    My Weathertechs don't fit tightly to the door trim. I can press it to it but it pops back out. Anyone else have this problem? It's like they need to get really hot so they'll fit better.

    Make any sense?

    My liners are along the same lines as yours just not as bad.

    I would touch base with whoever you bought them from and let them know what is up. Tell them you would like to give them a chance and see if they will settle down and fit better. If they won't let you use them and return them just get a new set sent out to you.

    Great idea! I called them. They asked me to send the pics I posted here. They said if they were warped in shipment they would send me new ones.

    Thanks!

    Is it my imagination or are the grey and tan ones more prone to holding out of shape after having been shipped than the black ones?
