Rubber mats for whole car and trunk?

[nzwasp]

What’s the recommended brand for 3rd party rubber mats for your car?

The Infiniti we are buying only comes with the fabric mats which we have never used on any of our vehicles.

[Mitsu3000gt]

Best I have found are the Phantom mats from Costco (they are re-branded Tuxmats). They cover a lot more than the most expensive laser scanned Weather Techs, at least for the vehicles I have checked. They even have pieces to anchor them under your trim. Super cheap too at $199.

I don't think they have a trunk liner though, may have to go to Weather Tech or the dealer for that one.

[rx7boi]

If you're buying new, can dealership throw them in?

Otherwise, WeatherTech seems to be the go-to from what I've read. They are laser scanned and cut with accuracy and should suit your needs.

[D'z Nutz]

If you're looking for laser scanned mats, WeatherTech is the most popular but from what I've read Max Liner, Smart Liners, and Husky Liners can potentially be better solutions. I say "potentially" because it really depends on the car you have cause some models' mats may be better cut than others. I've read that Max Liners and Husky Liners are sometimes thicker than WeatherTech, but again, depends on the car they're going into.

3D Maxpider is on sale on costco.ca. Similar to weathertech.

I've always just ordered weathertec and been very happy. But perhaps there are better options.

Buying used

Used to go weather techs but for the wife's car went with Husky Liners... been pretty happy with both. Nice thing about the Husky is that the liner goes up further up the dead pedal than the weather techs.

If its a Q50, I got brand new winter floor mats I never used since I purchased Weathertech liners instead.

As others have mentioned, Weathertech is good but sometimes it doesn't fit perfect. Mine has a flap that was moulded wrong so it doesnt sit flush to the side panelling so theres a gap. Not a big deal. I know on Amazon/Ebay/Aliexpress, you have those China sellers that sell complete coverage floor liners in fancy designs/leathers and plastic. Looked too gaudy for me to put in my car

But the Trunk Liner from Weathertech fit perfectly.

[bjstare]

I’ve not been super impressed with the weather tech mats I got for my wife’s car. They have decent coverage but are quite hard to get in and out, and don’t clean up very easily. Not to mention the fit is not perfect.

The OEM all weather mats in my S4 are considerably better in every respect. For future cars, I’ll probably be considering OEM more than I would have previously.

[redblack]

I use to only buy weathertec mats but I tried some mats made by findway. I like them much better and they are not slippery when wet like the weathertecs

+1 oem

Have you asked Infiniti for pricing on the oem rubber mats? You might be surprised on how close they are in price to after market.

[Mitsu3000gt]

Max coverage --> Phantom/Tuxmat

Max durability --> Husky / Weather Tech (Husky is a bit better IMO).

Personally I go for coverage, but everyone has different priorities. They are also cheap enough that if they somehow wear out you can just buy another set. I also find that when detailing, the Phantom/Tuxmats easier to clean to 100%, they aren't like traditional mats that need to be scrubbed and pressure washed 2-3 times to get them looking like new, but YMMV of course.

Check your exact car too, sometimes certain mat brands fit a bit better than others so one brand may not be universally better than another.

+1 for Husky, I have them in my truck and in my old Jeep as well, fit perfect and held up really well.

[ExtraSlow]

Subscribed because I'm planning for future f150 accessories.

In our 2012 odyssey we went with a mix of husky and weather tech. Likes the texture of the weather tech better. But I'll bet things have changed in the last 8 years.

Its a QX80 I will check the dealer. and Costco. Im still trying to figure out what I need to do to fit this beast into my garage.

Called Infiniti

For the front and 2nd row the mats are $213 incl tax
for the trunk its $230 and the mats go about half way across the folded down 3rd row seats which doesnt seem ideal.

Do you carry these?

The Costco website only does some infiniti models, however not my model.

[max_boost]

I like Weathertec but have not tried the other recommended ones.

[Tik-Tok]

I've only tried Husky and WeatherTec with several vehicles and much prefer Husky. The material is more rubbery and less slippery, it goes up higher in the back, and doesn't curl in -20.

[flipstah]

Is the rubber thicker on the Husky Tik-Tok?

I find my WeatherTech mats to be thin and agreed, slippery.

I love my Luxmat!

[Disoblige]

I have Husky front, rear and full trunk liner. Love it and like it more than Weathertech.

The tuxmat stuff looks intriguing because pricepoint is quite cheap.

[yipb]

I've used husky liners and they were very durable. Seemed better than weathertech. That being said, there's $40 off maxpider at costco and I plan on trying them. https://www.costco.ca/3d-maxpider-mat-custom-fit-all-weather-car-mats%3b-row-1-and-2-only.product.10367254.html

edit: just saw you already tried looking for your car

[Tik-Tok]

Is the rubber thicker on the Husky Tik-Tok?

I find my WeatherTech mats to be thin and agreed, slippery.

I think the thickness is about the same, but the WeatherTech material is more like hard plastic, and Husky is more rubbery.

Because of the Weathertech hardness, I found the edges curled in our winters. Especially in my wife's Jeep. Below -10, the front curls so much you hit it with the clutch pedal.

[eblend]

Had Weathertech before and now have Husky. Don't recall much about WeatherTech ones, think they were alright, but love the Husky on my current car, so would get those again most likely. Like the rubber feel over some of the other type of mats.

[C4S]

I used to have the big rubber mat for the trunk too, but not anymore... only rubber floor mats.

Reversible trunk mat is good..

[GTR_Auto]

Do you carry these?

yup!

[Mitsu3000gt]

Costco sells them for $199, they are re-branded "Phantom" but they are literally Tuxmats but cheaper and with Costco warranty. You just plug in your car on their website through the "Request Consultation" button and you're good to go.

We've been super happy with our sets so far.

I’ve had Luxmats in my 2015 Santa Fe since the first week I bought the car.

I took them out this week to wash them, there’s holes where the mat clips are covered.

Wouldn’t buy again as a result.

Edit: looks like they fixed that and now utilize the retention clips. I’m going to try a warranty claim.

Edit2: Found the receipt, I bought them in 2018. Nice fucking memory moron.

[ThePenIsMightier]

^check with your wife first.
Be considerate of OP.

[suntan]

I got 3D MAXpider for the new Kona. Better than the Tuxmats and cheaper by a lot. They’re $40 off at Costco.ca for a few more days!
