WeatherTech/Husky Floor mats on VINYL Floor?

Sud · Mar 14, 2014

My truck is equipped with Vinyl interior... floors and seats. I like it because it's easier to keep clean.

That said, I'd really like to add some floor mats/liners (Weathertech preferrably) to try to keep the vinyl in good shape for a long time. But they appear to be intended for carpet flooring only?

I understand a "universal" floor mat would slide around and not stay put well on a vinyl floor.

Since these are a custom fit, wouldn't they more of less fit "snug" and not move around? Anyone have any experience? will it work?

Honestly, a 10 minute phone call to weathertech may be your best bet. They're going to be the ones you'll have to deal with if they don't fit (aka, return), so I'd call them, explain what you've got and see if they can help you out. I wouldn't get generic ones, they will move around on the vinyl floor.

Yea that's what I figured... just thought i'd check to see if anyone else had ever done so succesfully.

I.E. - the weathertech "tech/salesperson" says "oh yea, sure they'll work great!" - only to get them and find out they slide around and don't stay put. (not saying they would do that, but real world experience trumps a salesperson's word in my opinion.)

sure you'll have salesmen that will tell you anything to make a sale, however, most companies rely on reputation. Bad news travels very fast, especially in the aftermarket world, smart business owners know that happy customers are what keep the lights on.

I have husky liners and they fit peffect I have carpet tho but I cant imagine them sliding around any. They are a perfect fit

I've also seen people put down that non-skid shelf liner between the vinyl floor and floor mat, seems to hold them in place fairly well.

Whatever you end up going with, if they do slide a little bit maybe a couple pieces of stick on Velcro will help hold it in place. As long as you don't plan on taking the mats out for the summer. The Velcro alone could be a bit of a eyesore.

This is what I did with my Husky floor mats, and I have the vinyl floor.
I Cut off all the little spikes under the mats as someone on this forum suggested.
They stay put pretty well.

My Weather Tec don't move at all, and I got the cheaper ones. I love them.

If they were to slide some 3m tape could always work

If the mats are custom fit, then there is no or less move around. The weathertech mats are good, but they are very expensive, if you want to try some cheap 3d car mats with good quality, try the 3d mats, 3d floor mats, rubber car mats manufacture & wholesale

floormats

You should take a look at Weatherboots.com they are custom fit and work great with the type of floor you have. That's how I order my service trucks and we put the Weatherboots.com HD in all of them.
