All Season Floor Liners

Been looking for a set of all season floor liners for my 07 TSX. Ive checked weathertech and husky and they don't seem to make them for this year. Does anyone know of another company or somewhere I can get a set? Thanks in advance.

Are you talking about floor mats or a trunkliner?

I ordered all-season Weathertech mats for my 06, (same cut-out pattern as the 07) -- they fit and work very well.

Gotcha.

I'm guessing the reason they don't make that model for our cars is that it would interfere with the trunk and gas remote access levers on the left of the driver's side. (No overlapping lip possible there, which is the whole advantage of that design.)

That said, the thicker, but less overlapping Weathertech mats work great for snow and rain/mud, etc. (They're also custom fit.)

I would be surprised if you find any like that, mainly because of that aforementioned issue with the trunk and fuel door release location.

i don't see why the trunk/fuel door release would limit such a product. its a custom fit mat so it should accommodate for that as any other floor mat.

My understanding is that functionally, the main difference with the Weathertech floorliners vs. the Weathertech floormats is the protective piece that overlaps on the sides facing the doors.

I agree with you regarding the other three passenger mats--it should have no effect. But on the driver's side, there is no way to extend that material. The release levers can't be covered by mat material, and it pretty much prevents that design from being used there....which is the highest traffic area of of the car.

I have not spoken with a company rep to confirm this being the reason, but it seems fairly straightforward. I've been a customer of MacNeil Inc's liners and mats for over 15 years...and I have yet to see those liners available for a car with levers on the driver's side. On the 2nd Gen TSX the levers are in a different location, and Floor liners are available for it.

I actually prefer the look of the mats to the liners, but agree that for the winter, some extra protection on the side would be nice.

Why won't you just get the Acura TSX OEM all-weather floor mats? I just recently bought a complete set. They look and feel great, very good quality mats.

H and A Accessories have pretty good prices on the OEM ($106.92 for the four, though only in black; and $79.20 for the trunk). I had a Weathertech for my trunk previously, and it was easy to trim to fit (I had known a guy there so I got it dirt cheap). Gave it to my hubby for his WRX when I got my OEM trunk mat.

I was looking for tsx liners for quite some time now. All you that said the trunk/gas latch with get in the way, sorry to say but you are all wrong.

Weather tech makes these liners for the 03-07 Honda Accords which we all know are the same chassis as the Acura TSX's. Also these accords do have the same floor design and outline as the tsx including the trunk/gas door latch but the only difference is that the accords gas pedals are not attached to the floor with a pivot like the TSX's. So the accord liners go under the gas pedal and straight to the firewall hence why they wont work with the TSX.

Weather Tech did not make these mats for the TSX since the Pedal pivot is attached to the floor because the 06-2011 Honda civic's have the same pedal design and weather tech dose have liners for the civics so they do have the knowledge of wrapping the liner around the gas pedal.

For you that cant understand me i have pictures:


This is the TSX floor with the gas/trunk latch and the pedals attached to the floor with a pivot.





This is the Weather tech liner for the Accords (same chassis as tsx)





This is to show how weather tech integrates the pedals attached to the floor with a pivot with the liners on a 06-11 civic's





Hope this helps, So there is no reason Weather Tech dose not have these mats for the tsx.

thanks.

I am very pleased with the OEM all-season mats. I was able to buy them from another member of acurazine for $40.00. He sold his tsx and they were in excellent condition.

I bought GoodYear ones and cut to fit. Not the nice OEM look, but they look good enough for a funcitional piece and I saved about $100.

I just purchased a 04 TL and I ordered the all season digitized floor mats from McNeil. Great purchase (a little pricey but well worth it), and my fuel latch is on the drivers side floor it looks similar to the 06-11 Civic pictures from post #11. I would recommend these floor mats to anyone
