Used to be BAM but they haven't listed any for a while. Any posts from years ago have been OBE. Friend asking me and I have no answer.

I, too, have the Weather Tech mats for the front and passenger seats because I wanted their tan color to match my nutmeg interior. I got the OEM cargo mat because it covers the back of the rear seat.

My OEM floor mat at the driver seat is worn through already after about 30,000 miles and this is my second set because the first set was defective and curling down. At first, I thought the OEM mats were the way to go. But now, I think they are junk. I suggest looking at the alternatives.

Wow is the rubber that thin on them? I wouldn’t have expected that. Random question but what kind of shoes or boots do you normally wear on you drives?

I wear light weight hiking shoes (not heavy hiking boots) just about every day. So far, the mat is split like this in about five places.

Mine has survived me driving at least once a week in rubber golf spikes. Probably 100 trips to and 100 from.

I like the Weather Tech liners, just have one for now in the cargo area. Heavy rubber material, doesn't curl up along the edges, perfect fit.

And I like the design that curls up at the edges. A bottle of wine shattered and it kept it all in. Ditto a gallon of milk.

To each his own.

I should have said, the edges of the Weather Tech mat are rounded up, and rigid enough to contain liquids. It lies flat in my cargo area. You don't end up with folds, like other cheap cargo liners, with corners that won't lie down, because the material is flimsy, or doesn't fit properly. Then when you have a spill, it travels along the fold, and seeps under the mat.

I frequently have 3 golfers and their bags in the car. Clubs collect dirt and moisture on the heads. Today I had a trash run that had the whole back seat folded and yard waste lying on top of the cargo covers over the rear seats. I wanted a cover that covers the back of the rear seat back when folded and allows me the choice of which back seat to fold up. What other cargo mat meets those criteria?

Your choice is not wrong, just maybe I have different needs/wants.

Another option for a cargo mat is using a cheap padded mover's blanket from Harbor Freight that costs about $5. These are much easier to clean.
