Weathertech vs Husky Weatherbeater

[PivotalRex]

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.

Apparently Husky hasn't rectified this problem. I just received Husky x-act contours with the same issue for the second row.

Update:

for anyone that cares, I spoke with Husky, the front x-act contour are vacuum mold, the rear are injection mold. They had an issue with the first run of the rear liners that they rectified. It seems I got older product that wasn't pulled off the shelf (didn't order it from Husky so that would make sense).

I think that is an excuse. I brought this exact issue to them a year ago; they sent me a second rear piece that fit no better than the first, and when I told them that they stopped answering my emails. Along the way they admitted that they used published measurements on the Tahoe/Yukon mats and did not have an actual vehicle available to measure.

Details might have changed in the ensuing year, but mostly my conclusion is that the Husky mats don't fit too well. I've gotten used to mine and the issue is not bad enough to warrant spending new money on Weathertech - but I would not buy Husky again and don't recommend them.

I don't have anywhere close to that kind of issue with my Husky second row mat. The corner of it sticks up a bit like in the photo above but the rest of the mat fits perfectly fine. Not sure how there could be such a huge variance unless like what PivotalRex said is true.

Who woulda thunk that there'd be a 19-page thread on floor mats?

Take a look at the Maxliner liners...this is when they were brand new in march and have settled nicely. Find them easier to clean than the weathertechs i had before. They look slippery, but arent at all. And i personally like the glossy look. Got them on Amazon Prime for cheaper than Weathertechs and Huskys. Great coverage IMO

These look like what I was asking about regarding the ability to protect the carpet between the footwell to under the 3rd row seating area. How far under the 3rd row do they go back?

Also, did you get the cargo area mat, and how does it work with the incline the Subs, XL's & ESV's have?

TIA

Hope these help. Thats the full size cargo mat with the 3rd row down on the non-xl yukon.

I hate to say it, but the 1st, 3rd, 4th and 6th pictures did not come out.

Ok, now I see that you have the full size cargo liner(presumably XL size?) up on the back of the 3rd row seats.
Looking at the ads of Amazon, I do not see what you have in the 2nd picture, that being full coverage going up from the 2nd row from the footwell to up under the 3rd row. The ad pictures seem to stop only a few inches above the footwell, which is essentially just the lip/rim around the footwell.
I hope I explained that well enough?

Yep, i have the cargo liner over the 3rd row, third row laying down. Im not sure if they are the same piece for the between the XL and non, but I'd bet they would be awful close.

Now for the 3rd row floor liners, they are completely different between the XL and non, and if you go to maxliner usa website, it actually has really good pictures on it on how they look and cover differently. Im quite happy with the coverage on mine. I just had to order through amazon as i am in canada and with exchange and shipping, amazon was significantly less. All i did was get the product numbers off the maxliner site and then searched those numbers on amazon.ca. worked out really well for me

I went weathertech floor mats and 2nd row mats.

I see what you mean. The ones under the second row seats that go back toward the 3rd row are longer/different for the Tahoe, Yukon or Escalade, than the Sub, Yukon Xl or Escalade ESV. I wonder why, as the longer ones could benefit from the added protection. Makes me wonder if the dimensions are different for leg room between the 2nd & 3rd row seats in the shorter platform vs. the longer ones?

BTW - I pulled the trigger on an ESV earlier today with the tan interior (Shale/Cocoa), and now I need to make a decision on the floormats ASAP.

I just put my 2007 full size Husky cargo liner from my 2007 Suburban in the back of my 2015 Escalade ESV over the top of the folded 3rd row seats. It is not a perfect fit but it is darn close. Like your experience, when When I raise the 3rd row seats, the cargo liner stays in place pretty well, with the portion on the back of the seats being ***** and not bending over. I will have to leave it like that during the day when it is hot to see if it was say ***** or flop over.

As a follow up, I attempted to put the floor liners from Weathertech for an Escalade into the Escalade ESV I bought. The fit was close, and interestingly enough the 2nd row liner goes under the 3rd row for some added protection. It would seem that the ones actually made for the ESV (and presumably the Suburban and Yukon XL) only cover for the foot well of the 3rd row. But the shorter versions mats actually give more protection going under the 3rd row.

I purchased Husky mats. 1st 2nd and 3rd row. Fitment is pretty good. Good quality. Very easy to clean up also

Weathertechs suck. Theyre cheep thin hard rubber and eventually cup. What happened to the thick, heavy, soft rubber that is actually heavy duty and lays down. I have Michelin's in my ol 96 and they blow the doors off the weathertechs! I have weathertechs in the duramax and they suck bad! Wish Id had the time to call wt and let em kno how horrible they are and had sent em back.
