Husky Liners is promoting its Weatherbeater floor liners, a vehicle-specific alternative to universal mats for cars, trucks, SUVs and vans. Each set is laser-measured for a particular vehicle so it follows the shape of the footwell rather than sliding around on top of the carpet, according to the company.
The liners have a raised outer edge intended to contain water, slush, mud and spilled drinks. Husky says they can be removed, hosed off and reinstalled for cleaning. The company also says the material is designed to stay flexible in cold weather and to resist the cracking and curling that can affect inexpensive rubber mats after a few seasons.
Fit and installation
Small nibs on the underside help anchor the liners, and Husky says they work with factory retention hooks. The company lists installation at 15 minutes or less, with no tools and no trimming required. That claim applies to the Weatherbeater line as sold for each listed vehicle fitment; buyers still need to confirm that their vehicle is covered.
Materials and warranty
Husky says the Weatherbeater liners are designed, tested and built in the US. They carry a limited lifetime warranty for the original buyer. The company also lists the material as free of latex, PVC, lead and cadmium, a point aimed at households where children and pets ride in the back.
For buyers who want a softer, more flexible product, Husky positions its X-act Contour line as the premium step up. The Weatherbeater is presented as the more practical choice for work trucks, outdoor vehicles and family vehicles exposed to real weather. The current promotion covers vehicle-specific fitments.
