My one piece front identical to yours is doing that only on driver side. I realized when I'm jumping in my big ass gorilla feet hit that corner. I bent it back and am careful to not kick it getting in and it's now staying in place.

Mine does the same thing. I just figured that was a quirk of the way they fit. I just wish the rear liners went forward another 3-4 inches under the driver/passenger seat.

Can you post a picture of the rear liner? They go under the back seat but stop at the backrest of the front seats?

If I leave work while it's still light out, I'll try to get a picture, otherwise, I'll try when I get home & have some light in the garage.

Ok, here's a shot of what I'm talking about. If the little piece that goes under the seat would go forward a little more so that the carpet is protected more, I'd be happier.

Thanks - thats how I thought they fit. I have to agree with you. They should provide more protection where your feet are.

Yeah you would think, that's why we pay an arm and a leg for them. Just ordered a set of them for my new 2012 Cruze, guess I have to wait and see if they fit better than the ones in my Silverado.

I tried Weathertech mats once and returned them due to poor fitment. They are expensive and you can find OEM rubber mats for about the same or less price, and they always fit better in my opinion.

Annoyances:

 

1. Both front mats: The corners naturally bend away from the opening. I will try using a hairdryer and bending the material, not sure if it's powerful enough. I think the instructions mentioned something about using heat to re-shape the mats. A better solution would be to ship them so that the packing material compresses the lips outward instead of inward.

 

2. Front passenger mat: There's no hole+hook combination to secure the mat, unlike the driver's side. The problem with the hole+hook method is that it makes a hole in the carpet and of course allows mud/snow/sand to fall through the hole. Honestly, if the mats had a heavy backing material they wouldn't slide around so much.

 

3. Rear 1-piece mat: It buckles and moves a bit when sliding powered seats back and forth. A little trimming of the front lip will help it clear the seat tracks.

 

Now I do love the material, tray shape, and how easy they are to clean. Anyone know where to find heavy backing material?

After using and selling Weathertechs for 8 years I've went with Huskys (which I hated the original ones). WeatherTech continues to get thinner and poorer fitting.The Hushy Weatherbeaters fit better,are cheaper ,stay in place and clean up better. The weathertechs are still priced premium but the ones I bought a few years ago are miles ahead of the current lower quality crappy fitting ones.

Well my Husky Weather Beaters for my Cruze came in today and they fit great. Much better fitting than my Husky Liners in my Silverado. The good thing about them it they have little spikes on the bottom and do not slide around like the WeatherTech ones do in my truck. They also don't make you put a plastic screw into the vehicle carpet on either side. The rear one piece fits great and covers the entire back floor and far under the front seats.

If I had to do it again, I would have ordered Husky's for my truck. The WeatherTech liners I have now will be the last set I buy from them. The Husky's seem to fit much better.

Not that I'm going to run out and buy another set of matts but anyone have Husky's in a crew cab front and rear? Pictures please?

I have seperate fronts that fit well. They must have had a bad bunch. I would contact again. They should be much better than that.

 

I lied. Mine is gapped. Never noticed it. I am pretty sure it has developed into this. Maybe the cold weather. I will check when spring comes.

      Very interesting thread. Definitely didn’t expect to see this kind of mileage out of that engine.

      J&L OIL SEPARATOR CO

      Just did an injector/HPFP replacement on Pepper at 192,400 miles; close enough to 200K, RIGHT? (If 200K is considered life end and to me it isn't). But hey, to each his own.    Have never run a catch can on this vehicle. Back side of every valve looked like a new valve spray painted semigloss black. Port walls looked 'neat' (all a normal result of passive EGR via VVT) Zero build up even in AFM cylinders. Just color. It uses no measurable oil and never has.    At 155,000 I put her on E-85 and a borescope of the cylinders at plug change showed very clean pistons and valve faces. The replaced injector tips looked new. (It was the pump piston seal that was leaking). Oh well, have six good backups.    Still gets 28 mpg on gas (highway average) and over 20 (highway) on alky. UOA's look good and runs as good now as it did when I bought it. Better in fact.    What improvement would a Catch Can provide this motor?     And given all this I expect that IF I installed one I'd see some water/gas/oil vapor accumulation. Byproducts of normal combustion.   Having said that, IF my motor used an appreciable amount of oil I'd consider it a useful 'crutch' until I had the situation corrected OR if bore polished, until I junked it or rebuilt it to stave off repeated plug fouling.    I'm not telling you what I THINK. But what its DONE.

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Love the look. I'm a SCSB lover myself.    Two items. 1.) A spacer changes scrub radius but this also changes when we use wheels of different offsets. A little isn't a big deal. 2.) Steel wheels, alloy wheels all have different thickness. Same effect on the stud and lug nut as a spacer. When hub centric the wheel isn't supported by the stud. It's supported by the hub. The stud just keeps it all together.

      2016 Sierra 5.3L L83 new injectors now runs rich.

      By JAI3 · Posted

      I had a evap sol go bad a couple weeks ago. . I replaced it.  While watching live data at the time I saw I had some cylinder 1 misfires. No MIL but on live data I could see ~50 at startup and about 70 more after an hour a drive all on cyl 1.  I also noticed that the LTFT were -5% to -15% always.  And that bank 2 is always -3% richer than bank 1. Even across all driving modes, city, highway, etc it’s always 3% richer than bank 1. So I start with the misfire. Swapped coil, plug, and plug wires from 1 to 3. No follow. I got an Injector reseal kit, pulled the D/s injector rail, swapped #1 and #3 injectors, resealed them, reinstalled and retested.  The misfire followed to 3. So I ordered and replaced all 8 injectors, spark plugs, and plug wires. Also replaced the 1 time use fuel pipes under the intake manifold.  Injectors that were in the truck since new were  Part # 12668390.  I replaced them with # 12742701 Got from RockAuto. Pretty certain they’re genuine and the correct ones. I called a friend at a parts store who told me “the 12742701 were the correct superseded part # for the originals I was replacing”. So started truck after replacing all that and it’s running -15 - -30 LTFTs. I reset the fuel trims with GDS2 and drove it for a 60 miles trip each way. There have been no changes in the LTFTs.  I checked if the HPFP was leaking into the crankcase. I removed the pvc and watched the trims. No difference.  I checked the alcohol content and it was at 10%  I’m out of ideas here. Truck seems to run great. Just always rich on the fuel trims.  Anyone with any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I ran an injector balance test just for the heck of it and it came back this. I’m confused.  I have gds2 and some other diag tools if anyone knows of anything I should test next.
