    Have they gotten back to you about the fittment issues? I'm very interested to hear what they have to say. Also do you have a pic of the fitment of the front passenger side? I'd like to see if it's like mine.

    I talked to a rep yesterday. She said to send pics, which i did, and she said that it will take a few days for their "engineers" to take a look at the problem. If i were them, id pull these "engineers" out of the break room and have them in the CEO's office explaining exactly how and why they F*cked up so bad.

    Mines the same , I looked closely and I can see just a hint of black on the top of the mat where the bar just touches it , but it does clear without moving the mat

    @ OP... By any chance did you install Mass Loaded Vinyl and/or something else under the carpet that could have raised the height? I have 1/8 MLV and 1/8" CCF under mine, which raises the carpet 1/4". I have not yet pulled the trigger on these mats, but anticipate my Mod my impact the fitment.

    Are there any updates? I just got a set of these for my 2007 DC and have the exact same issue. I called Weathertech, and they told me they haven't had any complaints about fitment and that I must have extra padding under my carpet. I was told I could either trim them or get a replacement, but the new one would probably still have the problem.

    Had the same problem with my DC 2012 and come to find out they have two different sets for the back the guy I ordered them from ordered the wrong set once I got the right ones they fit like a glove. Don't remember now what the difference was though but they were exactly like the op's when I tried to put them in.

    I had the same issue with the seat rails hitting the rear mat when the seat was adjusted back.. Instead of complaining about it i trimmed the mat to clear the rails. I think it took longer to write this out than it did to fix the problem.

    I "complained" because they cost me 187.00. For that price they should be perfect.

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    Mine fit perfect although I did need to trim a little for clutch pedal clearance.

    Just sayin there's a very easy fix that takes about one minute ...that's all. It's great to complain but sometimes (at least for me) it's not worth it when it's such minute problem.

    The front didn't fit either. That is not a minute problem. And there is no easy fix for that. I'll complain every single solitary time if something does not work as advertised. Please read the entire thread before you chime in with your .02 cents.
