Weathertech observation

[arejayeye]

I just received my weathertech floor liners for the front and 2nd row of my 07 yukon. I am very impressed with the front set but the 2nd row floor liner is noticeably flimsier than the front. Has anyone else noticed this?

 

[Goodinblack]

Yes.

The thing is though that....... at worst....... these things are still the best.

I bought my 3rd row for the Suburban for like a 100.00. I immediately thought that these things are flimsy and NOT worth what they charge for them........

However when I found my sets in CraigsList I instantly bought them.

Now I have 2 Full sets in the Yukon XL and the Suburban. Cheap.

I don't understand why weathertech just doesn't use the same material/construction used in the front set!

 

[Goodinblack]

It is. Just thinner.

 

[arejayeye]

I just finished speaking with weathertech about this. I was told that the floor liners for the 2nd row are made different than the front liners for a reason. She said she could not remember the reason!!! She offered to get the answer to my question and send it in an email. I will post the email as soon as I get it.

I don't see this as a big deal. For 99% of the people the front mats get a LOT more wear than the backs anyway

This ^^^

My front seat and second row weathertech mats are made the same actually. Hah, I don't know which ones I have. But my 3rd row floor mat is very thin, but it does what it was meant for, it keeps everything off my carpet.

I honestly think my front ones are more flimsy. The side of the mats that rides against the kick panels kinda hangs down and dont sit tight against it like it should. Plus, I HATE how slippery the bottom of the mats are. The mats slide all over the place. Its extremely annoying. I wish they had little studs or nubs on the bottom to kinda bite the carpet and prevent the slipping. The second row mat w/ captains chairs fits perfect. Its actually a very tight fit.

Mine do not move much at all.

Warranty claim...?

Yea, my driver's side slides all the time. The stupid car wash jockie yanked the screw in stud out of the carpet so now it will not stay in place. For some reason the pass side stays put.

Yea neither the drivers or passenger side stay put. They both slide all over. How are the bottoms of the Husky mats? Are they studded to stay put and prevent sliding?

 

[raress9596]

Honestly I think Husky mats fit the best. I tried Weathertech in a couple of vehicles and never liked the fit and returned them. I have had Husky Mats in all my GM trucks ad they wear like iron. Even have a couple of sets that have been in three different trucks! I'm talking about their mats not the liners. Just my honest opinion. not affiliated with them at all.

 

[Goodinblack]

I had the old style husky mats. Never hated a mat more.

 

[Rogey89]

WeatherTech's are must have's in these!

 

[njracer]

I have no issues with the drivers side moving and I didn't even install the MatGrip yet.

So yours is just sitting in place? My pass side does that pretty well, but the drivers side is all over the place.

Plus one! Went to weathertech and never looked back.

I have a weather tech cargo mat that doesn't fit that we'll.. It's too wide and is kind of rolled up onto one of the sides

 

[soulsea]

My WT cargo matt always fit perfect ... one time I left it rolled up in the closet for like six months, put it in the truck, and two days later it had returned to its original shape memory. I hated the digital fit 1st/2nd row matts, like everyone said they slid all over the place. So the last set I got was their all weather matts which I loved because they are thick as hell and have little studs underneath that keep them stuck to the carpet.
