At TUXMAT today for prototype floor mats fitment!

[Sner]

Nice! Let us know how they are and fit!

Mine will arrive on Monday! Can't wait to check them out.

Installed - didn't take any photos. First thing I noticed is if you have young kids, the box they come in can be cut up into a cardboard car - that's fun! One I opened the box, comparing them to WeatherTech, I looked at them and doubted they would fit, they really are a substantial mat. I've put them in the truck, each door panel rubs on the portion of the mat that covers the portion of the sill plate. No real way to hold them down with the supplied clips. Hoping that with time they will settle down. Also be careful under the power seats, noticed the wiring harness comes really close and could potentially get caught on the mats as the seat goes forward and back. Last area of concern for me, where the floor mat rises up the side of the centre console and goes between the front seats and the console, some rubbing there, and there'd be no way to get supplied clips in there.

Overall the Tuxmats fit, I think they are a little "over the top" or "overkill" for what's needed to protect the carpet. Saying that because of the areas that they rub. They may settle down over time. Happy with them, but given the choice again, I think I would have been happier with the "less substantial" and just bought WeatherTech mats as I have in the past. My mind may be changed in time if they settle down on the areas they rub. I know they come with clips but the clips aren't of use for the areas that rub/need to be held down.

My thoughts/opinion.

Installed... Fit is decent. Seems to be some warping that I hope settles in. The sides that run along the sill are not at all straight and just look like it was not stitched together well. The velcro clips do not stick to the trim at all and any time i open the door they come off. I have requested that they send some stronger velcro. The sections that cover the sill are currently rubbing when I close the door but I am hoping that it will mold itself to lay flat.

Think you could post some pictures of the warping/rubbing you're talking about? Trying to decide if I still want to go this route or get something else.

I was trying to use their velco attachments to help hold the sill pieces in place but its just not sticky enough. May need to get some indrustrial strength velco to solve the issue. Hoping that by keeping the door closed it will help mold it to stay put.

Ahh, I see what you mean.
Hopefully that will settle with time

Is there any rubbing when you close the door? Was there when you first installed?

Yes, a little but after the mats relaxed it was fine. They do not rub now.

The beauty of these is how easy they clean up to looking new, even with all the salt they throw on roads here.

Got mine today and installed them. Don't get that much rubbing. Only thing is, I wish they came with more of the Velcro clips, specially for under the front seats where the power seat mechanism and wiring harnesses are. They catch the mats when moving the seats forward. I dropped them an email and more clips are the way to me! Great CS!
