Default Do you use Weathertech floor liners?

Yep, what the title says.

I'm considering their black rubberoid version for our car. If you have/had them, what did you think of their appearance and fit? How much, if any, did they interfere with your normal foot or leg movements? (Most important - Did they add 10-15 HP? )

TIA for your thoughts!

I have them and like them. No problems with fitment or restrictions.

I have used Weather Tech floor liners and cargo tray covers for many of our vehicles, both here in Maine and when living in Texas. The fit and finish is perfect. I once bought an off brand and it was a piece of crap. Also, I once ordered a set of Weather Tech floor liners from Amazon, they did not fit and had trouble returning them. I have not put them in any of our Corvettes, they are stored in the winter.

Just traded 14 for 19 and this one has light grey interior. I will have trim shop sew heavy gauge clear plastic on the top of the mats. Weather Tech to me sounds like muddy, slushy type weather mats.

For a generic low cost rubber mat that will add a bit of color to your interior, I’ve found these to work pretty good. Nothing real fancy, but they fit well. But YMMV. 😀. I have them in my white C7 and a Mustang GT, both with a red interior. Also included a picture of them in a former Miata.


They are from AR Racing and found on Amazon.

I have used the WeatherTech floor and cargo liners in my C5s and now my C7, as well as in our daily drivers. The fit is perfect, they do not interfere with foot movement or leg movements (no reason to, they sit flush with the floor and the turned up portion of the liner is up against the footwell sides), and best of all, they keep the carpet in mint condition. I recommend them, but whether you want them is your choice.

And your HP numbers are a bit inaccurate - it is more like 20 rwhp by adding the liners (verified by the butt-o-meter dyno).

I use them in our winter vehicles and like them.

I don't like generic rubber floormats, too many experiences with terrible offgassing.

I've used WeatherTech floor liners in my C6 Corvette, a Porsche Cayman S, my wife's Mustang GT and my C7 Corvette. I have always ordered direct from the factory and the fit and finish have been perfect each time. If you choose a color that matches the carpet, you barely notice them (other than the very nice-looking 'WeatherTech' logo). They solve any isseus regarding wet shoes or water on the floorboard, but they work just as well in summertime catching grass/rocks, etc. off of shoes. No odor whatsoever, and they are so much simpler to vacuum and then wipe clean than regular carpet.

I have them on my C7 and the more full coverage floorliner are the only ones durable enough to not wear through. I usually wear through right below clutch pedal with the normal all-weather rubber ones in about 2 years.

And for those who don't like the WeatherTech emblem -- there are aftermarket emblems to replace them -- like this Grand Sport version.

Looks like a pretty good consensus - y'all seem happy with the mats. I'm going to make that move myself.

Thx for all your replies!

You went for the high-perf version, didn't you Jack? I stayed with the standard ones.

Now that is a nice addition. I haven't found it on a few aftermarket sites I looked at. Do you recall where you bought it/them?

I have had mine for several years, and I really like them. They don't interfere with anything.

I have the rubber? compartment liner in the back of our Explorer. The unit slides back on the carpeting and has to be constantly realigned so the rear hatch will close. I put double sided tape on it this morning. We’ll see how that works. The unit was a little disappointing considering the price. The jury is still out.

I have them in my current C7 and had them in my 2014. They are easier to clean than the carpet. Fitment is great!
