Weathertech floor liner
Anyone here install a set of floor liners from Weathertech? I'm on my first non-black interior in a while and want to protect the carpets.
If so, how are they holding up? Do they have the slots for the retainer hooks?

Had my set for 4 years and they hold up great through Chicago winters. I usually kick off any snow/salt on my feet before entering the car, but since the gas pedal is mounted to the floor, some water/salt does find its way into the carpet around that area. The only other thing I noticed is that where I rest my heel, the grain texture of the plastic has worn away maybe a 1"x1" area since I wear dress shoes with hard soles to work.

Best thing of the weathertech is that the rear wraps over the hump. The worst thing is that the driver side covers the lower half of the foot rest. Also, their stickers don't last which isn't really a bad thing.

I have the front & rear in my sedan and I highly recommend them. After a year, my carpet underneath looks brand new and I can't begin to tell you how many things I've spilled and how nasty our winter was. They also clean up very easily.

My liners arrived after about 10 days. I've had them in the car now for 2 days. The fitment is good overall, but the front driver's side slides around slightly front to back w/ about 1/2" of play in it. They really should have put some nibs on the bottom to hold it in place better. Passenger and rear fitment is spot on. The mats appear durable and the tall lip should hold water and debris well (as designed). The surface is slicker than I would like but overall the product is as promised.
My biggest gripe is that they are off-gassing like crazy. Overall the odor isn't too strong and is most noticable right when you get in the car after it's been sealed up for a few hours, but there must be some low-odor compound in the vapors because it's making my eyes water every time that I am in the car. I have been leaving the windows cracked a little, but I think that I am going to have to pull them out and leave them in the garage for a while until they have aired out.

You could try taking them out of car and airing out in your yard for however long it takes. Definitely toxic.

I have both the OEM ones and the weathertechs. The OEM ones fit great but are quite rigid and wear fast.
My driver's side OEM mat is about to get a hole where my right heel normally "rests" while operating the gas pedal. The weathertechs are durable and awsome specially for collecting snow and mud (which can then be absorbed by trowing some newspapers there).
