Winter front floor mat TL 2012 manual

Doesn't exist? Weathertech doesn't make and I didn't find for MT...

Where do you live and what drivetrain do you have? I checked Weathertech's USA and Canada sites and they both list mats for 2012 TL, both FWD and AWD for manuals. Do you mean something other than their molded mats, because they are for winter use as well.

I'm from quebec. It's for AWD. Weathertech list just for 2nd row. Do you have a link for front row?

Sorry, that would be my bad. Checking again, I noticed the same thing you did, the manual only seems listed for the rear. I will check out with my local dealer, they have another company that they use that is very similar to the Weathertech.

Weathertech mats will fit the 6MTs perfectly fine. The only potential issue is that the front edge of the mat happens to sit perfectly where the clutch pedal hits the floor, so there's a risk of the mat peeling up and catching on the pedal. That's probably why they don't list the 6MTs as an available model, just because they didn't modify their mold for 2 different designs, and they don't want to accept that risk.

To fix it, I just used a utility knife to slice off an inch of mat directly underneath the clutch pedal. Problem solved.

Thank you for this awesome information! I am brand-new to the site, and just purchased a spectacular-condition 2012 TL with Manual. This was exactly the question I had, and you guys nailed it!

Thanks!

Loved the weathertechs on my previous ride, so I'm glad to see there's an easy fix for the lack of 6MT options.
