Default weathertech mats

I am thinking of getting these do you think it is worth it to spend $300? About $100 is for the cargo mat in the back, which I have to cut but maybe I will just fold it up if I need to use the 3rd row. That way if I want to go get mulch or soil in bags and they leak I don't have to worry about.

The original mats are pretty dirty but the main gripe is the rears kept sliding forward (seems too small) and no protection over the hump. and the new OEM mats are priced very Affordable too.

The only resevation I had against the WTs is that you lose that plush feeling, and the price.

Not sure how much discount, but a few of our CL vendors sell Weathertech products

I've got front and 2nd row, as well as the cargo mats, they're excellent. We're dealing with winter 1/2 the year here, so you just can't do without.

I have front and second row, they catch all the dirt and watery stuff, just came back from camping it really protects the carpet the best.

I'd pass on the rear cargo mat if you don't carry a lot of stuff. They are well worth the money and look fantastic. I got mine off of Amazon.

Ditto. I have front and second row total protection. Doesn't make this truck look any less plush to me.

I bought mine from Cabela's. link They're the exact same thing. They even come with the Weather Tech sticker and a Cabela's sticker if you want that instead.

I cashed in on a 20% off Cabela's giftcard deal and got them at a great price. I paid $191 (+%20 off) shipped for first and second rows.

I bought all the mats for mine, well worth it to me. As you said, just roll the mat up when you use the rear seats. I have seen other people cut that mat and install the trim for the seats on top of the mat. Look below.

So after some considerations I ordered the all the mats in gray from the vendor here,
I saw the product photo the gray is like a light gray but I saw it at the dealer too and it looked like it's darker and going to match pretty well.

SC3coupe, I'm sure you won't be disappointed with them. Share with us your feedback when you get them and post a few pictures, showing how they look.

So I got the weathertech in gray which was my worry was the color match, while the gray is not an exact match, it is a bit lighter than the door gray plastic but it is lower in the cabin and appears darker, so it looks reasonably well.

I do wish the cargo mat was just slightly bigger mine was just like the picture above but feels to me it could have been bigger and fit better.

Also I found relief now if we need to have someone ride in the rear middle seat especially with wet shoes. We have a baby and it is more hygienic to put diaper bag or used wet wipes on the mat, since it is much easier to wash or vacuum out any crumbs. I like the renewed look than the dirty carpet that was in there which I am going to clean though.

Right after we picked up our GX the Digifits were ordered. We have winter months that wreak hell on carpet so it was the best choice. Fronts, back and the rear mat. LOVE the rear mat, but didn't go through the trouble of cutting holes in it for the rear jump seats. Just roll up and leave behind the rear seats when not needed.
Good luck with your purchase! We ordered direct from Weathertech and were back ordered for about a month!

Lets see some more pics!

I've been looking at Weathertech's rear cargo mat but couldnt justify the 130 shipped price. Ended up going with a generic $25 one that can be trimmed from Ebay but may switch over if Im not satisfied.

Here are some pics

For some reason for the GX doesn't fit as good.. The edges for the rear and cargo mat is fairly wavy. I say this because I have one set for our other SUV it was so stiff and form fitting.
It's not like you have a choice though but their measured fit for GX. I am not sure maybe they have made it with thinner specs now or not.

and here are the ones from our other family vehicle!

It won't affect the function, but the precision of these mats are way better than fit of GX (I only see one tiny gap in one spot less than 1/8 ) I kept thinking laser fit was as advertised for this set.

Yes I can nit pick a bit when I pay $300 for mats. Although I have the cargo mat on top of the factory mat it throws it off a little, it's just kind of small around the sides.
