Husky Liners is promoting vehicle-specific versions of its Weatherbeater floor mats for cars, trucks, SUVs and vans. Instead of a universal shape, each set is laser-measured for a particular footwell so it follows the vehicle’s contours rather than sliding on top of the carpet, according to the company.
The mats have a raised outer edge intended to trap water, slush, mud and spilled drinks. Cleaning requires removing the liners, hosing them off and putting them back. Husky says the material stays flexible in cold weather and is designed to resist the cracking and curling that inexpensive rubber mats can develop after a few seasons.
Fit and installation
Hundreds of small nibs on the underside help anchor each liner, and the mats are made to work with a vehicle’s factory retention hooks. Husky says installation takes 15 minutes or less and requires no tools or trimming.
Materials and warranty
The liners are designed, tested and built in the United States, and they carry a limited lifetime warranty for the original buyer. Husky also says the material is free of latex, PVC, lead and cadmium, a detail relevant to households where children or pets often ride in the back.
For buyers who want a softer, more flexible product, Husky offers the X-act Contour as a premium step up. The Weatherbeater is presented as suitable for work trucks, outdoor vehicles and family haulers that face real weather. The vehicle-specific Weatherbeater fitment options are being offered on sale.
