floor mats

[Patrik]

Is the extra price worth it to get the weather tech floor liners vs. the all weather mats?

Do you know of a rubber lining/ cover to protect the cargo area (where the wheels are covered)? I just have the floor mat, but the sides and the back seat are exposed.

 

Thanks

Yes, it's worth it. The Subaru mats suck. The WeatherTechs are great.

 

I don't know of anything that covers the sides of the cargo area...

There's a rubber trunk mat with ledges, a bit more protective than a typical floor mat.

Is that specifically for the 05+ Legacys? If it is, how much does it cost (and from where)? Thanks.

Get the WeatherTechs. Subaru's mats are lower-quality rubber that gets stiff as a brick in the winter. The mats then slide all over the place.

 

WeatherTechs rule. For 2005+ Legacies, they're also custom-fit. For my wife's 2001, they sent a generic front set, that we had to trim. Not a big deal or anything, but still...

 

Hers look good though:

+1 on the WeatherTechs! They're great. I got the form fitting ones for the front.

^^ Those are the "trays" ... the mats themselves are also custom-fit.

This is for Legacy BP/BL, which are 03+ JDM and 05+ USDM.

 

This particular one was sold in Japan for $64:

I'm sure they should be selling them in US, too.

WeatherTechs look totally cool. Wish they made them custom-fit for JDM...

We can't get them at the dealer and the cost of shipping from one of the vendors here ends up being more than the cost of the mat itself. Thanks for the info though.

Tell me about it. I've also been looking.

Email them; they may be able to do a flipped pattern for you.

I've had no problems with my OEM Suby all weather mats. Not sure where the problems are.

I've had both in my hands. The WeatherTech liners are superior and the price reflects it.

Perhaps Subaru stepped up the rubber quality, then. You'd have noticed, being in Rochester. Then again, the LGT does have the stay-put pin on the floor, to hold the mat in place somewhat.
