The weathertech digifits are expensive but well worth the money I think. Plus their customer service is top notch.....the mats in my mothers audi started to get deformed after 2 years so I emailed them a couple pics and an explanation and within 24 hours they shipped us out a brand new set without any hassle. So you pay for what you get

I found some at my local Tractor Supply Company. It was a set of 4 of the heavy duty rubber ones that you can trim down yourself to fit. I just left them alone and it fills almost the whole floor up front. I'm very satisfied with them. I think I gave like $25 for them.

DO NOT get the weathertech floor liners. The way our trucks are designed, the mat is over the sill, rather than the sill higher than the mat. I caught my feet every time I got in the truck.

After calling weathertech, they said they would send me another set. Why would the new ones be any different?

Here is the second set, only 1 week after install; identical fit as the first set:

They then sent me a front and rear package of all weather mats. Those are pretty much universal, and similar to the ones you would find at a parts store. Not impressed.

I ended up putting two long strips of Velcro on the back of the mat: 1 on the sill, and one on the lh kick panel. It has been 3 weeks and they haven't moved. If I could do it all over again, I'd go with a different brand.... The weathertech are a fabulous product in most applications, just not this one.

Hmmm I have the WeatherTechs for my 08 and they fit beautifully. Mine lay flat on top of the sills and definately save the carpet in the winter from all the slush and crap. Having them go only up to and not cover the sills would allow all that crap to get in the crevis.
My only gripe would be that I wish the backsides had the little nubs on them because the passenger side moves around ( maybe 1/2 inch ) Drivers side is fine because of the hook piece.

PS, My buddy has the Husky ones in his F150 and I trip on them every time I get in because they stick up so much.

I bought the thickest rubber ones from either Walmart or Sam's (don't remember.) Nice, thick grooves catch most everything and they're easy to clean. And, since they're so heavy, they don't move around.

I have carpeted Lloyd Ultimats in the Expy. I like that the rear is one piece and the minions are old enough to clean up after themselves so I could get something nice.

My interior is tan so whether the dirt blends in or the mats are that good, I've been really pleased with the look and that they have remained in good shape after several winters and even more workboots.

Thanks guys. I had the weather tech rubber floor mats for my jeep, they were real nice, lasted over 10 years. I have an 04 EB and decided to go with the Husky floor liners. Reason being is the second row and thrid row are all one piece and I have second row buckets. These floor liners cover everything. The front ones are a perfect fit.

Second and third row fit almost perfect. The lips stick up a bit but so far so good. All over a good fit. Covers everything, and I mean everything. No carpet shows at all. The weathertech's did not have this.

Even between the second row buckets is covered, third row one piece. Expensive but worth it for me. Even covers under the buckets. All 3 rows runs about $240.00.

Thumbs up.

Brilis,

Do you have any pics of the mats front and rear? When I installed the second row buckets, I exposed the rug and floor in that center area.. Would love a solution other than an old floor mat cut to fit.

Fitted car mats are also available in different colors, to suit the interior of your car. Many people prefer black, because it does not show the dirt, however fitted car mats are available in a range of colors.

I got the Weathertech and just put a strip of Velcro on the sill. They work great and keep my carpeted floor clean and dry. And when the get dirty, I pull them out, spray them with Simple green, scrub and rinse and they look brand new.
