Weathertech and Huskys side by side.
I ordered Huskys and will def use in front, likely 2nd row too, as hump has some treads, and WT 2nd row do not fit.
So I have installed both mat sets as of today.
Yup using all of them...
....naw read on...
One great thing about both - no rubbery or chemical smell at all.
FYI Husky directions mention to clean with water+soap, or GlassPlus/409.
They specifically mention using ArmorAll or Son of a Gun will make the mats slick
Drivers mat;
WT-drivers mat has very good floor snaps, perfect fit and reaches top of foot well all around the back edge, very rigid. Bottom is smooth.
Only covers half of foot rest, & coverage for the rest is good.
H-not as rigid as WT, molded areas are less sharp but are still an accurate fit.
H-drivers has no floor 'snaps', but has instead the covered floor holes fit over the floor posts with no locking.
Bottom has good amount of spikes and they are sharp!
Does not seat as well as WT right out of the box, but will see tomorrow when driving and they straighten out a bit.
-H covers entire left foot rest, and then goes up a tad over that & goes over to the right and all the way around. Good coverage.
-H covers the carpet between the Explorer door entry logo and the drop off into the foot well, it doesn't extend any further towards the door edge.
Its a good fit but since its not as rigid or any more weighted on this part, in the winter i'm sure some slush would get under the lip, but, it at least covers that part.
There is a slight lip that folds back & over the top, in 2 spots on the back edge, where your heels would be, which is nice.
Passenger front:
Fit is good on both, WT and H dont seem to move.
2nd Row (bench) liner.
H seems a tad taller around the door edges and back edge.
Perfect fit, lots of spikes, and H instructions show how to trim hump cover for 2nd row console option.
The hump top has nice looking treads, designed in 2 'blocks'.
A large block, and on the back part against the middle seat base, & a short 'block'.
This short block would be trimmed away to allow for a console.
FYI - called WT today and inquired about my 2nd row liner.
I asked if it was supposed to sit 2" away from the center back & rear sides of the hump, while the rest of the hump is a perfect fit.
They said yes, due to molding process.
(It just has this gap all around the back of the hump, looks out of place, however the rear hump end is also flared, as if it were possibly made for a console? and if no console, its just a gap? but its too short for a console, so no idea.)
3rd row
I kept the WT, did not order the Huskys.
I'm returning some items to WT, things I didnt use. Cust service was nice, and waived shipping on an exchange that I did for window visors.
Huskys I ordered thru Amazon, free shipping and its Amazon, so if any returns its easy.
Huskys are great. Didnt even notice the mat today driving.
2nd row looks better, the treads on top of the hump look WAY cooler,
and these mats are a smooth glossier black.
The hump is very noticeable in the 2nd row-that center part looks now cleaner now, & a tad glossier. Even scuffed and dirty it looks better.
The WT mat looked grey/brown dusty with scuffs because of their all-over texture trapping dirt. Plus that gap was awful.
The WT's have a micro-texture and have a more matt look to them.
They are really nice in front especialy with that red black logo-looks awesome.
Great pics of Huskys here by another member as well as his mods:
