`
`Waterprooffloor mats and cargo liners do much more than makeclean up easier. Wetake a look at the industry leader.
`
`If your brain brings up imagesof shopping at Zayre’s for floor mats to go into an Olds Delmont 88
`
`(https://bestride.com/cars/Used/Oldsmobile/Delta+88), you may have gotten the wrong impression. When | was coming up,
`
`aftermarket floor mats didn’t fit — any car. You’d size them up at the automotive aisle next to linens and draperies and take
`
`them out to the parkinglot full of hope. As soon as they wereon the floor you hated them and yourself for buying them.
`
`They curled at the corners and ended up under the pedals in a mess. Those days ended when MacNeil Automotive
`
`(http://;www.weathertech.com/) began making WeatherTechfloor mats right here in the U.S. of A.

`PRODUCT REVIEW: WeatherTech Floor Mats and Trunk Cargo Liners | BestRide
`
`(https://bestride.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/20 15/09/weatehr-tech-measure.png)The secret to the WeatherTechfloor mat
`
`fitting inside your new Audi Q3 (https://bestride.com/blog/review-20 16-audi-q3-2-0tfsi-quattro-notable-because-of-what-it-
`
`has-and-does-not-have/23418/) or older Chevy Silverado (https://bestride.com/cars/Used/Chevrolet/Silverado+2500HD)is
`
`that the companyactually measuresthe floor in the vehicle (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWIkEcfc7I8) and then
`
`makes mats thatfit. This simple, but revolutionary concept means that when you buy a matfrom the companyit dropsin
`
`perfectly every time. Having used the WeatherTech mats in a 2003 Accord (https://bestride.com/cars-for-
`
`sale/make/Honda/model/Accord), a trunk-liner in a 2006 Accord, full floor mats front and rear in a 2007 Highlander
`
`(https://bestride.com/cars-for-sale/make/toyota/model/highlander), and mostrecently, a cargo matin a 2013 BMW X3
`
`(https://bestride.com/cars-for-sale/make/bmw/model/x5), we can attest to the fit and quality of the products. They also stay
`
`put because they have the sameretention holes as the automaker’s mats.

`PRODUCT REVIEW:WeatherTech Floor Mats and Trunk CargoLiners | BestRide
`
`(https://bestride.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/weather-tech-trunk.png)So why buy a matortrunk liner? One
`
`reasonis to keepthe inside of your car from smelling. Anywhere it snowsyou will be dragging slush andice into your car
`
`with your boots. That stuff has no place to go. Cars are waterproof. That slush and mucksits there in the footwell and
`
`starts to get nasty. The WeatherTech floor mats have a pleasant surprise. When thatliquid is on top of a rubber mat,it
`
`dries from the heat vents, unlike in cars with carpeted mats. Clean-up of a WeatherTech mat is easy. Remove, hose
`
`it down, give it a quick wipe, and in they go again for the summer, keeping beach sand and soccercleat mud off the floor. ay

`(https://bestride.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/2015-09-09-13.09.48.jpg)BestRide’s Craig Fitzgerald, who owns and
`
`restores older SUVs, saysthat floor mats like these are one of the six best ways to combat rust and rot
`
`(https://bestride.com/blog/6-ways-to-prevent-rust-this-winter/24130/) of the floor pan of your ride. Werecently called out
`
`luxury automakersfor putting cream-colored carpetin the back of $85K luxury SUVs(https://bestride.com/blog/four-ways-
`
`mainstream-vehicles-top-luxury-models/23894/). Get a proper floor mat for the back. As the saying goes, winteris
`
`coming. What are you waiting for?
