Thanks to this forum’s recommendation I have the top of the line Weather Tech floor liners in my daily driver. They fit like they were poured in place for my car. No gaps, not one fit issue and I’m picky as hell. I love that these were made in the USA. The quality it amazing. They fit my factory mat hold down posts as designed.
My initial fear about these being slippery when wet has been dispelled. I have driven in pouring rain and some light snow in timberlands, sneakers and dress shoes and have not experienced and slip issues. I believe these will Best contain any mess from Sand, water and snow.
I’m not sure what happens say if you get a clogged drain and the carpet under the liner gets wet. You won’t know it until you smell it or the floor board rusts out ? It’s a lease so I’m not overly concerned. I live my DD life 39 months at a time lol. A small view window molded into the Liner would give me some confidence.
The feel as you get in is something I’m still not used to. The hard plastic feels unfinished to me as I’ve become accustomed to the soft carpet feel. Yes I’m getting Old I guess. I though I’d get used to it quickly but in the few weeks I’ve had them I’m still not loving that particular aspect. I’m also keeping them so it’s not too bad either. A velvet type finish that my wife All weather mats is much nicer feeling and quieter. Those are the BMW factory all weather mats the dealer threw in with the deal in addition to the plush carpet mats.
The weather tech liners never look really clean except after I just clean them and until the first rain. After cleaning them, all it takes is one Lite rain and it leaves a dirty mess on the liners that the carpets hide. The plus side on the weather tech is a quick wipe with a MF and some waterless wash and the WT liners are perfectly clean in seconds. Vacuuming the WT is also quick and easy. I’d say vacuuming is 4x less time consuming.
My conclusion is I will own weather tech mats for every car I drive in the winter. And carpet mats for the summer. This way my carpet mats that come with the lease will make it 3 years since they get 9 months less wear over 3 years. I might change my mind after a summer at the beach so I’ll update this after the summer and the Sand.
