Weathertech or Husky

[Adieu]

I just looked at weathertech yesterday and the 1 pc for 2nd and 3rd row looks like it requires the 2nd row seats to be removed to put in / take out the 1 pc mat. That just seems like way to much hassle to me.

It's 4 big bolts (torx T50 or T55 i think?) per seat, takes <2 minutes with an impact gun

Damn.... this is what SSV floors SHOULD be like

I have Weathertech in the front. I really like them. They fit perfect and snap right into the stock retention features on the driver side. I have them in the 2nd and 3rd row too. I wouldn't spend the money on the 2nd and 3rd row. The issue I have is that the 2nd row one works with a 2nd row bench too. So where the 3rd row and 2nd row meet it's not flat and it looks terrible. Also the 2nd and 3rd row ones don't have anything to secure them down so the kids are constantly tripping on them. I might take some of those black plastic clips and drill holes into the trim around the seat bases to keep them in their places. Also when the kids track wet boots through the car the water puddles up, then they drop their bags on the floor and everything gets soaked. Where as with the stock carpet it would soak in and dry eventually but things thrown on the floor won't get as wet.

Train offspring to keep backpacks in their laps?

Is a one piece 2nd and 3rd a new option? That wasn't an option when I bough mine. The 3rd row Weathertech mat of mine requires you to flip/fold/roll the middle bucket seats forward then lay the mat down the put the seats back.

I have 4 I'm just lucky to get them all in the car and stay there before we take off.

Could try making them ditch their shoes in the second row if you have captains or a pulled up middle second row seat

We have the 5 and 9 year olds in the 3rd row and the 6moth old in the second. The 5 year old constantly feels the need to get out of his seat to check on the baby, or to talk to us, or to show us something, or what ever excuse his little brain can come up with to get out of the seat.

He's in a high back booster with out the harness. He meets the weight and height requirements not to have to use the harness type.

We have first and second row weathertechs in our 2012 Expedition e l. Fits perfectly and I don't know about husky but WeatherTech is made in Illinois. I've been dealing with that company as a customer of theirs for a long time. Great customer service!

We also have the Weathertech first and second mats for our 17' Limited, but the front passenger mat does not site flat and without the same snaps as the driver side, tends to slide around.

We have a 2012 e l Limited and thankfully do not have any issues at all.

Hopefully the screen capture uploaded. Yes, you can get a 1 pc for the 2nd and 3rd rows from Weathertech.

Wow that is a much improved design over the ones I ordered, it looks like the it's more like the front mats where it goes over the door sil plastic. What is the rectangle in the middle of the floor mat? It looks like the single piece is only available for the Non-EL. Bummer

The rectangle isn't there. Just my screen grab put it there.

Yes. This is the mat I am debating on, in black.

I like my husky liners in my 17 XLT I live in Minnesota so they keep the salty water from exscapeing into the carpet the weather tech didn' look like it would hold the wetness as it' not as deep of a liner

 

[Daniel Mignano]

I went w Husky .. both fit well , husky have a better feel .. weathertech felt to stiff and plasticy Husky had a more rubbery feel

 

[ExpeditionAndy]

I went with the Weather tech front, middle and back. I'm sold on them. I do have the EL. Hard to get pictures of black mats because they absorb all the light.
