Not to be a troll, but this is a nice car, not something to haul muddy stuff in. I do have Weathertech in my F-150. They are OK. For what it is worth, I don't think they are worth the price. Too flimsy.

On both of our previous C6's, and now the new C7- I bought a Lloyds trunk mat (Ultimat). Always a light color. Scotchgarded before use and once each year, the last one still looked good at 8 yrs/102k miles.
For the C7, I bought light grey which somewhat matches the silver/grey trim in the black (actually, dark grey) cockpit. It changes the trunk from a black hole where I need a flashlight to find small objects, to brighter and more functional for me.
More to your point, the Lloyds mats have a waterproof rubber backing. We don't haul firewood in the car, but if something might be a little damp or dirty, we flip the mat over so the rubber side is up. When we unload the cargo: take the mat out, wipe off the rubber, let dry for a couple of minutes and reinstall.
If we have something that might slide around, we can also flip the mat.
Pretty, and functional.

I have Weathertechs in my other car. It's weird, the front mars are really nice, the ones for the back are really thin. I think they'd hold up fine back there though, I would worry if you had a dog romping on them. If you're just putting lighter stuff on them, you should be fine. I don't think they'd help with stuff slipping around though.

I just bought the front mats and the cargo mat. They fit fine, but IMO ugly for such a beautiful car. I bought them sight unseen (kinda stupid) and to my surprise they seemed to be a plastic not a rubber material. All the similar type mats I have had for my other cars were a rubber material which is what I was looking for. Guess I'll see if the Weathertech mat holds up like the others I have had. Thing is, Weathertech seems to be the only game in town if you want something other than carpet. Would I buy again - no.
