I had weather tech before in a z71 tahoe and after 3 years all seasons never ever laid correctly, curling corners, warpy side walls etc..
Sure they can hold 2 gallons of fluid but...
Expensive and junky looking.

Bump as winter is on it's way again.... Maybe someone should bump all the CCV system clogged up postings (X5 smokes, runs rough, oil all over the place postings) from last winter. The 3.0 and 4.4 guys and gals will be facing those issues if they have not done a pre-winter replacement/ clean out.

Good thoughts to all of you up near the Great Lakes, keep them up right in all that lake effect snow dump you are getting. Good luck to one and all.

Order them today as here on the East Coast snow is forcasted this week. Most likely will be nothing more than rain ...but hell the commuters are already queing up to abandon their cars on the DC Beltway today!

I have used the WeatherTech liners in multiple vehicles and recommend to one and all. I have them in my X5 and my rain vehicle a Dodge Minivan. Makes it easy to clean up after hauling car parts, rescue dogs and yard products stuff from Home Depot.
I have the non-Weathertech style BMW soft rubber floormats for years now but I find they don't capture just the amount I wish they could. the high sides of the Weathertech design may be what I'm looking for.
thantks for the link. I did not know Weathertech made "BMW" mats.

Weathertech, one of the few company that hasn't moved from Illinois, but they did locate the company outside of Crook County.

Weathertechs are good, BUT, look at the driver and passenger mats in the pictures above. Notice the rear most and outer most corners are NOT raised. I have a somewhat steep driveway. If the mats have a decent amount of water, out the corner it drains. The rears are better, but that's where the kids sit, so the mats usually get REALLY full, so - up the hill and out the corners they drain .

My setup:

Seating area: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Cargo: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I love that cargo mat. I'll take it over OEM or Weathertek over and over. It's a perfect fit around the tie-down tabs on the sliding cargo deck, totally fluid proof, looks great. I had that company's interior set in my old 4.4i and they were solid too, though not quite a perfect fit around the gas pedal.

I have OEM rubber mats in the rear, my kids are mucky buggers and in the front I have OEM carpet mats. I would say, I have washed these in my washing machine with some 'Vanish' and they came out like new. I was very happy, on a 40c gentle wash with low spin then dry them somewhere warm.
