Default WeatherTech Mats

Months later, how do those that have WeatherTech mats liking them? How are they holding up? How about front and rear trunk mats? I have a convertible and it doesn’t show anything available, but I would expect at least the floor mats would work.

Default Weathertech Floor Mats

Weathertech floor mats are not for me! They talked the talk on laser cut floor mats but but couldn't walk the walk on laser cut fitment. I tried all their suggestions for proper fitment then returned them!

My fourth set of weathertech mats. Three in Corvettes, one in a Mazda 6. Love them. They have all fit very well if not perfectly.

Any 'nice' vehicle driven in inclement weather [read: snow] months benefit bigly from WT liners.
While my Z06 is stored for Winter, our CTS & truck gets used all the time, regardless weather.
WT contains snow, water, salt & dirt so come Spring when removed, they're easily cleaned & stored for next season.
Carpets are pristine & ready for the Lloyd's matts which are as fresh as when removed.
W/o WT matts and carpet would be thoroughly trashed, stained w/ junk.

My .02, WT's are a wise investment for pricier rides used during Winter months.

I have the WeatherTech floor liners and a cargo liner in my C7 and love them. They sure protect the carpet areas.

I used to use Weathertech mats, but now I use a deep pile carpeted mat and just clean more. I cannot stand the feel of the hard plastic/rubber under foot. It feels cheap.

I've replaced many sets of floor mats, but the base carpet has always been fine.

Giant plastic mats just looks very cheap to me. It reminds me of beat up pickup trucks.

Hmm, surprised as we had their mats in our BMW X5 SUV, fit like a glove. The GM Jake Logo weather mats are made by Weathertech and mine fit like a glove.

No way was I going to live with the OEM Tan floor mats.

My grandmother used to have clear plastic cover on her "good" sofas and chairs. Looked and felt terrible, but the underlying fabric stayed fresh. I get the same feeling with plastic floor mats.

Jerry, I am with you. Also have the tan dipped interior, and wish the carpet mats were not the same light color. Have Weathertech and they fit fine. Only objection is I ordered their tan color, but it is not the same color and the interior. But, will live with it.
I do not spend all my time looking at the floor mats.
Ralph.

I have the Weathertech mats in my C8. They have the Jake logo in the frunk and trunk and the fit is excellent.
I have the interior Weathertech mats with the Jake logo and colorful Corvette flag logo. Perfect fit! Love em!

I just got off the phone with WeatherTech. Completely useless. There website says the laser fit mats are not available for the convertible. Talking to the phone number was was not helpful. They said they are not the same as the coupe. They said they are in development and would be 10-12 weeks. I asked if it was possible to talk to engineering or anyone besides sales, they said no. I did not dare ask about frunk and trunk mats.


Does anyone with a convertible have them or the factory weather mats?

That makes no sense, the floor area is exactly the same coupe or Vert.

Yeah, that’s what I told him. He recommended I confirm that with the dealer asking for the specifications.

The trunk may be a little different, but I don’t know for sure. The top park of the trunk is different because it doesn’t have the latches for the top.

I have a convertible and the factory weather mats. The trunk piece is different for the convertible, the floor mats are the same as the coupe. I really like them on the interior (and the trunks of course). They fit very snuggly and offer a lot of protection while still looking good, IMO. I have the twilight blue carpet and they look great. They would be great with black carpet too of course.
