    Not custom fit, but they are just as big as the WT's and cover nearly the same floor space. For me, it's worth it to save $100 and get some cheap floor mats because I'm just going to dirty them up with my shoes... What's the point of $100+ floor mats?

    Sure they might be nice, but I just can't justify that much money for floormats.

    personally i feel its a little overkill to be upset over a little branding sticker falling off

    despite what we would all love to believe and think...just because it says Made in USA doesnt mean its the best thing out there...or even that the sticker or the sticker glue was...




    if the ARB logo sticker fell off my bumper tonite...you know what id do? worry about more important things in life and go on about my night

    the sticker in no way affects performance or changes the price tag...

    I'm back...There is nothing better for me to do than sit in TW right now.

    The bolded items-Nearly the same floor space is not the same as custom fit. And dirty them up...and then wash them. I can use these mats until the truck dies....Do you have the same faith in your Walmart mats??

    I understand what your saying, but wouldn't you also agree that you should get what you paid for, not a broken version?

    Yes...Complaining is the way to get things started...but complaining about important things like mats that can cause car crashes....and complaining that Weathertech has somehow failed to produce a quality product because a sticker falls off is pretty petty....and I would take the caps and inferred emotion in the OP to be some personal offense about the "poor" quality.

    Like I said...I'm still waiting for proof that this isn't because the OP lives up north or works in a really wet/dirty environment...or proof that anyone else has had this issue??

    Don't buy the mats. The sticker logo might fall off, lol. It's only a logo for crying out loud. This does not effect the function of the mats at all. No issues at all to me and I will continue to give positive feedback on these mats becuase they do exactly what they are intended to. Now if they ripped or tore that would be a different story

    You're right, not the same as custom fit, but- as long as I keep my feet on the mats and not skid my shoes on the carpet I figure I'll be fine. With these rubber mats from walmart, all I have to take the garden hose and hose them off. Sure my walmart mats don't fit in ever nook and cranny in the floorboard precisely, but If they can cover 90% of the space where my feet are, then they've done their job for a whole lot less than WT's.

    First off, I'd just like to say welcome back to those who took an intermission for pop corn and milk duds.
    Now then, getting back to the main topic of discussion... Is it that much trouble to glue the logo back on...might take a total of 10 seconds? Everything is mass produced these days, and sometimes you have to add a bit to products to help them out. Take fishing lures for instance. Half the time the stick-on eyes fall off before you even use the dam things. What I do now is after I purchase a lure, I dip them in a epoxy top coat. Sometimes if you want things done right you have to do it yourself. Now go out there and re-glue that logo, stand back, and be proud of the work you just accomplished! You can do it!!:cheers:

    I have the scratch and they offer perfect coverage with absolutely no gaps?

    I see what you're saying, I'm just saying, for some of us, top dollar for top product is ok. You're definitely getting better bang for your buck, but my concern is more about having the best floor protection on the market - cost isn't a big concern.


    FWIW, I myself would just glue the logos back on with some Gorilla glue or something because that's less hassle than going through a warranty claim. But that's just me.

    You should see what my dealer quoted me for sill protectors. I nearly shat myself right there in the parts dept. Needless to say, I'll be ordering them on the web for $25 for a set of four instead.

    FWIW, WeatherTechs are, to my mind, worth more than they cost. They could probably go up on the price and not be overcharging, but I'm not going to argue if they want to sell them lower.

    I have had my weather techs for a little over a year and they are just fine. Logo has stayed in place the whole time.

    Right, I know what you mean. To each his own; I can have my walmart mats and y'all can have your WeatherTech's and everybody can be happy and our carpet will be clean no matter what brand we use. Group hug?

    Well obviously not everyone is going to be in love with weathertechs. I love mine, and would buy another set for every other truck I own. I feel that they are of great quality and if they dont fit right or something then they will replace them at no charge. I like them and have heard great things about the customer service, so I will continue to buy from them. To me, if the label falls off then I will glue it back on, I see the OP's point, but I wouldnt worry about it, but obviously it is a big deal to him. Everyone has different opinions on different stuff.

    For whats its worth, I got the Trail Gear mats from Cabela's. They are made by weathertec and labeled under Cabela's name. I got them a few days ago, and the Cabela sticker didn't look like it was going to stay on very long either. Ya it sucks, but the older I get the more I try to let some things slid and not worry about it.

    I do think if you want to have new stickers you should jusy call weathertec and ask them, I'm sure they would send you some.
