Besides Acura and Weathertech are there any cargo mats worth looking at? We just bought an off lease 2018 and would like to protect the back carpet.

 

I'd stick with Acura or Weathertech. All the others are not good. It's worth spending the extra money if you ask me.

 

I bought an OEM mat on Amazon in 2014 as soon as I took delivery. It hasn't been asked to impersonate a pickup bed or anything too severe, but it's held up very well.

 

I've also got the OEM mats on my '13, and they're awesome. They are great for the price if you ask me.

 

Thanks for the reply. It’s our first Acura and first higher end car and we’d like to protect everyone square inch of it for my wife.

 

Yah I'd say you should get the Acura All-Weather mats and the Acura cargo mat for the back.

 

i got the acura all weather mats
only thing i dont like about it is when it snows and we get in with snowy boots .. ( only the driver side has this problem) the latch that keeps the mat in place lets the water melt get into the carpet below ..

i just got a silicone tube and formed a mound over it and the issue is resolved

 

Got any pics of it?

 

Another great alternative to the expensive big names is MaxLiner. I ordered a set for the front passenger area of my 14 right after buying it. They are super rugged and fit perfectly in the cabin. I live where there is tons of sand and they work exceptionally well to keep it all contained. MAXLINER is also $75-$100 cheaper than the alternatives

Have this, so far very durable. A bit more "plush" than the all rubber mats. Easy to clean, doesn't slide at all, perfect fit in the rear area, less expensive to boot:

None. OEM mats and rear mat are garbage and overpriced. I went with aftermarket mats to get more coverage-BJs. Mat's can hold at least 1 quart of water without leaking through those silly fasteners on the carpet. Waterproof pet liner in the rear and Home Depot thin waterproof carpets on top that that. Have lots of side protection in the rear too.

About a 60 dollar investment total.

 

It depends. Some dealers will sell the same item for a lot less. I find that both the front and rear mats do an excellent job...

 

I use WeatherTechs and have in my last car (VW), the RDX and the Porsche, not that I drive the latter in the winter. They are a perfect fit and if you drive where you have SNOW and SALT, they work IF...you place a double layer of 6 mil vapor barrier under them. Thanks to the useless holes they come with to attach them to the carpet pins in the car.

But at least the carpets and therefore the floor pan are dry during their entire life. Floors don't rust from the outside in, but from the inside out.

After 14 harsh winters. Never shampooed, just lightly vacuumed every spring...
