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.
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.
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.
ive had weather techs in a kia koup, genesis coupe, camaro ss1le, and ford fiesta st they all fit nice, look good, and are easy to clean im hoping the ones i just ordered for my fiances s5 are as good
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.
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.
Very cool mod with the puddle lights! I went with the OEM weather mats from BMW. The black with red trim which match my car. Always was curious what else was out there. I know The Straight Pipes are always plugging Tux Mats 🤔
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.
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.
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.
I have been a long time Weathertech fan but recently went with Husky because they design was much better. A bit disappointing that the quality from this very reputable brand isn’t as great as it used to be.
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.
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.
Weathertech products are average in quality but there prices are so ridiculous. I would bet there markup is probably 700 to 1000 %. The last thing I bought was the cupfone, fits terrible in my ford f150 for $65 it is quite a joke. I don’t buy there sh*t any more.

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.
I figured for such a big brand they’d do a better job with less common makes
Great insights Tommy, very helpful!
Glad it was helpful!

Great idea about the heat gun!

Definitely too expensive
Last set of Weathertechs I bought STUNK LIKE HELL! Terrible off gassing.
They must have changed their supplier
I got the 3D mats for my x5. Look into those. They’re fantastic
ive had weather techs in a kia koup, genesis coupe, camaro ss1le, and ford fiesta st they all fit nice, look good, and are easy to clean im hoping the ones i just ordered for my fiances s5 are as good
Glad to hear you've had good luck with them.

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.
So true!
I’m glad I saw this comment because I went to go look for mats for my gf, 2015 Chevrolet Cruze and they want $220 like WTF 😐😐😐
Please provide link for the door lights.

Tux mats don’t sit well with me :)

What about Lasfit? Got them for my 3 series and enjoy them

Congrats on the upcoming bmw !!
Thanks for the information of water going to carpet floor
No problem 👍 which one did you end up getting ?
Where did you get the heritage puddle lights, no links amigo?

Agreed!!
They’re also plastic so when they’re wet they’re extremely slippery! Not good if you step first when getting in your car
Yup!!
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.
Great choice!
Get 3D Maxspider floormats instead
Will try
I'll definitely am going to try the 3D MAXpider mats
Yes, those are awesome
That screw on the pedal is worth protecting I had to use a screw extractor to remove the pedal because the screw was completely rusted
That’s why I needed a set that protects that area
I have OEM BMW winter floor mats in my cars, and they are awesome!!!
Glad you like them!
Where do you get the hooks to clip in the weather tech?
They came with the package
I have a change of boots . And also you have to run the floor vents
Change of boots? How? You’ll always bring snow inside.
Thank you for this video I was going to get some for my m550i won’t be buying anymore
Good call!
Are thesr the HPor regular floormats
Yes
I love TuxMats
Yeyy!!

Glad I’m not the only one!
Exact same issue with my weather techs for my 2020 grand cherokee. Stock is way better. Especially for the $400 price tag.
Agreed!
thats nice blue is that portimao blue?
Thank you. Marina bay blue
They fit and work great in my wifes Hyundai Elantra. Six years later they are still perfect. So this is not a universil problem with Weather Tech.
Are yours soft ?
You rocking a Breitling?
Yes that’s my favorite daily

Yup!!
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.
I ended up getting just the front mats and leaving stock mats in the rear..then again I have a m6 coupe so who cares what's back there for me
I ended up just keeping oem ones
Never had problems with mine maybe they're bad for Beamers
Same with Tesla
Yeah there are better products on the market now. Weather tech just keeps doing what they were doing 10 yrs ago
Yup!
you should it got the hp ones.
Aaahhhh

You’re so right about the quality - super slippery! They have gotten worse over the years.
Try tux mats i had weather tec for 1 week and sent the grash back.
Okay will do!
My left ear thanks you.
Hahaha
I disagree super hard on this man.
My weather tech mats have lasted years with a great fit
On the M5?
@@TommyLGarage on…. A Kia Rio?
OEM all day
Yes!
🤯🤯🤯
Precisely!
I have never been a fan of WeatherTech mats.
Get Tux Mats...way better than WT
Even for this platform ?
@@TommyLGarage if the car is older than 2019, you may be right they dont make them that old
tuxmats are better than weathertech
How so ?
Tux mat is the only way to go weather tec are trash.
No. Absolutely not.
