Floor mat recommendations?

**clm65** · 05-24-2011, 11:42 AM

I'm looking for some high quality floor mats for my wife's '11 Murano. I have the Weathertech liners in my truck, and I love them, but I can't seem to convince her to put them in her car. Can anyone recommend a good "carpet" type floor mat that will hold up well and not stain easily? The carpet color is light tan - not the best color for dirt - so the new mats will probably be a similar color.

Thanks for any input (or for suggestions on how to convince the wife to go with the Weathertech custom liners).

Is there not a factory floormat option for the Murano? OEM floormats typically have the best fit and finish, and if maintained, should last a long time. You can probably find OEM mats on ebay for less than you'd pay at the dealership.

Yes, it has the factory floor mats. They fit well and look nice, but leave quite a bit of exposed carpet around the edges. We have two boys - ages 9 and 11 - and if you saw the carpet in the vehicle we traded in for the Murano...well let's just say it wasn't pretty. And the Murano carpeting is much lighter, so I'm afraid it will look even worse.

After writing this post, I'm really not sure if anything other than a floor liner is going to help me out...but i'm open to suggestions!

Weathertech

OE + Scotchguard. Or, AG sells lots of custom Lloyd carpet mats. Be thankful you don't have "winter" like us lucky midwest folk.

I would agree Weathertech.

Curious? What reason did your wife give you for not wanting the floor mats.

I got a set of the Lloyds from AG last year, and am very pleased with them.

While Weathertech's aren't cheap, rubber floor mats for someone like me has the air of cheesy cheapness to it compared to a nice fiber carpet floor mat.

But they can so save your carpets and keep your car looking brand new on the inside. I use mine 90 percent of the time, on occasion I take them out and put in my carpet mats if I just detailed the car, but I always end up a couple days later putting them right back in! They are amazing mats!!!!

For what it's worth department: my wife has a fine BMW X3 which SHE details and is obsessive with--and did NOT want the WeatherTech...thot it was a bit too plebian. UNTIL she saw them in use, got a set, and NOW will not take them out even in summer...unless she is going to a show event etc..and THEN complains she is going to ruin her better carpets. They look and fit great...just a thot..but she is sold. Good luck on convincing SWMBO, but they are nice when it comes to having clean carpets when you want clean unstained carpets.
