection applied, which I did. He said that he has seen that people with any sort of interior protection are having hard time getting Velcro to work.

That's baloney ! If I DID have the GM mats, I would put Snaps on them if it was me. I mentioned this months ago but not sure if anyone actually did it. It would solve the problem hands down....

Interesting, never seen this. I wonder if it's easy to clean.

I just ordered the liners (https://www.canvasback.com/gmc-yukon-cargo-liners-2021.html) and will report back after some long road trips. I'm pretty excited to get these, as I didn't like the OEM option and this looks/is custom.

I agree! I tried glue and 3M double sided tape; no-go. So I then drilled a hole in the 3rd row mats and connected them with black zip ties. Works well, stays attached and "somewhat" blends in.

Would you mind posting a picture of what you did?

I just made sure they were aligned perfect, drilled the holes and installed the zip tie. Stays together great.

Thanks for sharing. I was thinking you had done this for the cargo area and the mats that don’t stay attached to back of the 3rd row. I do have same issue in third row so will do this as well. I am going to look this weekend and see if anything could be done for cargo area and possibly attaching to the bars in the headrest. Need to see how that would work though with seats going up and down.

Here's my setup with the Husky Liners for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd rows with the GM Liner in the cargo area. I added some double sided carpet tape to hold it a little better in place but I'm still not satisfied with the result.

What do you have for entertainment setup?

I had 4 kids in the Yukon for a hockey road trip yesterday and the 3rd row mats were everywhere. Performed the zip tie mod this am, FANTASTIC idea. Just drilled two small holes for each zip tie and made sure they were in a spot to get through both mats. Thanks!

I am going to do the zip tie for the 3rd row today. I did drill small holes in the cargo liner that attaches to the back of the 3rd row and put zip ties around the headrest. I am going to get some more Velcro and hope that between the two of those it will work well. It works with zip ties on small seat but the corner of the bigger one will still fall off because I didn’t have zip tie on the right edge given distance from headrest. Not perfect but better than constantly falling off.

Your welcome and yours looks great! I wish I would have made my holes closer together like yours, looks cleaner. I'm thinking about putting one in the second row as well. The mats like to come apart just a little at the center console.

Looking fwd to your feed back when you get these in

Just installed my Canvasback 2 days ago. It looks really good, but I thought it was going to attach differently (I didn't read the statement below). From watching the install video, I assumed it would attach with the velcro to the factory carpet. However, it attaches via self-adhesive velcro strips. I see this being an issue down the road with hot interior temps, etc. It does look factory (will add pics later) and should hold up well for my purpose. The light weight should help with it staying attached to the seat backs. I'll report back after some long road trips.

"NOTE: Regular Velcro hook does not grab the carpet in the car. We send out self-adhesive loop Velcro to act as good carpeting. When you apply the loop Velcro, really press firmly into the carpeting of your car so it has a nice stick (it won't hurt the carpet if you pull it up). The back of the 2nd seats are also covered. Please notate in drop down if you have the bench or captains 2nd seats."

Thank you for the recommendation about snaps, that worked perfectly.
