Has anyone tried these weathertech style mats by GM? They're form fitted floor liner style mats that go up the sides just like husky or weathertech but have the chevy or gm logo in them.

I have a high country so I've narrowed it down between these or the weathertechs since they both come in the cocoa color

Thanks

I have them. While I loved at first, I found a few nuances with them. The gas pedal area is not protected unlike the Husky. There is no center hump protection like you can get on the Husky. The rear liner is made of (2) pieces with a seam in the middle. Potential chance of ingress for gunk.

 

I'm considering getting a Husky set myself.

 

Alexantics did a Weather tech to Husky video comparison and based on that + the feedback I've read about WT, I'll be going to Husky soon.

I had the GM version and loved them until after the first snow storm, the lack of protection under gas pedal and the clips have holes resulted in the carpet getting soaked. I didn't notice this until a few days later when I pulled them to wash the salt off.

I sold the fronts to a guy at work who has vinyl floors and bought the Husky xact contours.

It's to bad because I liked the GM better but a wet carpet is not good.

I wore a hole in my factory style mat in the first year. They suck. I have the weather tech mats now and I wish I had got the husky's. The weather techs are way to ridged and once they get a crease it's bent forever.

I like the protection of the door sill with the GM ones, but like the gas pedal protection of the huskys. I modified my GM ones to protect under the gas pedal, but if i had to do it all over again, I would take a long look at the huskys over the GM ones.

I have the over-the-hump Weathertech mats in the front as well as Weathertech's in the back. I love them and have had them in my past three vehicles with no issue.

+1 for the annoying lack of protection under the gas pedal. That's where most of the salt/water is going to drip off your boots. My carpet is a crusted white mess right there. I'll sell my GM front ones and get some Husky Liners for the front. I like the back one from GM though.

I like my GM version ones. They came with my truck but they are not as hard as huskies like I've had in precious cars which makes it easier to pull in and out for cleaning. The huskies I had in my Challenger also had really sharp pins on the bottom of the mat to keep it from moving and they were actually pretty sharp and made it a pain to take them out without scratching the leather. I'm not sure if the Silverado or sierra ones are the same as them. There is a slot where it's not protected under the gas pedal but nothing ever gets in there except a few pieces of grass maybe. The back is very nice as it is two pieces that fit together snugly like a puzzle. My only complaint is it doesn't cover the hump in the front of my car. Other than that I think the GM ones are great.

Same experience for me on the GM Liners. Weather here in Dallas is nothing in comparison to those where snow, ice, mud get sloshed around in there with the GM liners. I'd be terrified. My fear would be one day a drink or coffee gets dropped and it'll be over. My boys like fighting over the jump seat and the unprotected hump.

 

I have the same fear in the back where the to liners meet in that "puzzle" connected seam.

This is what happens with the stock GM ones.

      Trim level custom/pro

      By Another JR · Posted

      Are you going to take long trips in it?  If so, try out the seats in the various trims. For me the lower trim level seats were not comfortable.

      I have a 2016 that I bought new and still own. I'm around 129,000 miles now. The biggest problem was a transmission failure about 2 years ago around 95000 miles. No warning, just failed while driving down a back road. A reman GM transmission installed and it's been fine ever since. A few other minor problems along the way. I am in no hurry to replace it. It's been paid off long ago and do plan on driving this as long as I can.   I will admit I am leery about all the additional electronics in the newer models and feel that it is just more potential problems. I think there's actually more than I would have wanted in this 2016 but so far so good. I think even if something major like lifter failure happened, it would still be cheaper to at worst, drop a new engine in than buy a new vehicle.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Good question, I don't remember for sure but I believe it was the HD. I will check and get back to you.

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case."
