[PA DETAILER]

The salt will kill your mats ...

weather tech are fine if you have the money...

I personally buy Cost Co heavy rubber mats for winter...maybe 20 bucks :props:

I have WT as well. They offer great protection and look great in my opinion.

[WAXOFF]

I use Husky Liners.

Colorado does not use salt, at least not in Denver area. But I get all weather mats for my cars. Don't like cloth mats

For actual mats I really like the Lloyd rubbertite I had in my civic. They are much better than the Introtech hexomats I have in my Lancer.

I've had weathertech digifit floor liners in every truck that I've ever owned and love them! I've never had to use an extractor on my carpeting!

[Goin Rogue]

I use Husky Liners.
Cheaper than WT, but the same laser cut 100% coverage. Totally worth the investment!

Below are some comments I made in another thread about Weather Tech Floorliners. I am not sure if the pictures copied or not. If not I apologize.

I apologize to the original poster for adding to the thread; however, I noticed that there were several questions about the way that the WeatherTech Floorliners are held in place. Further, I felt I could give some insight on the durability of this product. I purchased my 2006 GMC Sierra in December 2005 and ordered the WeatherTech Floorliners immediately after buying the truck. I keep the floorliners in the truck year round. Accordingly, aside from the few days of shipping time that it took for my floorliners to arrive, they have been in the truck since December 2005, or over eight years. During that time, I have driven the truck approximately 190,000 miles.



At least for the model that fits my truck, the floorliners are held in place by a hook and a small Velcro strip on the driver’s side and simply a small Velcro strip on the passenger’s side. More accurately, I would say the floorliners are primarily held in place by the weight of the liner and the fact that they are molded to fit and fill up nearly the entire floorboard. In fact, as you will see below, I no longer use the Velcro fasteners. The fasteners did not stick well to the floorliners and I did not replace them as they are unneeded, at least in my application.



As for the durability, they have held up excellent. The passenger’s side, which rarely gets any use, still looks new. The driver’s side has worn through the thin rubberized coating to the hard inner liner on several areas which get the most use, particularly under the accelerator. Again, this is after eight years and 190,000 miles of use. The wear through is limited to the coating and there are no signs of the hard inner lining wearing at all.



The passenger's side.

Notice in the corner the Velcro strip which is attached to the door post. This is the only thing that holds down the passenger's side floorliner. As you can see, the portion of Velcro that should be attached to the floorliner has become unattached. Nevertheless, as the floorliner does not move around without out it, I have not replaced the Velcro.

The driver's side, dirt and all. Notice the hook barely protruding through the floorliner on the bottom right side of the photo.

The driver's side with the floorliner removed. You can now see the hook attached to the carpet. The carpet, after 190,000 miles, still looks virtually new.

Hopefully this gives everyone an idea of what to expect in terms of durability and answers some of the questions about how the liners are attached. For me, the WeatherTech Floorliners are worth every penny based on their durability, the ease to cleaning, and the manner in which they keep your carpet clean.

Colorado does not use salt, at least not in Denver area....

But they do use mag chloride by the truckloads which is worse IMO. I have WT digital mats, pricey, but there are less expensive rubber ones as mentioned earlier. I take the carpet mats out during the snow season here.

[Goin Rogue]

My Husky Liners attach via the floor mat hooks and the back side has all those little spikes that embed into the carpet. I did not need to use velcro to hold them in place, after 4K miles they haven't moved a bit.

[eaglefan]

Wt if you have the money. If not then husky.

What would be even more impressive than the pictures of those liners and their slight wear after all of those miles, would be a picture of the carpet underneath those liners. I bet it looks brand new!

[Quickstrike32]

Debating mats or liners myself. I don't like the way liners look in a family sedan...better suited for a truck.

I have Husky Weather Beaters in my car and truck and am satisfied. They fit well and pretty much stay put.

My sister in law has weather tech and she's happy. I can't see paying the difference but some do. Weather Tech mats are great though.
