This is why you should NOT buy WeatherTech floor mats.

[@courageous78]

I think it depends on the vehicle. I bought weather tech mats for 3 of my 4 vehicles and they fit perfectly. I couldn’t be more pleased. But the fourth vehicle they did not fit. Weather tech sent me the other mats they made for that vehicle as an exchange free shipping and I returned the ones that didn’t fit. All shipping was free. Their customer service is great.

[@redd7188]

Good point, if you own something common on the road like an F-150 you will be happy. There aren't nearly as many people buying floor liners for a BMW.

[@TommyLGarage]

I figured for such a big brand they’d do a better job with less common makes

[@phileas816]

Great insights Tommy, very helpful!

[@TommyLGarage]

Glad it was helpful!

[@darrylm79]

I went back and forth with the WT and the BMW ones. Ultimately, I chose BMW. NO complaints so far. Oh, for your cargo mat, for the creased area - I could recommend you take a heat gun and maybe try and re-bend that piece back to straight. That might work.

[@TommyLGarage]

Great idea about the heat gun!

[@oficina_moomoo]

I have weathertech for the m2 and they have been fine, the lip is fine, catches all the water but maybe the design is different. That said they are just fine, I think cost way too much for what they are worth. Summer I have coco mats and I love those.

[@TommyLGarage]

Definitely too expensive

Finally someone is calling out WeatherTech. WeatherTech has for the last few years charged premium pricing on mediocre products. Bought into all the "influencer" hype and purchased them for my M6 and my Cayenne GTS, the rear floor mats were literally paper thin compared to the fronts and nothing secured them down. As a result they just wobble/rattle around the interior with sub-par fitment. There's so many new products that actually have better designs and are cheaper that warrant me to never make a purchase from WeatherTech ever again.

[@memememine1]

Sad to see. I really like the WeatherTech products for my old 2011 Audi and 2013 911. What do company do you recommend. I'm trying to find some for my model 3 and Tesla doesn't make good OEM all weather mats.

[@Wasabi9111]

So true. For a couple of my cars I was able to find cheap floor mats on Amazon / eBay for a faction of the price w better fitment.

[@TommyLGarage]

So true!

Nice video. Getting my first BMW next week. My wife has weather tech and I currently have rubber mats in my car now. The weather techs are easier to clean and get to look good and I am constantly cleaning my rubber ones because they always look dirty. I do like the weather tech in the back though. Also the weather tech are real bulky

I've had weathertech mats in a 2012 escape, 2013 fusion, 2016 f150, 2020 altima, and a 2017 grand caravan. They are nice, but I think there are better options (or at least the same quality) for cheaper. I also had them for a 2021 rav4 (I knew I was buying the vehicle, and bought the mats before vehicle was delivered)- I ended up buying a rav4 that had the factory all weather mats. The factory mats were MUCH better than the weathertechs. I then bought a 2023 hyundai santa fe- weathertech mats were over $200..I found a company called 'lasfit' and bought their all weather mats. They have been fantasic, were less than half the price of WT and had a 30 (or more, I forget) money back guarantee if not happy with the mats.

[@TommyLGarage]

Agreed!!

[@GearsAndGains1]

They’re also plastic so when they’re wet they’re extremely slippery! Not good if you step first when getting in your car

[@TommyLGarage]

Yup!!

[@Leo.SKDXL05]

I'm glad you made this review, a review from a truly nonbias person with no skin in the game. I was considering weather tech for my Audi RS5 Sportback but saw this video and decided to stick with OEM and saved $60 and the fit as it should.

[@TommyLGarage]

Great choice!

On my Tesla the drivers side the WeatherTech curves like a belly dancer. I was having a hard time pushing the throttle down because the plastic alongside the throttle was dragging on the throttle. I took a paint stir stick and super glued it to the top side so it was straight. I have had these in all my vehicles over the years but this is the cheapest set I have ever owned. Don’t recommend these at all, at least not for a Tesla.

[@TommyLGarage]

Glad I’m not the only one!

I have those floor mats .. the front ones are nice but the back seat mat sucks. The corners end up losing the shape & folding inward. Such a waste of money.

[@muazqamar]

To be fair, that pedal design where the gas pedal is in the floor instead of the normal way (like brake pedal is) is flawed. You can never get a floor mat that will completely protect the carpet in that area no matter what kind of mat you use. I have an mk7 GTI and I've been using weathertech mats since I got the car and they are literally perfect because the gas pedal hangs from above, instead of protruding from the floor. The carpets underneath the front floor mats are flawless. My biggest complain from weathertech is their material quality. They get too slippery, to the point where it is unsafe to drive, when they are wet (every time I get a carwash I have to dry the mats before I can drive). If there is a crease or the mats develop a crease from usage, it is never coming out as demonstrated by your trunk/ cargo cover. The rear mats that I have in my car might as well be frisbees. They had a 2 inch lip all the way around to contain water/snow/salt when they were new, and now they are flat because they had creases in them and they didn't fit perfectly in their place when they were new. It's gotten to a point where they will slide underneath the front seats and I have to constantly keep pulling them out anytime someone uses the rear seats. However, credit where credit is due. They are the only plastic/rubber mats I've used (I've used 4 different brands/kinds) that don't stink when heat is on.

[@TommyLGarage]

You’re so right about the quality - super slippery! They have gotten worse over the years.
