Floor Mats & Liners

Snow, salt water and mud end up on your car's floor sooner or later. Here we've gathered floor mats, custom-moulded floor liners and cargo liners that protect the carpet and make cleaning easier. This category is for you if you drive in all kinds of weather, carry gear in the back or want to keep the interior of your project looking good.

Mats, liners and cargo area – what's the difference?

Classic floor mats lie flat on the floor and take the daily wear from feet and dirt. Floor liners are shaped to the floor and typically have a raised edge, so water, snow and grit are more likely to stay in the liner instead of soaking into the carpet. Cargo liners do the same in the back and can protect the floor when you carry tools, tyres or wet gear. Husky Liners, for example, offers floor liners for the front and 2nd seat row as well as cargo liners, while 3D MAXpider has Kagu mats and Kagu cargo liners, among others. LUND, Rugged Ridge and NRG are also brands in this category.

How to choose floor mats and liners

Vehicle-specific products are made for a particular car and model year, and the fit determines how well they protect. Pay particular attention to:

• Model and body style: The version can depend on e.g. sedan, convertible or cab type – the same series is available for both Ford Ranger Regular Cab and Supercab.
• Coverage: Front row only, 1st and 2nd row, or a complete set.
• Fastening: The mat must match the car's retention points so it can't slide forward towards the pedals.
• Use: If you drive a lot in wet weather or with dirty gear, a high edge typically gives better protection than a flat mat.

Fitting and care

Remove the original mats before fitting new ones, so they don't lie on top of each other and build up height under the pedals. Then check that the accelerator, brake and clutch can be pressed all the way down. If you're also changing pedals or pedal pads, check the clearance again. Rubber or plastic liners can typically be rinsed with water and mild soap; avoid shine products that can make the surface slippery underfoot.

Frequently asked questions

Should I choose floor mats or floor liners?

It depends on how you use the car. Floor liners typically have a raised edge and keep water, snow and grit contained better, while flat floor mats cover everyday wear. If you drive a lot in wet weather, liners are often the most practical choice.

Can I put new mats on top of the original ones?

This is not recommended. Two layers can build up height, slide and, in the worst case, get in the way of the pedals. Remove the original mats and secure the new ones to the car's retention points if the product is designed for it.

Why does the product name mention a seat row or number of eyelets?

It tells you which version of the car the mat is made for. Cars can have different retention points and layouts, so compare the product name with your car's model year, body style and seat rows before you order.

How do I keep the cargo liner clean?

Take the liner out, shake off loose dirt and rinse it with water and mild soap. Let it dry before putting it back, so moisture doesn't collect underneath and soak into the floor.
