Windancer Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Caper I bought a Weather Tech mat for the back of my car, so far it hasn't been necessary, thankfully, but I do like the thought it's there. It seems to fit quite well. Overall I am very happy with both the rear mat and the front mats. Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bramfrank Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 I got the OEM one for mine - they're all quite light, but they stay put. I got mine on eBay (the same applies to my Husky floor mats) - much less expensive than the local 'stealer'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windancer Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Thanks for your input...Did you get them on-line? Hope it helped some, IMO they are a good idea. I bought mine from a truck outfitter in town here. I Have the black ones, I should go out and take some photos as there have been a couple of people who were interested.

caperinmuskoka Posted April 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Thanks photos would be great........Does the back side of the mat have all the sharp little points that keep it from moving ...or is it just the tight proper fit that keeps the mat from moving.....Caper...........

Dre Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 I know it's not the perfect solution but I wasn't ready to pay $100+ for a cargo liner and I often put golf equipment in the back so I needed something to protect the carpet from wet grass and dirt. I simply bought this 3'x5' vinyl mat from Canadian Tire and cut it to size. There's a small portion (4-5 inches) of carpet that it doesn't cover up near the seats since it's only 5' wide but other than that it does a really good job for now. I suppose you could simply overlap with an extra peice of vinyl but I find 5' is deep enough for my use. I think it actually looks pretty good for $15 haha! http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/browse/3/HouseHome/HomeDecor/Mats/PRD~0687612P/Black+Vinyl+Mat%2C+3x5-ft..jsp?locale=en I can post some pictures if anyone is interested in this.

Windancer Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 I know it's not the perfect solution Cheers! Very good idea Dre and obviously much cheaper, Do you have any problem with it moving? If so, have you figured out a solution. I was thinking some velcro. Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dre Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 (edited) It does tend to move a little bit (couple inches) towards the seats after a few times since I tend to slide stuff on there but I find it doesn't really move around at all on its own which is good. I just have to pull it back towards me once in a while so it covers up all the way to the edge. Velcro could very well solve the problem but I think it would be best to cut the mat wider so it curls up on the sides a bit. Then you can stick the velcro on the plastic so it doesn't damage the carpet. Great idea! I'll have to look into that! Another thing I like with this solution is that the mat is so thin it doesn't get in the way of the storage bin underneath. The mat just flexes when you lift up the panel. Velcro on the sides may cause a problem with this though...there's gotta be a solution that works... Edited April 2, 2012 by Dre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While a great solution for the everyday problems, there is no doubt that Dre's solution would not be good for Caper's problem. I will try to get you some photos Caper when I get home tonight.

Yes, you are right. It does work for small spills since it has grooves running from side to side and I cut the mat a bit wider than the cargo area so it curls up a bit on each side but for big spills you almost have no other choice but to open your wallet and get something like the Husky Liner or WeatherTech mats.

Armendegga Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 I use the factory one which I bought from a dealer off of eBay for much cheaper than the regular cost. Stays put, and has lips around to catch water, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
