Weathertech 3 row package now available!

Got mine today. I have a bench seat and the middle area in the 2nd row is uncovered. Disappointing

Does it look any sent than the pictures above? If so, can you post some pictures?

It's identical to the representative image on their website. Two separate mats for the 2nd row

That’s frustrating. Why do they give the customer the ability to specify bench/no bench if the product is identical?

Seems like a total fail on Weathertech's part with the separate matts for the second row. I'm hoping the 'third row' mat extends into the second row in the middle. (really dumb design)

I ordered a set today anyway because the Jeep ones were unavailable (I had a parts guy give me the numbers of every dealer that showed them in stock, but all were "reserved for customers" and not actually available. What a huge fail, coming into winter. One of the Jeep parts dept guys said he's gotten "hundreds of calls" from people looking for the Jeep brand mats. So to anyone thinking they might find a set somewhere: Nope. Don't bother. I called all over the US.

I got the WeatherTech mats today for my GC L with a 2nd row bench and I am not impressed. The front passenger mat doesn’t fit well, but it’s adequate. The real issue is the third row mat has a lip on it that is too tall and interferes with the sliding of the second row bench. Either I need to cut down the lip or deal with a return to weather tech and hope that a new set will be better.

Bummer, having just ordered them. But... winter is here and there seem to be no good options. Trimming is the best choice for me, living in a muddy place with kids.

I contacted WeatherTech and informed them of the issue. They are reviewing it with the product development team and will get back to me.

For those curious, here is a video of the issue.

The issue is caused because a lip on the third row floor mat interferes with a section of the 2nd row bench (red circle in the attached picture).

Seems like no room under the seat for any kind of mat? Looks like your mat is torn/bent?

It stinks the 2nd row isn’t one piece but the pictures I’ve seen of the 3rd row makes it look like it covers quite a bit between the captains chairs and part of the hump in the 2nd row. I wouldn’t be that bummed about the weather techs, the jeeps had the same coverage or less with more price. Supposed to receive our weathertechs Saturday.

There's room under the seat for a mat if the lip on the mat is smaller. If I hold the mat tight against the floor then the bench slides right over it, just barely. But since the mat floats a bit on the carpet, the seat catches the lip.

I have 2nd row captains chairs and all seem to fit well for me. The 3rd row mat extends into the empty space in between the second row captains chairs but only part way.

You'd think they would have made a better option for the models with captain's chairs and no 2nd row console. For a company that takes so much pride in all the engineering and test fitting they supposedly do, their offering is pretty pathetic for the whole rear of the car.

I've been in contact with Weather Tech and the product development team designed a revised third row mat. They shipped it to me and should arrive in 7-10 days. I'll provide an update when the new part has arrived.

how is it revised? What did you request?

I just ordered 3 row mats and a full cargo mat.... went back and fourth between getting the behind 2nd row cargo mat or the behind 3rd row. Decided on the behind the 2nd row mat and may cut it in 2 pieces so that can take the front chunk out and use the 3rd row.

I thought about that same quandry re the cargo mats. In my Xrterra, I found buying those carpeted commercial grade door mats and cutting them to fit worked well, so I might try to find a way to fit them to the 3rd row seatbacks. It's tough b/c of the 'flap' that covers the seat back as it folds up and down. Otherwise I thought about buying the weathertech large cargo matt and cutting it up.

Very interested in this as well.

Weather Tech said the front lip is lower on the revised prototype. I’ll know for catering in a few days when it arrives.

interesting..... mine should be deliverd this afternoon... curious how they'll fit

 

[winky132]

I received the revised third row mat with a lower front lip. Now there is no interference between the second row bench and the third row mat. I let Weather Tech know the revision was an improvement. Hopefully they sell the revised design going forward.
