My weathertech mats have been great. They never slide around like someone else said and they cover the carpet floor very well. Nothing but good things to say here. Just my two cents.

 

I have bench seat though so the front mat goes all the way across maybe that helps them not slide.

Gm passenger and rear are fantastic! like others have said, the driver's side is cut out under the accelerator, so the coverage is poor under it.

I put a black towel under the pedal/ mat area, and just wash it when I clean the interior.

As the title suggests I'm looking for some feedback. I'm awaiting delivery of my Silvy and have ordered it with the GM liners but I wonder if they are as good as the Weathertech ones. Can anyone that has the GM ones weight in here and let me know. If you could do it over would you go with the Weathertech ones? I'm not worried about the cost difference. There is about $60CDN difference the GM ones being cheaper.

 

Neither....

Since I started the thread I thought I would update you all. My truck came and the GM liners were installed. I LOVE THEM!

 

There is the small issue of the under the pedal coverage, which I am not all that thrilled about, but overall I'm good. It's been covered a million times.

 

The other small, tiny thing I was not 100% happy with is that they cover my Z71 sill plate. Well surfing around here today I see that they provide an easy moulded in cut out for that area. I will be cutting that part out as soon as I get home.

My weathertechs did not make it a full year before the drivers side mat developed a crack/hole. Going to try Husky next.

Search for the other threads on these liners. Somebody in those threads used the pieces he cut off the sill and siliconed them under the gas pedal to cover that area.

GM. Weathertech don't cover the sills as much and are nowhere near as thick and sturdy as the GM ones. Can't speak for the Husky, but I have a friend that has them and they didn't fit good for being designed to fit.

Weathertech Back is 1Pc and fits nice! The fronts are the hard plastic and takes a few days to get used too. Then they start wearing down little by little........They cover behind the pedal too and it will not let the 8speed compress all the way for the kickdown to engage which is why maybe the GM'S are cut out? Not 100% sure but just what I was thinking......If soft is material than stay away from the weathertechs.......

I have had weathertechs in both my 08 Tahoe and my 16 1500 and I have never had a problem with either, they have contained spills, dirt pretty much everything I can beat them up with, and never had to replace them. Haven't seen the other brands to compare though.

Yes I saw that thread yesterday, thanks for letting me know. I just removed the sill covers and will look to do the same.

      2019+ Brake failure, it's complicated

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - AC Delco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles, 119k total miles.  When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so I did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out, it could've been the wrong fluid. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material, scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance. I had a panic stop prior to this issue which may have contributed from what I read. And on the first attempt to bleed and hydraulic test the scanner listed things to look for and one was any gaps between the pad and rotors which I did notice on the RF corner and I removed the outer pad (where the gap was) cleaned it and the hardware and didn't see a gap after that but will re-check it. I read that if pushing the caliper pistons back then you're supposed to open the bleeder so as to not push fluid backwards into the abs module or it will damage it. If that's true then that's also a possibility from the previous owner having the brakes changed before I got it. I'm using an XTool ip500 scanner. Any suggestions, questions and comments welcome.

      Next Friday will be my 6 week point from my right knee replacement.  The surgeon says it will be fine if I choose to drive after this checkup.  I know I could drive now but best to do as my surgeon (and my wife) tell me.  Richard compared being 62 to 72.  I remember when I was in my early 60's I was experiencing slow but regular decline in my mobility.  Thanks to good medical support,  i continued to fight the speed and spread of this decline. During my 60's I worked on non-surgical methods and just when I turned 70, my orthopedic surgeon recommended joint replacements.  In a little over a year, I had one shoulder and both knees replaced.  This hasn't been a terribly fun experience, but worth the discomfort as my future mobility health trajectory has reversed.  It is a treat to now be watching my mobility. balance and confidence steadily improve!
