    WeatherTech liners or mats?

    I am going to replace the carpet floor mats in my Jeep and my Entourage. For the Jeep, I will get the liners. However, what would you guys recommend for my Entourage? I need the three piece set for the van. I'm just not sure the liners will look good. Keep in mind I don't have to deal with snow. The worst we have is beach sand and rain.

    I love my Weather tech mats. Their a bit pricey, but they save the carpet!

    Re: WeatherTech liners or mats?

    The liners are good if you want the whole carpet area covered. The liners are typically good for people with kids, because they don't know how to place their feet on the floor.

    With the mats, carpet will still be exposed and to keep the carpet clean you'll have to keep your feet on the mats. Hence the kid reference above.

    That being said, I have the mats in my truck and love them. They see sand, snow, mud, dirt, etc... If I keep my feet on them, the carpet stays clean. They hold any liquid, snow melt form shoes for example. Just carefully take them out and hose them off and they are ready to go again.

    Weathertech should be standard equiptment in every car except Lambos. You'll love them as soon as you install. The only gripe I might have would be if you have a level floorboard. If you do, the lip on the mat can be kinda annoying, but even then I still recommend them

    Much be a real pain having to deal with living close to the beach. I feel so sorry for you

    Check out Husky Liners. They're a good bit cheaper than Weathertech and I like them a bit more.

    I would not have a car without the floor liners. A must have item IMO

    Well, according to their website, they don't make the liners for my van. I went there hoping to see a picture.

    WeatherTechs are great. I had WT mats in my previous Audi, some snow and salt escaped so every spring I had to some carpet maintenance around the edges. Now I have factory all-weather mats and weathertech liners for winters. I find that dirt and sand still escape my factory mats but with my liners the carpets stay practically spotless. I just dump the crud out and give them a quick rinse (sometimes I use soap)

    I'm sure it was a difficult decision

    I see your in Tampa? You should attend one of Garry Deans detailing clinics
