Excessive Weathertech Liner Gaps? Fit Problem?

Normal. Try a blow dryer to heat them up and help them seat a little better, be careful with a heat gun as it's a much hotter method. Shouldn't need that much heat.

My WTs are similar, and they do the trick. If I was in the market I'd buy something else, but I have no issues with the functionality even if the appearance is lacking.

 

Looks about what mine look like but at least I only paid $139 no tax and free shipping. So I think the Husky's would still be more.

 

Normal.
Heat em a little and apply pressure the opposite way and they'll tighten up the gaps just fine.

 

My experience also.

 

Here's what mine look like after 8 months.

 

Mine didn't start like that but have worn to gaps similar all the way around. They let tons of crap get under the mat. Normal or not, I expect more for what you pay.

I read that a year or so ago they lightened the thickness of the plastic on the floormats which causes them to warp out.

 

I think they work pretty good for what they are , floor mats

I didn't expect 100% protection , just way better than the OEM all weathers , so I'm happy with them , other people's expectations of what a floor mat should be obviously differ after reading this and similar threads

 

mine are the same. 3 months old and no change. Doesn't matter a bit to me though. These are great and I've seen no better alternative.

 

I had never thought about heating mine up, I may try that and see if I can reform them to original. It didn't really bother me until some water was getting down under the passenger side and I didn't realize it. Last winter from some snow on the wifes boots, by the time I realized what the smell was I had to do a shampoo and dry out. Nothing bad, just musty old water that was trapped.

They are definitely better than OEM.

My only other complaint is cleaning them up, I can't get them back close at all to looking new and I'm not that hard on them.

 

I have the husky weather beaters with no gap. And they are slightly cheaper

 

For God's sakes...a half inch gap is not worth all this jumping up and down. If you are truly bothered by it, then by all means return the mats.

As has been mentioned....they are floor mats not artwork.

 

I just put a set in mine, when they came it the box they were a little warped. Once they were in the truck for a week they settled and fit good.

 

Actually it is a reason to be upset.

They claim that these mats are designed to fit perfectly and are specifically designed for that vehicle and the illustrations show no gaps.

It should carry the same Quality control that say shoes go through.

Would you be ok if one of your shoes had lop sided lace holes or a crooked tongue that cant be fixed? Exactly.

 

When I ordered mine they didn't even line up with the posts. I just ordered huskey liners instead.

Scott from truck addons.com wouldn't refund my money so I had american express go after them. I won in the end. FYI dont deal with truckaddons.com they are ruthless and rude!!!

 

Warping is one thing but gaps that cannot be fixed due to bad fitment is another.

 

Looks like those are not even the correct mats

 

Bought my set back in October, noticed the gaps also. The gaps were really bad on the passenger side. I ran the floor heat several times on several different occasions and that closed up most of the gaps. They just need time to settle. I expect the summer heat will make them "melt" right into shape.

 

Give me a little credit friend, it was hell dealing with truckaddons.com

 

The gaps on mine have gotten worse with time, not better. They've been through 2 summers, maybe 3. We don't get as hot as Arkansas but we get plenty of weeks with 85+, I park outside.

 

Mine look the same but I know it's hard molded plastic and will contour over time. After a few months I'll take a heat gun to close any of the gaps...not a big deal to me at all.
