POS Lexus All Weather Floor Mats

I reported this in another thread a few weeks ago. Yeah they're really soft and thin for all weather mats. Mine became worn through all the way to the carpet where the heel pivots. I told my service manager that the mats are only about a year old and that even my cheap Costco all weather mats that I paid 30 bucks for on my other car are still in perfect condition. Those Costco mats are over 5 yrs old too. I asked him if there's any warranty on floor mats because I paid over 100 something bucks for them and for the mats to be worn out already is just totally BS. He just replaced my mats no questions asked. I'm really dissapointed at the mats but the service manager was awesome. You guys should complain maybe they'll give you a new set too.

Are we all talking about the same Lexus OEM all-weather rubber mats with the sculpted channels?? I bought my car a couple of weeks ago and negotiated that they be "thrown in". I always get all weather mats on my cars and haven't had problems with other dealer installed versions. These didn't seem cheaper or thinner in any way.
I actually went out to the garage and checked them after reading this thread. I have a hard time believing that someone's heel can burrow through to the carpet. I mean, how heavy, big are your guys/gals feet ?
Oh well, guess I'll find out and report back... At least they were "free".

you know i thought the same thing, how could these mats rip? they are sooo thick and heavy but its true , mine ripped actually less than a year of having them, so i just put a clear mat underneath so my heel doesnt rip my carpet, but im thinking of calling my dealership and see what they say...im thinking they wont replace because its just wear n tear...

I ripped through my driver's side mat in about 10 months. Injured my achilles tendon on my right leg so I had a huge knee down boot on which I drove with, mat wore through so fast.
While it looks tough, its not - the rubber/vinyl is soft and wears quickly.
Ended up buying another set, anyone need the passenger side plus 2 rear mats cheap? Lol.

My friend step on some poop and I threw my passenger mat away because I was too lazy to clean it.

No it's not all about the driver and the quality of the mats are not fine. I have had several sets of all weather mats in other cars and none wore through as fast as these. This is a problem with these lexus mats not the driver.

Yeah I think the thin clear mats are better for durability because they're a harder plastic/rubber whereas the all weather Lexus mats are pencil eraser head soft rubber. Even though my service manager gave me a second set of mats free I think they're going to wear out just as fast as my first set. I think I'm going to buy a set of cheap thin clear plastic mats to put under my all weathers for when it does.

didn't mean "the driver" should have said "the person."
