Title: Weather Tech Floor mats
Post by: Greensleeves on June 15, 2013, 10:18:51 pm
Anyone try Weather Tech floor mats in an E450? Just wondering if they'll fit with our PC custom seats... Thanks

Yes, I bought them for my E450 and they fit perfectly.

So do the window deflectors! Sometimes a little cheaper to buy both together.  (cheer)

Did you get the floor mat or floor liner that has raised sides? I like the raised sides but they look like they would make little trip spots in the center, between the seats. However they would keep mud, snow and potentially kitty litter in an off the carpet, easy dump pan.

WEATHER TECH MATS   I just spent a few minutes looking at these,, they look great  however a little expensive,,, where did you buy them   FIND A DEAL ANYWHERE???  You know we all are looking for a good deal haha
 I think the ones I looked at on Amazon were 67.00
 
I took some cheap (about 12 dollars) single layer set of mats from walmart, cut them to fit all the curves in the front.. work great, but always looking for something better

I got the floor mat, the grooves are deep and the water and dirt end up in the grooves and not on the bottom of the shoes.  The floor liner does look like a trip hazard, and there are no deep grooves to trap water and dirt.

Don't recall where I got them or how much I paid.  I see that they are $55 on the WeatherTech website, don't know what the shipping is.  They are expensive but they fit the contours and do a great job of trapping water and dirt.

I would love to see pictures of the Weather Tech floorsmats, passenger and driver.  I wonder how they address the no-lip condition.  The E350/E450 does not have a floor pan bowl as do all other vehicles.

I am heading out to pickup grandkids staying with us for a week, I will post pictures later.

I have Weathertech mats in two of my cars and love them. I've tried cheaper mats but they just didn't work with our NH winters. The Miata doesn't have them but its off the road from December to April.

I haven't cleaned the RV since last trip, you can see how well the debris is trapped in the grooves.  The outside forward corners of both mats are cutout because the floor is humped up there.  The thickness of the mat is 7/16", they have not been a problem at that thickness.

Thanks bobander, Very much!

They fit perfectly.

I had it in my head they were some kind of tray style mats, but surely can't be given there are no walls to follow upward.

Do they stay in place good?  Or do they move around a lot?

Ron, the floor "mats" are the ones shown above. Weather tech also has the tray style floor "liners" which would probably be a trip hazard in the center since there is no raised floor there.

Ron,

They stay in place very well, they have ribs and protrusions on the bottom that dig into the carpet.  After the last 2500 mile trip they moved forward about 1/2 inch.  Also, they are made in the USA!

Thanks all for the info on the floor mats. I expect we'll be ordering the mats for the Cruiser and the liners for the toad. We like to play in the mud and it's best to put these things in place BEFORE you trash the carpets. Having the pics is awesome. Thanks bobander, that made it easy to see what will work. A helpful to you for the effort on our behalf.

Yes, this is a great forum for asking questions and getting help, I have benefited from the wisdom of others and am always glad to help when I can.  Thanks for the "helpfuls".

Ditto here!

I am not yet sure we will buy them, but if we buy anything, it will be Weather Tech.  The factory is in Bowlingbrook IL, maybe 40 miles away.  They advertise Made Here In The Chicago Area, so I'd surely support a good product made in the USA.

5 years back I bought OEM carpeted floor mats and they are holding up nicely so far.  Admittedly our dirt is mostly in the tow vehicle where I have Weather Tech tray-style mats.  I bought the carpetted mats for our PC for comfortable stocking foot driving.

Oh no, Ron! I just flashed on an image of you cruising down the road in your jammies and socks happily sipping coffee while your wife surfs the web at the dinette. A happy RV family!
