WeatherTech Floor Mat Issues....

[MelloYello95]

Anyone else having issues with their second row WeatherTech mat? Ours seems almost too wide for the rear. When the rear doors close, they push the mat up. Now the mat is curled up on the ends and it trips up the rear passengers. It’s also rubbing on the rear doors near the speaker.

This is the main reason why I won't use WT for floor mats. Their rigid plastics won't lay down and if you start to catch edges, it gets worse. I've had them once, but not again... You want something like Husky's.... a true rubber mat that lays down and conforms. Personally I'm going to stick with GM heavy carpet mats for row 1 & 2 and a Husky X Act for the 3rd row. I still haven't decided what's best for the cargo area, we plan on leaving the 3rd Row up 90% of the time and don't like the squirrelly GM flat cargo area mats. May wait till husky come out with cargo mat as what you need is a heavy rubber mat that lays down and won't let contents slide around like WT.....

a heat gun and then throw some weight where its curling while it cools should help it lay back down.

The GM liners fit like a glove.

Huh- you know, I have that exact same issue!

Contact WeatherTech. Ours is gradually getting worse. Going to get our money back and order a GM mat.

Following this thread to share my experience and see what others come up with...21 Yukon SLT with captain chairs. Initially got the GM floor mats throughout.

GM Fronts and 2nd row are great.

3rd row GM don’t fit and multiple pieces that constantly break apart. I got the WT 3rd row - a single piece that seems to be better and lines up fine with the GM 2nd row through the captains chairs.

Cargo area is my biggest issue. I’m ditching the GM mats that attached by Velcro to the back of the 3rd row seat. Didn’t stay attached despite adding Velcro. And “tails” that extended down caused more mat slippage. I ended up ordering PrecisionFit Neoprene seat covers - just for 3rd row. Figure it will protect seat fronts from kids and back of seats from the dog. Not a cheap solution though.

The GM cargo mat was awful, slipped all over. WT is a better fit but also slides. I would like something more ‘rubbery’. Maybe the Husky mats suggested above?

Look up SmartLiner, they're a better price and fit like a glove.

DejaVu! We (I) went over this a few months back on a separate thread. If you just bought them take them back to the store in which you bought them. If not contact the manufacturer straightaway and explain the problem. If their solutions don't work then ask for a refund. I have found that the problems come from the way they are boxed, stored & shipped. They product lays in an incorrect way and over time the product attains that misshaped shape. It's hard to get out, but not impossible. I used a heat gun with some well placed velcro tape to get them to keep their shape which eventually they do. But if they are new then by all means take them back. They should lay flat as advertised with no adjusts minor or otherwise. Aloha!!

Hard to justify the cost of these mats when they are terrible at best. I haven’t tried any of the GM mats yet, but the second row has to better than WT. Our second row WT is getting worse. They need a design change. Our WT cargo mat has been ok. It slides around, mainly slides back towards the lift gate. Not impressed with it either. Maybe I should have ordered Husky.

I don't believe that is the issue with our 2nd row. It arrived fine and it initially laid flat in the rear. It is made too wide for the rear. When both rear doors shut, the mat does not lay under the rear door panel trim. It gets pushed up on both sides. So we can can get it to lay flat but as soon as you close both doors, the door panels push the mat edges up again. Its a terrible fit.

Are you sure you got the right mat for your vehicle? When I got mine I was specifically asked for the make/model/type of Yukon and to make sure the WeatherTech Rep asked me if I had a transmission hump running down the small length of the back flooring. Seems the Yukon SLE model doesn't have the hump, but other models do. So since mine didn't have the "Hump" he knew I had the right mat for my vehicle. The mats are laser measured and cut for each individual model of vehicle, so it's possible that you got, for whatever reason, the wrong mat for your vehicle. Get the ID tag off the drivers door, call them and reconfirm that you have the correct mat. I love mine and I know they are not everyone's cup of tea, but they are a quality product and they want to make sure that you have purchased the correct mat for your vehicle. Hope that helps. Aloha!

P.S. They also give tips on installing some of the more oddly shaped mats.

There are only so many ways to order and place a floor mat in a vehicle.

The floor pans are the same for all models of the Yukon for 2021. With this being a new model year, the design is not perfect. The part number on the bottom of the mat has already been verified with WT. We had WT mats on our 11' and 03', and the design was great. Unfortunately, the design for 2021 is not as great. Thanks for your post, always wanted to visit Hawaii. Aloha!

guess ill stay away from Weathertech for my new Tahoe, i wish i could find the MAXpider mats. might end up going Husky

 

[Michael Lewis]

I’d love Husky mats if they made them to match my interior :/

 

[RST Dana]

Had weather tech. After the curling and multiple attempts to correct the issue, I went with Husky. Worlds better.

We just got our 2022 Tahoe, ordered the Chevy liners when we picked it up 3 weeks ago, and were told that the liners were in stock. Now we're being told, they've been back ordered. We've used WeatherTech for years, and love them. Recently a lot of the reviews are not good for the 2021s/22s.

Which liners would you suggest going with?

 

[R32driver]

Our weathertech 2nd row are all curled up too. Fronts are great, cargo area is great, 2nd row is terrible and I never see the 3rd row so can't comment on them. If been thinking about hitting the 2nd row with a heatgun to see if that would make the edges lay flat

 

[RST Dana]

Husky all the way! Great customer interaction too.

 

[Dustindu4]

My 2017 yukon weathertech floor mats did that. That will never get better. I have the GMC floor liners for rows 1-3 on my 2022 and they fit and look amazing!
