Ordered a set of the WeatherTech Laserfits mats for '04 F250. When I installed them I was hoping they fit better
If someone else has a set do they sit over the door sill? They seem to move around the floor as there wasn't something on the underside to decrease the friction on the floormat/carpet.
Have the same in my truck. They do leave a lot to be desired for what is expected.
Mine cover all three of the dimples on the door sill and the drivers side does not shift. Yours look to fit better then mine. Lots of waviness in it, not flush against the carpet much at all. They were a gift, came from amazon, and i just went with it. Had them about 3 years now. Same wobbly fit. Never changed. Haven't cleaned them in probably 6-8 months.
You need to change your thread title and some of your wording. Looks like you're praising weathertech when you aren't.
Which is why i never bought the rear and cargo mats from them. Still need the cargo area though. Just been cleaning the hell outta it everytime i load something back there.
Maybe that's why mine look they way they do. I'll clean em today and see. It's been a while lol.
Imo. Could have been much more thought out.
The fronts also don't fit too well ether.
And the rear just wants to curl up.
But in my cummins, and in my previous Silverado, the fit was great.
I do agree on the cleaning, I have the gray ones in my 6.0 and had tan in my silverado, they are tough to keep clean.
But the black in my cummins is great, and they fit very well. 6.0 is definitely the worst fit out of the 3 trucks I've had them in
I've got 'em in my Expedition and thought they fit quite well, also not that tough to clean with a pressure washer and a little Simple Green, but I'm not trying to get them clean enough to eat off of either.
Glad I saw this though, was thinking of getting a set for my truck. Just got a generic set from Sam's in it now.

That's all I do. Degreaser and a stiff bristle brush, then power wash.
But give it 2 weeks and it looks the same all over again lol. I think the gray is the worst at showing marks.
Thanks for the replys. Was hoping the accidentally send a different model but that's not the case. The back ones didn't even cover to the door sill. Guess this is one of the cases where you don't get what you pay for. I'll try the Husky brand.
My truck had Weather Techs in front and back when I bought it. What I didn't like about them was they didn't sell a liner for the middle hump in the front & the lip on the edge of the outside wasn't deep enough for the messes I make ). I immediately bought a full set of Husky liners from Cabelas (got a great deal and had a $25 off coupon) and have never looked back. They just fit better and they don't move around like the Weather Techs do.
I'll throw my comment in the mix that my WeatherTechs leave a lot to be desired. I had a set in my VW GTI and they fit awesome. Not so much in my truck. They were a gift from my wife soooooo I just learn to live with them until someone breaks in and steals them :-D
This is quite disappointing. I was really looking forward to buying these... Im not too hype on the other brands, none of the other ones seem to go over the door sill. I would be livid if I paid $200 and they were floppy. I can buy floppy ones at wal-mart.
The ones from Lund go partially over the door sill. They don't slide around either. The drivers side on mine fits about perfect, the passenger side fits good, but not as tight as the drivers side. I'm guessing after a few hot days this summer it will mold itself a little better.
I bought the cargo weather tech mat for the excursion and it's ok. Glad this topic was brought up since I have never hesitated to by weather tech for my other vehicles. Looks like the searching what to use in the first and second row continues.
I'd hope so. It's basically a rectangle. Got any pics? Probably not worth the price since any off brand should be able to make a rectangle mat for the cargo area.
I'd also like to see some real life photos of the husky mats. Preferably in an excursion, and for the second row seats with captains chairs... ya, im reaching.
F250 pic would work to.
I wonder if some light heat will help. Maybe throw it in the oven or use a really light torch to heat the underside lay it out and apply some pressure with some wet towels.
My truck had some thick rubber mats when I bought it in 07, they're still in there now working great, I don't think they have a name on them though.
They also don't cover the sides any but I live in Louisiana so I'm always walking in mud and haven't had any issues.
I got weathertech for my previous truck (an 04) and my wifes 2010 Expedition. Fit great in the expo. Never fit good in the 04 F250 though. I recently got an 05 F250 and went with Husky heavy duty mats which fit quite well for much less (about $60). I like the material better as well.
Awesome, I just got an 05 and the lariat tan floors are immaculate so I was looking into Weather Tech due to them fitting real well in my Cummins. Glad I came on here to see what everyone is saying. Looks like I'll try out Husky then.
