The TuxMat is light years better than WeatherTech

I’ve been a long time WeatherTech user. Between the last few cars for both my wife and I we’ve bought 7 sets of WeatherTech mats. I’ve always enjoyed the better coverage they provided than the all weather options that manufacturers offered. I’ve only had two gripes with WeatherTech over the years. One, it’s hard to argue that they don’t make your vehicle look like the interior of a work truck. And two, inevitably sooner or later the edges become deformed and start folding over. Especially on the rear sections which it seems like WeatherTech manufactures them thinner to save on cost. Once that happens they really start to look horrible.

First time I saw the TuxMat was on this forum and I’m thrilled with the discovery because these are such an incredible product compared to the other options. I don’t understand how the WeatherTech mats can sell for as much as they do when you have this option for nearly the same price. They’re not at all in the same league. The TuxMat looks a million times better (less like a work truck), they provide better coverage, and with the clips they remain flat and tight to the trim.

Agree on all fronts. I had made my first ever purchase of weathertechs for our cx50 and was not satisfied with the look from day 1. Add the fact that the edges began folding over and deforming after just 3 months and I will never purchase another set of weathertechs for anything ever again.

My tuxmats came in yesterday and I installed them last night. They look great and coverage is second to none.

You won’t regret it. Worth every penny.

Thanks for letting us know about the Tuxmats, which look great. For the installation of the Tuxmats, do you need to use the clips or do the mats fit well without the clips?, thanks

I think they’d work without because the fit is perfect but the clips aren’t really noticed and are kinda what guarantee they fit seamlessly edge to edge.

That picture I posted is without.

Nice! If they ever come out with matching rear seat back protectors, I’ll dump my OEMs.

I was amazed at how nice they look once I put them in. They protect all the carpet. Comfy too.

I installed mine yesterday. The custom fit is spectacular, and the clip system is clever and top notch. I've never been this impressed by a product. Kudos to Tuxmat, I'll be a customer for life.
