I had WeatherTechs in my Equinox. Good coverage, but got dirty just looking at them. Plus, without any raised ribs, they pool up with thawed snow in the winter and soaked the cuffs of my pants routinely.

 

I really like the Husky's in my Sierra. I like that there is some raised ribs, the mat itself is a little more flexible and "car mat" like. Plus they are much easier to keep clean.

 

I hope someone from WT marketing is reading this, it seems like they are loosing a lot of customer loyalty.

Had the same issue with Weathertech mats...sold them and ordered Aries 3D. The Aries fit great and are somewhat cushioned.

I've had them in four or five vehicles in the past w/ zero issues. This is the only time that the fit has been off (2014 Sierra). The front passenger side is the worst though. The front right edge just curls down about 3 inches off of the sidewall. I've had them for almost a year. I live in Hawaii, so I bought them to catch the sand. They do the job, but just don't look as nice as they did in my other vehicles. I currently have a set in my wife's 2014 Focus and they fit perfect.

Has anyone that had them and they didn't fit, contacted WeatherTech? I can't believe that they wouldn't do something for you.

i don't know when everyone ordered there wt. I have had mine in since this past December and they fit perfect with no edges curling up. the passenger side mat moving around was fixed by wt before I ordered. now they give you these Velcro clips that screw into your carpet and then hold the mat in place (basically like the pins on the driver floor mat just a little different).

 

IF I had to complain about something it is that my drivers floor mat is discoloring (fading) a little right where my foot (feet) are at. really not a big deal and honestly that it nitpicking.

I have Husky Weather beaters and love them. We got Weathertechs for my wifes traverse, and wish we had gotten Husky. They are horribly thin compared to Husky, and the heat causes the edges to curl in.

I just had my rear weathertech mat curl up big time. Very annoying to look at. I bought them directly from them so I will be sending pictures and try to get a replacement or refund soon. I liked the look of the rear mat and originally did not have any issues.

I had my weathertech mats in my truck for a week I read all the bad reviews so I decided to return them for Huskys. I got the X-act fit in the front and the full size weather beaters in the back. I am very glad I did the huskys are much better. They fit better, they are softer and they look better. They also have a better warranty.

I contacted them last week about the front passenger side sliding around, they're sending me some velcro for the bottom. Other than that I haven't had any issues.

Really? Velcro? Why does that not surprise me from MacNeil Automotive.

Another vote for Husky. Mine fit perfectly.

My rear Weathertech mats are fine, but the fronts have some curl to them at the sides. I don't mind though, don't really notice it anymore. Long missed the return window and they do their job at keeping mud dirt and other crap from screwing up the carpet.

They sent two strips of Velcro for my wife's traverse. Why stick Velcro to the interior of a brand new vehicle when I can get mats that actually work correctly. I am sending the Velcro and mats back. They are junk compared to Husky

Do the rear Husky Weather Beaters go over the edge like the WTs and the front Weather Beaters do? I have been trying to decide between the two but I want to make sure the rear mat goes out over the edge like the front mats do.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

      Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
