All weather cargo mat?

[websfear]

Comments on the Ebay looked good so I just ordered one.

[websfear]

I finally got it today - almost 3 weeks! I will try to have pix and comments this weekend.

Cool! I'm really interested to see how it works with the pop up in the cargo area. The pop up works so well in preventing cargo from sliding around, I don't want to make it difficult to use, but would like to protect the cargo carpet.

Got the Weathertech Front and Rear seat floor liners from Autobarn.com

They took a while to get here (about 2 weeks), but MAN are they great. Fit in perfectly and they take a heck of a beating.

Nice deal.....I'm very pleased with mine. I do wish that the cargo liner had the crease in it to allow the pop-up organiser to be used like the line does from ebay.

Here are the promised pictures. Sorry about the mess, but it is raining and is expected to turn to ice and snow later today.

I have the black interior and the mat does color match well. The color appears more gray because of the flash.

Starting with some additional pictures with the mat in the down position

The right side...



Good fit.

The left side ...



Again good fit.

And finally, the center ...



Again good fit. I have not tried it with the back seats down. You can see two small extensions that would extend to cover some, but not all of the backs of the seats. I am still not sure I like the bunny ears at the wheel wells. They should be easy to cut off if I don't like them.

Now for the floor compartment open...

The right side ...



The fit is not so good, notice the bending of the cargo mat caused mainly by the wheel well.

The right side ...



The fit is not as bad as the left but it is tight.

And finally the almost center ...



I added this shot so you could see that the minor grid and the border "dams" are embossed and not solid. I was able to partially compress a dam with just my thumb and first finger. It did spring right back, but I will have to see with some heavy items if it still springs back.

From the three floor compartment open photos, the underside of the cargo (off white) extends past the campartment door. I think this being caused by the remainder of the floor mat being lifted off of the floor, probably because of the tightness of the left and right sides. This tightness is also pressing against the cargo door, which is almost, but not quite, enough to close the cargo door.

While I would loose the liquid protection, I am considering cutting slots so only the area over the compartment door raises and not the left and right mini-compartment areas.

So, final conclusion, am I totally happy with it? As you can see above, the obvious answer is no. However is it worth the price, $50 versus $150 for some of the others, probably. As is, it should do it's main mission, that of keeping the cargo floor clean. I am however a little woried about skuff marks that might happend from opening and closing the compartment door.

[Ticmxman]

Great review websfear! Thanks. Yeah triming the ears that cover left and right mini-compartment areas might be a good idea. Let us know if that works. I guess with the pop up, the cargo mats will never be perfect.

I got stuck reading the cargo liner reviews and really like these Husky Mats http://www.autoanything.com/ca....aspx

Not sure if my fit would be the same though. Anyone have Husky pics for their cargo mat?

[cdmuile]

It looks really good. Yeah, the "ears" gotta go. Should be minor surgery. I have black floor mats on My Gotham. Boy, did they get dirty fast. I saw in my Autosport catalogue some gray mats that let the winter yuck fall through to the bottom. Cleaning them meant just Shaking them vigorously and wiping with a damp rag. They are everything as advertised. Would post pictures but it's too much of a hassle!

Wow am I the only one who realy uses the pop-up, it does such a good job of preventing groceries, and packages from moving around in the cargo are as you drive. It also block things from slidin front to back in the cargo bay. Went to Trader Joes today and had a couple of cases of wine behind the back seat and they never moved thanks ot the little pop-up.

No I am constantly using mine as well. Still, I like the CargoLiner better than the other one.

Btw I too have a blue Rogue SL w/black/red leather and the black Weathertech FloorLiners, so got.me.a.rogue and I have almost the same interior. I just have to pick up a CargoLiner and I'm good!

I love the pop-up- I used it today for groceries (prevented the cans from going everywhere)!

I've already ordered the Weathertech mats for the front and despite the fact that it doesn't fold extremely well, I'm leaning towards the Ebay liner for the cargo area.

[got.me.a.rogue]

LoL my other ride is a E-150 van and when stuff is rolling around behind me i know that i took that last corner on at least 2 wheels i think i saw 2 or 4 cargo rings and 2 fold out hooks in the back when i was putting the liner in so the pop up will make a good place to keep the bungee cords neat and outta sight.

I have this one as well and it fits great. Yeah, you lose the pop up cargo tray, but I rarely used it.

Just ordered up a set of Weathertech floor liners for both rows. The local dealership is selling the same product with the Nissan logo at a hefty premium over the Weathertech Canada website. The stock mats (like many cars) do not cover enough of the floor to protect against water, mud, dirt, etc.

For the rear, I decided on a more low tech solution: a $30 piece of 4'x6' rubber backed outdoor carpeting. I cut it to fit and the excess rolls up behind the seat back. When I need to carry big items, I simply fold the seats and unroll the carpet to cover the seat backs. I can then throw in whatever dirty messy cargo I have without fear.

[philipa_240sx]

Just installed the Weathertech Floorliner front and rear mats. Very nice. They are pricey but seem to be very high quality and fit like a glove. They will come in handy when I go to job sites and have no choice but to drag my dirty boots into the Rogue.

For us Canucks, best price I've found is at: http://www.weathertechcanada.com Shipping is free if you order more than $150 worth of product. I got mine a little over a week after ordering.

[jsellberg]

i just ordered the cargo mat off ebay in gray. will post pics when it arrives.

i use my pop up organizer ALL THE TIME. even if i'm just throwing one small bag, or my kids backpack in there. it's just so handy

[got.me.a.rogue]

update from my original post.....

you DO NOT lose the pop-up cargo hatch if you go with the Weathertech cargo liner.

photo below shows it folds out of the way with no problem....i actually used it today for a few bags of stuff from the local food_dude and didn't wanna crack any eggs or put a dent in my wonder bread

Do you feel that the Weathertech mat is pliable enough that it wouldn't break/crack over time?

[websfear]

Looks like it still suffers from the same problem that I saw with the cheaper one. There looks like a lot of pressure on the popup caused by wheel well pushing back against the cargo cover.

[got.me.a.rogue]

Do you feel that the Weathertech mat is pliable enough that it wouldn't break/crack over time?

i feel confident that the weathertech cargo liner will still be fully protecting the cargo area and looking good many years from now and "if" it does happen to crack it won't be the end of the world......just another job for duct tape

[jsellberg]

Well I still have not received my mat because that seller on ebay failed to put my apartment number so I've been waiting for my mat that was supposedly supposed to have been delivered last WEDNESDAY and have been fighting with FedEx trying to get my package. This is ridiculous. I'm moving to a new house in less than a week and I will freakin' murder someone if I don't get my package.

buyer beware, dont let it go to your apartment or you apparently will never get it!

[websfear]

Calm down, yes you will get it. Can you use the option of just going to the Fed-Ex office and signing for it there?

I have 90% of my deliveries go to my work address. Not only is it convenient for me, but when they see that it is to a law enforcemnt office, I think I get some additional respect, expecially on ebay.

[jsellberg]

no, they wont give me any info on the distribution center, i've asked to pick it up since last friday. they keep telling me 'its on the truck we dont know what center its at' blah blah blah. thats if i even get someone who speaks english, otherwise i have to spend like a half hour on the phone with some dumbass who apparently doesn't comprehend how to even spell my name. and besides, i didnt pay over 20$ in shipping for me to have to take time out of my (very very very busy- i'm packing & moving) day to go pick up a package that should have been delivered last week. is it that hard to provide a little decent customer service?

its supposedly supposed to be delivered today, so we'll see.

[jsellberg]

loll i got this today

No attempt made, delivery scheduled for next business day

-.-

so i called.. again.. was hung up on while supposedly being transferred to a supervisor, then called back and just asked to be transferred to one and i'm going to pick it up myself today.

finally. now im not even excited about it.

[KenHash]

I just bought the cargo mat from the ebay seller. It looks good and does the job of keeping the cargo area dry. But its made of something closer to styrofoam than rubber or plastic. I could crush it completely with one hand. I wouldn't expect it to be too durabable.

[tellurian]

I picked up a cargo mat from my dealer. It looks exactly like the WeatherTech mats but with the Nissan logo instead of the WeatherTech logo. AND! I got the privilege (ahem) for paying extra for the Nissan Logo. The mat cost me $152 + tax. But I had to have it pronto ... I have a large dog (Rottweiller / Black Lab ... 'Moose', the sweetest and possibly happiest animal on the planet) he likes to go places and he is quite happy in the cargo area.

I wonder about safety for him though ... anybody have any suggestions or know of good dog safety products one can use in the cargo area?

[RogueGirl]

I also got the mat from my Nissan dealer, it's the same as the pic with the Nissan logo instead. Got it "free" while dealing car. I'm really glad I got it because I rented a Rogue for a business trip (nice test drive of 1000km) and the wheels of my luggage marked the carpet in the rented one I knew this was a must have!

[lrich524]

I just bought the SL AWD Gotham Grey, leather, roof, premium pkg. I'm interested in the WeatherTech cargo liner. Where did you get yours? What did you end up paying for it? Are you still happy with it? I have not seen a cargo liner from Nissan. Are these available? I need something to protect the floor when I put my clubs and cart in the back. Any info would be great.Thanks
