      Do I have to trim my floor liners?

      Some vehicles have options (i.e. speakers and subwoofers) that may interfere with the design of the product. In these instances, Weathertech incorporate trim lines to accommodate those options affected.

      What does "1st row" mean?

      "1st Row" means the first, or front row of seating, driver and passenger side. Your set will include both pieces, unless it is a single-piece design.

      Can I put the floor liners on top of or under my factory mats?

      No. The removal of the factory mats is IMPERATIVE for proper installation. Failure to remove factory mats will result in an improper fit, which will likely create interference with vehicle controls, resulting in an unsafe condition for operating the vehicle.

      Why aren’t all rear floor liners one piece?

      Weathertech strive to offer the most protection possible for the vehicle footwell. Some designs allow for a one-piece, over-the-hump liner, and others present limitations that require a two-piece design. The fitment notes and images on website generally show whether the part is a one-piece or two individual pieces.

      Is the material odorless?

      Yes, it is odorless, non-toxic, contains no latex, cadmium, lead or any harmful PVC’s.

      Does this product contain latex?

      No. All floor mats and household mats are made from advanced Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE), which is virtually odorless, contains no harmful PVCs, cadmium, or lead and is 100% recyclable!

      Why isn't the color the same as it appears online, or in the ad?

      On-screen or ad color representations may appear slightly different as a result of studio lighting, variance in monitor calibrations, or magazine print quality.

      How do I remove the floor liners from my car?

      Some vehicles utilize posts, snaps, hooks-and-loops, as well as other retention devices that require a 90-degree twist to remove-and-install. Please refer to your vehicle owner’s manual for the proper instructions on the use of your particular vehicle’s floor mat retention system. Once identified, refer to the instructions supplied with your floor liners or mats.

      Can I purchase only the driver’s side?

      No. The floor liners are only sold in pairs or complete sets.

      Why doesn’t the Floor Liner cover the door sill on my vehicle?

      Weathertech floor liners are manufactured to fit flush or cover the door sill when the vehicle’s sill is level with the floor. If the vehicle is designed with a well-shaped floor space, the floor liner will rise up to and along the door sill, but not cover it completely.

      What’s the difference between the Floor Liners and All-Weather Floor Mats?

      The floor liners are a three-dimensional tray-type floor covering with standing walls that go up the front, back, and side of the vehicle floor. The All-Weather floor mats are a traditional two-dimensional flexible rubber-type mat that drapes the floor area to follow contours. The floor liners are made out of a harder, more rigid material, and the All-Weather mats are made out of a softer, more flexible material. Both will protect the carpet and contain spills, however the floor liners cover more surface area.

      Why is my driver’s side dead pedal/ footrest only partially covered?

      Weathertech strive to offer as much protection to the vehicle floor as possible. There are inherent limitations in the manufacturing process that may limit the height of some walls on a specific application.

      How should I clean my Floor Liners?

      Weathertech specially formulated TechCare® cleaner and protector kit is designed specifically for this task. However, mild detergent, warm water, and a soft-bristle brush will also help clean the floor liner or All-Weather floor mats. Do not clean with harsh chemicals or apply silicone-based cleaners (such as Armor All).

      BMW: How do I remove my hook-and-loop retention system and replace it with your hooks?

      BMW uses a hook-and-loop system for retaining their carpet mat. It is typically mounted to a socket in the floor by a 90-degree twist. Rotate counter-clockwise and lift to remove. To reinstall, rotate retention system clockwise with a downward push. When replacing the original system, please retain the devices with your original carpet floor mats. Again – always refer to the vehicle owner’s manual and your Weathertech instructions for questions - or refer to website.

      Why are the rear Side Window Deflectors coming loose, even with rear clips installed?

      If the rear Side Window Deflector is loose, the clip is most likely not properly installed. More than likely, the clip is in the wrong position which is causing the deflector to become loose.

      I installed my Stone & Bug Deflectors and the hood will not close. Am I doing something wrong?

In some cases, the hood might just need to be pushed down to latch properly. Be sure to follow the installation instructions carefully as completing the steps out of order can lead to similar issues.

    • Is the AlloyCover waterproof? Will snow seep through if accumulated?

      Only if the tool box is below the rails and not installed to the height of the rails.

      The AlloyCover will lock into place with the integrated storage clips.

      The product should not fade in the temperatures we see throughout the United States. It is also UV resistant to withstand the harshest sun climates.

      Are the panels replaceable if damaged?

      If damaged, the panel assembly would have to be replaced.

      Is it theft-deterrent?

      With a locking tailgate, as most are today, it is a secure system meaning you have to open the tailgate first in order to gain access. Keep in mind though that using a tool like a crowbar can most likely pry into the cover and allow entry.

      Can hail damage the AlloyCover?

      The AlloyCover is made from aluminum that is 22% stronger than Ford OE aluminum bodies. Nevertheless, it would depend on the size and speed of hail and we cannot guarantee that the part would not be damaged in an extreme storm.
