Let's talk about floor mats

[chevync]

I have a 03 escalade, I purchased a set of weather tech floor liner's. After a few months the one on the driver's side started curling. I tried to use a heat gun to straighten it out with no luck. So I called the company I bought them from. Weather Tech sent me out a new set, I put them in, a few weeks later the one on the driver's side started doing the same thing. Now I'm looking for a good set, custom cut for my escalade. What do you have? Why do you like them?

The set of WeatherTechs that I had in my ‘08 curled the same way. A lot of people here speak highly of Husky floor mats.

Are the Husky thicker than weather tech?

They have different lines of floor mats. The Husky Weatherbeaters appears to be thicker but their classic and X-Act lines seem to be similar in thickness as the Weathertech stuff.

I have to say that I have not had them so I am only going off what folks have said about them here and what I have seen at different websites.

Has anyone tried the diamond leather floor mats?

I know I read a post where someone had tried those and they didn't hold up. Can't remember who it was...

In this pic it looks like if the mat was not curled over the flap would actually cover over where you would pull the hood release lever. Is that the case?

Yep. You’re seeing it correctly.

Well, that would be a pain in the patootee. I would not like or buy that design anyway.

My new weathertech's are the same way.I also called and they sent me another front pair,and the drivers side started warping in a few days without driving the vehicle anywhere-JUNK.I also tried a heat gun and bent them the other way pretty good still warped again in no time.

I think it was @wendal.

 

[HiHoeSilver]

I am very happy with my Rugged Ridge mats.

It was I. However, I will state that we have a set in my wife's Infiniti JX35 (now QX60), and her set has held up very well. The ones I got for my Yukon were crap though. I know that there are several producers of the custom mats, and it's likely dependant on the manufacturer...

I have the Husky front, 2nd and 3rd row in my 15 Yukon. Really like them - had them in for 4+ years, still lay flat and can't tell they have any wear (in spite of my 10 year old and dog) - would buy them again in a heart beat - even now looking at buying the cargo area mat from Husky

That's really weird...I've had those exact Weathertech mats in a Yukon, Escalade, Tahoe and currently in two Lexus GX 460's and never, ever had any problems. I know that one poster got a replacement, but I'm thinking if you sent them a picture and showed them and asked if there's a problem with a particular production run that they will likely do something for you.

Sucks that you haven’t had any luck with yours especially after they sent you a replacement set.

I have them in my wife’s Aura, my Regal and my ole Silverado. Never had an issue.

I hope the new set that my wife and son got for me for Christmas don’t do this.

I just ordered a full set of husky liners for mine. The Rear Cargo/Third Row is here in still waiting on the Front and 2nd Row to come in, they said it should be here Thursday. I’ve had them in my Z71 and loved them. I had no carpet exposed in “high traffic” areas. It really saved the interior of the truck especially after duck hunting and work. They are one of the first things I get when I get a new vehicle, definitely money well spent.

I put Cabela’s by Weather Tech in the front, 2nd row and cargo areas of my 2005. The front ones especially curled badly not long after I installed them. I’ve tried everything to make them lie flat but they always curl up again soon thereafter. I never thought of calling the manufacturer or Cabelas about them. I would not buy another set of Weather Techs.

I’d like to put some, maybe Husky’s in my 2019. The OEM Z-71 mats look nice but are quite small and leave lots of exposed carpet.

Covey - how does the Husky cargo fit? Does it slide around on the carpet? or are things going to slide around on top of the mat?
I am thinking of completing my full set and need to go to my CFO/wife - Thx

so there’s two ways you can do it. One is cut the slot completely out or do what I did and cut it all but the forward facing part and weave it through. I think it looks a lot cleaner. Nope they have little spikes on the bottom and stay completely put no moving at all. As for stuff sliding it all depends really, a screwdriver in my rear floorboard does not. They are money well spent for sure, I have a very minimal carpet showing and love it. I wish they made a runner for where you go between the 2nd and 3rd row..
