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?

Mine look like new after 2 years. They don't need hooks because they fit so snugly. Love 'em.

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.

Good to know. Based on your feedback I just ordered a set of F&R liners.

I have the OEM All seasons in, and they work pretty well and clip in with a perfect fit, but I hear great things about weather tech also

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.

It would be nice to get a deal to just buy Weathertech for the back and the 2 piece OEM for the front. That way the driver side won't be sliding back and forth.

you can buy the rear set separately for the weathertechs. not sure about the oem all weather ones from acura though. i think that comes as a 4 piece set.

I have the acura all weather ones that stunk for 2 weeks.
You could try taking them out of car and airing out in your yard for however long it takes. Definitely toxic.

Have Weathertechs in my TSX, my wife's X3 and the Camry we leased for our son at college. Big believer in them and have had them in every vehicle I have owned since 2010

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).

I bought some cheap ones from WalMart for like $10 a few months ago. They work fine I guess.
