Weathertech vs Husky Weatherbeater

[nj16yukon]

I ordered a full set of X-Acts for my '16 XL. Front row is a no-brainer; they fit perfect and they look good. 2nd row...not so much. I posted in the other thread that I didn't like how the 2nd row bubbles up in the middle. I was concerned about foot traffic (my kids) passing between the rows. I returned the 2nd/3rd row X-Acts and replaced them with the Weathertech 1-piece. Fit is great, and the Cocoa color is a great match for the Cocoa/Dark Atmosphere interior.

Looks good NJ16Yukon. I shy'd away from the Weatherbeater brand because a read on a few threads here that the WeatherTech is prone to curling at the edges. I guess its sort of a "pick your poison" scenario. Either an ill-fitting mat or a mat with curled edges....

 

[nj16yukon]

Agreed. I have Weathertechs in my Durango, and some of the edges curled in the 2nd row. I might try some strategically-placed velcro tape for the Yukon. The one place I could see them curling is at the door sill.

My xacts lay flat. Please excuse the mess from skiing last weekend!

Maybe its a "bench seat" vs. "captain chairs" kinda thing with the 2nd row X-Acts.

I wonder if they mixed up some of them?

Cardude-they are the exaxt same pattern as my Husky weatherbeaters, and look like they lay nice and flat. I always thought the xact contour versions were a totally different tread and more "rubbery" than plastic as the weatherbeaters feel.

They are. Xact are soft rubber instead of hard plastic which I very much prefer. They have some grip to them too.

What I mean was that maybe they mixed up some 'bench seat' mats with some 'bucket seat' mats...if there is a difference between the two maybe that's it.

Got ya, I see. My wife has the weatherbeater Husky in her traverse and the 2nd row fit is not as good as it should be, although the front and cargo sections are perfect. She doesn't care but I couldn't live with it in mine. I don't care for the way they don't flatten out in a couple of areas. My back seat weatherbeaters are perfect in my pickup

I started a new thread about Maxliners before I saw this one existed. I bought them for my 16 Denali and have pix posted. Should show up in a search rather than me cross posting

Where did you find the one piece 2nd/3rd row mat? Everything I see shows 2 mats. One for the 2nd row and one for the 3rd row.

 

[nj16yukon]

I ordered direct from Weathertech. Search by vehicle and make sure you select 2nd row bucket seats.

 

[UATahoe]

Awesome. But it's a single 1 piece mat that covers the 2nd and 3rd row right?

 

[nj16yukon]

Yes. There are slits on the door side of each captain's chair, which are necessary for installation. The drawback with Weathertechs is that the edges have a tendency to curl over time.

 

[roeserp]

Actually, the aggressive spikes that are on the Husky liners are not on the cargo liner. But it's thick and does not curl, and large enough to not slide - it extends an inch or two beyond the lip of the floor. I like it.

Does your Weather Tech liner pretty much keep you from being able to use that little floor compartment that lifts up from the back?

I have that thing full of stuff that I would hate to be without but don't need to get to often - jumper cables, flashlight, emergency blanket, that kind of thing. So, the liner does make it hard for me to get in there, but I don't need to get in there much.

Thanks - those are the kind of things that I stow back there too, but seems like I'm always getting into it for one reason or another.

I just got done installing my WeatherTechs in my 2007 Yukon Denali and I'm SO disappointed. I have had WeatherTechs in EVERY vehicle I've ever owned and they are great! This vehicle however, Major Fail! First off, they come over the sill plates and cover the Denali logo... Really? Then there is a huge gap in the back, just not a happy overall... Whats the next best thing?

For those wondering why I went black, it's because I plan to do a color change at some point on the interior. Not a big fan of the beige...

 

[CJ47]

Ordered the X-acts and thinking about getting the WeatherTechs cargo liner. Is the cargo liner flexible enough to be folded in the back-back if the 3rd row was needed for seating (on a short-term basis)?

 

[Mwbutcher]

I went with Aries. They are going out of the mat business so I'm considering ordering a second-set just to have them as backup up - they are very very nice. I've had WeatherTech, Catch It and others and these are by far better than anything I've ever had.
