newly released weathertech floor liners

[NoMe cruiser]

I installed the Weathertech Just add wish that they would make a rear cargo liner.

I thought weather tech makes a cargo mat

Got my new weathertech floor liners and I have to say they nailed it. The fit and finish is as expected from them, its fantastic! Overlaps the door sills a little for some more protection. Rear single piece mat also covers half of the hump behind the armrest. The mats extend further up the sides of the floor board more than the stock ones which is cool.

Problem i had with the stock all weather floorl iners was my foot would slip when getting out of the vehicle using the grab bar to clear my seats without sliding out ( FE rock rails dont really serve as a step when getting out because they are so small) the tread pattern with the 90 degree twist and the extra indention means my foot doesn't slip on the matt any more. It’s a win all the way round.

Floor mats look great!!
What are those Yeti bags you got there?

Is the consensus that the Weathertech mats are worth the cost if you already have the OEM all-weather mats?

The OEM front mats do not go up high enough (especially along the inside edge/transmission tunnel). I have a ton of salt from wet boots and shoes that accumulated on the carpeted area above the OEM mats and dripped down underneath. I will be ordering replacements this weekend.

I've not taken delivery of my vehicle yet, but the OEM all-weather mats are included. I'm trying to decide if I should go ahead and get the weather-tech mats to swap in immediately. My driveway is prone to getting a little muddy when it rains and I have a 4 year old who will be riding in the back row every day.

The front OEMs are a worthless upgrade. Toyota shouldn’t bother selling them. I’d 100% order the Weather-Techs ASAP. Our rear seats don’t get as much use, so I’ll make do with the OEMs in the back.

YES!! WeatherTech mats are awesome (thought I only have the front mats installed as of this posting).

Do it. NOW! Front and rear seats mats…

How is the trunk liner?

Has anyone ordered the rear cargo area WeatherTech mat? Pics if you have them please. The pictures on the WeatherTech website are marginal at best.

My question exactly. Posted at the same moment in time!

But not in their HP product line.

Yes, they do.

I'm happy with it... my 1958 didn't come with a rear cargo liner, so can't compare to the OEM version, but went ahead and ordered it with the front floor mats.

This is exactly why I ordered them... I noticed a lot of moisture getting trapped under the driver's floor mat from melted snow/salt because there's very little coverage in the area near the gas pedal. The WT mats go up higher and protect that area much better... after additional snow falls and driving around, my carpets are dry, and the WT mats look great.

I didn't bother to replace the rear seat all-weather mats mainly because I don't often have folks in the back seats, and the OEM ones seem "good enough" for what they're needed for...if you're more OCD than I am, you may prefer to have the full matching set.

IMO, the WT front and 2nd row mats are worth the investment, the one piece 2nd row is a huge improvement over OEM.

While I did not purchase the WT cargo liner, I think the OEM liner is more than adequate.

Yea.. my next purchase. Rear seat WT floor mat, for the rare times when the grandkids are back there..

Here are some comparison photos and angles to help decide if the WeatherTech HP are worth it over the OEM. I placed the OEM on top of the WeatherTech to show the added coverage. Even though I have java interior I selected black instead of cocoa, though I'm glad we have the option. The black matches the rest of the plastics in the Land Cruiser.

Note I had one corner edge that was not flush against the carpet on unboxing/installing. I used a heat gun to soften it and encourage it back to form and now it sits nice and flush when installed. So, try a heat gun if you have a similar issue with any deformation in shipping.

Overall I'm happy with them. The coverage over the OEM is the reason to get them, especially around the driver pedal area. The feel of the OEM are great - the WeatherTech HP does not improve on the feel however the HP are a just a touch thicker. Also the embossed logo is subtle - unlike previous versions that had a color logo. I like subtle. The HP does feel more compliant than the non-HP I have in the Subaru. The Subaru OEM have a nicer rubber mat material which I prefer, unfortunately like all OEM mats the coverage is inadequate. The HP WeatherTech are a step in the right direction as far as material goes, almost matching the OEM Toyota all weather, but not as good as the Subaru all weather. Good coverage is what was most important to me.

Thanks so much for the detailed response. I went ahead and got the Weathertech front and rear mats!

Yea... Miss Daisy needs the rear mats as well.
