Default Lloyd Ulti-Craps

Am I the only one who has issues with the LLoyd mats falling apart within a month or two?

Everytime I clean my carpet I got these massive carpet fur-***** , and now I have a bonafide hole in the carpet , right down to the rubber base.

The OEM mats don't look very good, and are thin as paper, but they never wore a hole in them in many years of use.

These Lloyd mats have lasted less then 2 months ....pretty much a waste of money

I think they come in 3 different quality levels. Luxe, Ultimat, and velour...I have the Ultimat with zero issues after 3 seasons.

Have you contacted the Vendor that you ordered them through??
Unfortunately I purchased these through a person and not a vendor, but they were brand new, unused still in the plastic

I started noticing hairballs after about a week

Within 6 months these things are gonna have a huge bald patch worn in the middle

Whew! When I glanced at that first photo I was almost sure there was new photographic evidence released in connection with the Trump campaign!

I had a set of top-of-the-line Lloyds for several years - ultra-plush - and never had a problem with them?

Mine have almost exactly the same wear spot, nearly right through the entire thing over the course of 5 years and 23,000 miles.

I don't like them either, had a set and they were showing wear within a year and I got rid of them before it got bad... I think the people with autos don't have as many issues since they aren't using their left foot for the clutch... the stock mats work the best in my opinion due to the heel pad

It could be you got a counterfeit product. I bought mine from WCC and received a product that delivered as the reputation for top quality promised.

What kind of warranty and paperwork came with the mats?

My Lloyd's mats look brand new after two years and 30,000 miles. Your experience is unacceptable. Counterfeit might be an answer, but it seems like an awfully small market for a counterfeiter to go after.

I have had several sets of the Lloyds mats on several cars. Never had a problem at all with them, but I did have a friend with a 15 Z28 and his mats did the same thing as your. Lloyds replaced them for him. But he also bought new.

The mat in the picture looks pretty cheesy. Not like the Lloyds mats I've had over the years. I think they are cheap fleabay fakes. I'll make you a deal on a Rolex I've got laying around, if you are interested.

I've had several sets of Lloyd's mats in different cars over the years, including my C5. Never has the quality been a problem. I, too, wonder if you didn't get a knockoff set.
