New Tuxmat car mats - Still the best?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 ก.ค. 2024
- I installed the new Tuxmat car mats and trunk liner for my Kia EV6. Are they as good, better, or worse than the best car mats I have ever owned, the 2019 Tuxmats for my previous car, the Kia Niro EV? Tuxmat car mats offer the most coverage, the best protection, and an amazing fit. I have owned many cars over the last 30+ years, I have owned a variety of car mats from auto manufacturers as well as aftermarket mats, including Weathertech, but Tuxmat car mats are the best I have ever owned.
NOTE: Tuxmat ships to the US and Canada, but does not ship elsewhere :-(
DISCLOSURE: I bought the front and rear Tuxmat car mats at full price, with my own money. I did, however, tell Tuxmat I was going to make another review video and asked for the trunk liner mat and got it for free. Thank you Tuxmat.

My god man, what a thorough review. Tuxmat should have sent you the entire set for free. You definitely deserve it. I will definitely be buying one for my new car. Thank you!!!
I would have liked them for free as well 😎
I am glad my video could help you, and you are going to love them. Thanks for watching my video.
Honestly, I’m glad they weren’t. It’s the only way to ensure some neutrality and objectivity when reviewing. Granted I know he likes that brand already and he bought them for his car, so not completely objective, but he’s more likely to call out stuff when needed if there is an issue. I, for one, appreciate that he bought them himself.
Once the seat is adjusted, you might consider stuffing a rolled up black towel under the edge of the front seat to prevent water from migrating backwards to the carpet. Multiple drivers would need to be aware and remove the towel, adjust the seat, then replace the towel.
In the end it isn't needed...

Love the bloopers! Good job on the video, pretty informative and gives me an idea of how to place the clips when I get my mats.
Thank you very much. I am glad I could entertain, and help. I do my best. Thank you for watching and commenting, really appreciate it.
Great video! I just ordered these yesterday for my EV6. After watching your video now I'm even more excited for them to arrive.
Thank you very much. I am very pleased with the new Tuxmats, they offer excellent protection. Congratulations on getting the EV6, it's an awesome car 😎
excellent video as always and very informative on how to install these mats-bravo and Thank you!
Thank you very much, and you are very welcome 😎. I appreciate you taking the time to watch.
Thank you for posting. It is fantastic, an honest detailed evaluation of the product and installation caveats. Loved the blooper reel, just like the movies!
You are very welcome. I am glad I could help and that you liked my bloopers 😎. Thanks for watching.
This is a phenomenal fully inclusive video! I have a set of Tuxmat, so no idea why I watched 95% of this video 😅, but everything you said is spot on.
Two things I wanted to say were...
1. The instructions actually give good advice for clip placements, but I appreciate how you did what most (including myself) do by installing the mats with zero regard to the instructions.
2. Tuxmats are great premium mats, But I've found it best to get another brand's trunk mat for exactly the disadvantes you mentioned. Velcroing a trunk mat in place (on the sides) tends to be more annoying and cumbersome as I store tools in the spare tire well as well.
But yeah, great video. One of the more conclusive videos I've seen on Tuxmat, if not the only conclusive video I've seen. Phenomenal work!
Wow! Thank you very much for the compliment, and information. You are correct, I did not look at the instructions because this was the 3rd set I had bought, but I should have read them since this is the new version. Interesting idea about the trunk liner. I think the Weathertech one is a place-it-and-forget-it kind of mat, but I have not seen it in person to confirm. Now that I have had mine for quite some time, I suppose an alternate idea for the Tuxmat trunk liner would be to install two 15cm long velcro strips (the plastic spikey part) to the bottom of the liner, one on the left and one on the right, near the rear seat. This would hold the liner in place since it would "stick" to the material of the trunk, but would still allow for the storage underneath. I may actually try this and make a follow up video about the liner retention issue. Thanks again.
Thanks for your awesome video, much appreciated!
Thanks! I am glad you liked it. 😎
Appreciate this comprehensive run through as we just ordered the Tuxmats for our family's Hyundai IONIQ 5. The sliding console version has been in and out of stock for months, so we finally snagged them just in time for the New England winter. Excited to see how they compare to the EV6 version.
I am glad I could help. It's great that you will get them before Winter. I was a bit worried that the EV6 version would not be in stock in time for winter since the EV6 version has also been in and out of stock... rather quickly 😎
My man, that is one of the absolutely best reviews of a product I've ever seen full stop. I agree with a previous poster, Tuxmat should send you a check and let you keep that stuff for free. 👍
Thank you very much, I really appreciate the compliment. It would be nice if I got them for free, but I prefer to buy my products and be 100% honest about what I think of them. This way I can't be called biased. Thanks again, I appreciate it.
I also noticed how much quieter the car was after installing these mats in my 2018 Camry Hybrid. I wasn't even expecting that but it was just so obvious it couldn't go unnoticed. And I totally agree with you that these are by far the best mats you can get for your car. I don't know how they can make them fit so perfect. Thanks for the very helpful video.
I am glad you liked my video and appreciate you watching, and I am glad the sound reduction was as good as it was for your car. It it nice driving in a quiet car 😎
These do look good! They appear to be very high quality and fit great and would certainly protect it well.
They are great for winter protection.
Thanks André for another entertaining episode, although I still haven't got my EV6 yet (hopefully Dec-Jan) have stated
gathering accessories. It doesn't look like Tuxmat ships similar
Also Aus is RHD. Love that you add the bloopers each time, keep up the good work !!!!
Hi Andy, thank you! I am glad you liked it. Unfortunately Tuxmat only ships to North America, sorry. I hope you get your EV6 sooner than later 😎
Good review! And, good tip on the possible inconvenience of the rear mat. I plan to get Tuxmats for my EV.
Thank you and thanks for taking the time to watch. I have had the mats in my car for about 1 year now and have had no issues with water spilling out, or any other issues. The carpets in my car are still like new and the mats are easy to clean. Just pull them out, drop them on the ground and scrub with a brush and some biodegradeable cleaner. I show how I clean the Tuxmats in an older video, with the old version of the Tuxmats. The video is called "EQ 001 - Tuxmats after 2 years, trash or good?"
Thank you!
You are very welcome.
Thanks for the video, I put my set in this week and was waiting to see where I should put the clips. For the rear mat needing Velcro for the case, I managed to place the EVSE and ac adapter into the frunk (battery booster too) and not carry the bag. They are items I don't expect to use very often, although I did use the adapter when vacuuming😂 The rear mat looks like it would be great for transporting a dogs with muddy feet 🐶. The plastic hatch edges are protected from scratches from their claws when they jump in. I'm glad they used the Kia anchors this time. I had problems with a broken clip in the Niro EV driver's mat.
My frunk already has sever things in it so I can't put the V2L and EVSE in it. The velcro strips are still holding on so I am OK for now. Thanks for always watching my videos and for the excellent comments, I appreciate it.
Great video. Just bought a new suv. Wasn’t sure what mats to get. Now I know I’m getting tuxmats.
Thank you very much. I have no regrets and still love mine. I think you will be very happy with them. Thanks for watching my video, I appreciate it.
Thanks André, great review as always! I bought Tuxmats for our two 2022 Kona EVs after I saw your review of your Niro mats and we love them!
We have the new material too (bought in may 2022). But the cardboard boxes were not as cool though.😄
And as you know, they are the best Tuxmats in the world.😉
Thank you very much. "The best Tuxmats in the world" 😂😆😅, sometimes I wonder what my brain is doing when I clearly know the right thing to say. It's interesting to know the the boxes have changed to the new kid friendly version this year; I had no idea, but thought it was a cool change since 2019. Thanks for watching, I appreciate it.
Great review, I have 2019 set for CX-5. Overall excellent product and super easy to clean. Definitely much better solution then weathertech. Costco has the same mats under Phantom name.
Love all the in depth details. Didn't know I could watch a 36 min video on installing car floor mats. Also the bloopers at the end were great. Glad you included them.
Thank you very much, I really appreciate you watching the whole thing and I am glad you enjoyed the bloopers; I put them at the end of every video :-)
Thanks for sharing!
You are very welcome.
Great video! Thankd
Thank you, and you are welcome. I am glad I could help.
This video convinced me to buy the Tuxmats for my Mazda CX-5. After one year of use I have no regrets. I'm waiting to hear from Tuxmat on the availability of their TD-4 Super Trunk which is the cargo mat and seat back covers.
Thanks for the 1 year update! Not many people take the time to come back that much later to let me know about their long term experience. I actually have a 1 year later video that may be of interest to others who have no bought them yet. Regarding the TD-4 Super Trunk, I had no idea they had a new product so I will check it out. Thank you very much for letting me know.
You referrred me here from another of your video. I didn't watch the whole thing because I didn't need the in depth, but i like the updates, and you've helped me make up my mind. Deffo going with Tux instead of weathertech (not a knock on weathertech btw, always had great experiences with them, too!)
You won't regret the choice. I love mine and so does my wife.
9:50 not sure how the heck you got that shot, but man you must do yoga 😂. Genuinely impressed
😂 long arms and being very careful not to knock over the GoPro on a mini tripod on the seat 😎
Getting these for my Kia forte gt line!
I got the weather tech hp mats first but now I’m getting these because of this awesome video!
Wow! Thank you very much. I am curious about the Weathertech HP mats. After making my first Tuxmat video in 2019, about a year later Weathertech came out with the HP mats and I wondered if they were any good. What do you find better about the Tuxmats, based on your experience with the Weathertech HP mats?
@@EV-olution well I haven’t received either yet!
I’m going to test out both mats and I will be returning the ones I dislike more!
Based off looks alone I prefer the tux mats
Excellent. Please let me know your thoughts once you have chosen.
thank you André for the info 😀😀😀
My pleasure! Thanks for taking the time to watch 😎
@@EV-olution Always my friend, always 💯
Thanks for the great detailed review. Just waiting for availability for my Ioniq 5. I'll be ordering the full set. You convinced me I need the trunk mat. :). Maybe you could get a discount code for your viewers!!
I will ask and thanks for watching
An update to my comment a month ago. We've had the Tuxmats in our 24 Accord Hybrid for about three weeks (No trunk mat yet. It's out of stock, hopefully soon). We made the decision based on this review. I have experience with WeatherTech mats in my truck and they've been great but for a sedan like the Accord the Tuxmats were the clear choice. The fit is excellent with the use of the clips and the coverage is far beyond WeatherTech. They look great, enhance the cars interior and they actually reduce noise three-four dbs according to the NIOSH app on my phone. Not exactly a laboratory test but i tried to duplicate the same conditions the best I good before and after installing the mats. Thanks again for the review.
That is great information! Thanks for the sound test; I had not thought about doing it when I made this video, or the previous ones on the older version of the Tuxmat mats. I still love my Tuxmats and they are still like new after 1.5 years and a full winter of use. My carpets are also still like new. Thanks again for the follow up comment and I am glad you were not disappointed 😎
Thanks for this - haven't completely finished the install on my '23 CX-30 mats, but so far the back seat ones need a bit of work to ensure the front passengerside seat can roll all the way back when needed - obviously the clips will help with that I'm assuming. Also it's winter and I notice that water pools on them, maybe I'm a rookie and it's common knowledge that I'd need to wipe them out or wait for them to dry up. So far, so good for the front mats though.
Since Tuxmats protect as well as they do, it is normal for water to accumulate. Other mats simply let the water into the car's carpet, which is bad. If you occasionally wipe the water out with a towel, if needed, you will be fine.
So glad I found this video and specially coming from a fellow Quebecer 😊
I couldn’t find the one year later review, how well do these hold up after time? I am trying to decide between these and Weathertech for a highlander
Thanks !
They are excellent after almost 2 years. I actually have a 1 year later video. Here it is in case you are interested: th-cam.com/video/9beHzmBxlCo/w-d-xo.html
I live in the U.S. and ordered the tuxmats for my 2024 GMC Terrain AT4 (1st and second row) for about the same price as the Weathertech mats. I ordered them on a Saturday; from Canada, and received them on the following Wednesday. SUPERFAST shipping 🤙🏼And they are working great so far. I recommend Tuxmat 👏🏽
Wow! That is pretty fast service. I still love mine and they are holding up very well after 2 winters. They still look like new. Thanks for the comment and for watching my video.
I have Tux mats in my Model X. Absolutely a great choice and better than any mat I've seen!
That had been my experience for the last 3 years.
Thanks!
Google adds HST on the gift. Does patreon do that?
😳😮 I don't have a Patreon account, but I have Ko-Fi and it does not charge taxes as far as I can tell. I had no idea that Google charged taxes. That is ridiculous! I take it you are in Canada?
And thank you very much for your support.
I just bought a new car and I did not know whether I should buy the mats the dealership was offering me (really similar as the Weather Tech brand) or go with the Tuxmat. After watching your video, definitely going with the Tuxmat. Thanks so much.
Weathertech makes the mats for many brands of auto manufacturers and they are good, but more expensive at the dealer, and in my opinion the Tuxmat are much better.
Just got a set for my 2020 Audi A5 Sportback and installed them this evening. The fit was pretty tight, but very accurate. I only had to use two of the trim clips (one on either side of the rear mats at the door opening). They look very good and offer a lot more coverage than the OEM rubber mats. I have WeatherTech mats on both my 9th gen Accord and 17 Sorento, but the rear mats curl at the edges and even the front mat edges curl in a little. I'm going to try using a heat gun to re-form them. I digress....the TuxMat set seem very nicely made, fit well and look really good. They were a bit of a pain to get in, so I may not like the R&R process when cleaning. Time will tell.
They are a bit of a tight fit, but well worth the effort to install them as they offer the best protection of any mat I have owned since 1987. I leave my Tuxmats in all year round and only take them out 2 to 4 times per year for a full mat wash. Regarding the Weathertech mats, I had the same issue with the hard plastic edge curling in on the sides of all of the mats. That issue coupled with the lack of full coverage of the Weathertech made me very happy to switch to Tuxmat.
Got a full-set today for my Polestar 2, and like you I am somewhat worried about the lack of a higher lip - especially on the backseat mat. Also, not sure how easily & quickly these will clean-up vs vis-a-vis WeatherTech. I'll be installing them this weekend - keep you posted.
I have had mine installed full time, winter has been pretty messy and so far they protect very well. I am not worried anymore. I will only know how they clean up after winter, when I make my spring follow up video. I have no regrets with them so far.
Just received my tuxmat (picking up my new EV next week) - I don't have children but you can bet your bottom dollar that I'll make that cardboard car from the box... for my cat! hahahah. Great video. Thank you
Damn! I should have done that for my cats! Great idea.
Great review! I’d hope one knows to kick off the snow from their shoes before entering the car.😅
Thank you very much. You would be surprised at how many people just get in with their feet full of snow.
My wife and I both have the same cars; 2023 VW Golf GTIs. I bought TuxMats, front and rear for mine, Muddy Buddy front and rear for hers. We are happy with both. The only complaint that I have with the TuxMats is that they slightly interfere with fully depressing the clutch. The main takeaway I have between the two is that the TuxMats are premium looking and are almost like buying a portion of a new interior, especially in the rear. In my opinion, the car interior looks better with the TuxMats in than with other mats in place. The Muddy Buddy mats are just mats, but they are really great mats.
That is great to know. I was not aware of the Muddy Buddy brand, I will look them up. I wonder if the Tuxmat will compress over time, at the clutch pedal contact point, and interfere less. I suggest you advise Tuxmat, they will probably make a correction. Thanks for the information, and for watching.
@@EV-olution : We contacted TuxMat. They do not have a correction right now. They did compress a bit. I have considered cutting under the clutch contact point, but they advised against it and so far I have not done it.
Hello André,
Some questions for you my friend;
1) odds that the Velcro clips stay good after a season ? The ones I installed on the Niro gave out…but they were installed on carpet portions.
2) that lip you have on the trunk liner that goes over the natural lip of the trunk ( near the door) …would you have preferred a straight wall at that point instead? ( as per near the seats) I can see that becoming a nuisance under certain circumstances…
3) what about EV olution polo shirts? The one you have looks very nice !!
Jeff
Hi Jeff.
01) The velcro is stuck to the plastic and seems pretty solid so i am not concerned. In a worse case scenario it is just velcro strips that I can replace, the clips are what are important.
02) I prefer the flat rear edge for loading and unloading items.
03) The polos, dress shirts, and vest I had made for myself are not cheap so I never considered putting them for sale. They are of very high quality because I chose higher end brands. I was thinking of putting them in my Web store as out of stock to see how many people would chose the "notify when in stock" option, but unsure. I still don't think people are ready to spend 70$ or 80$ + shipping, even though they are beautiful. Who knows.
I might use the US posting service to get these for my e niro as sadly they don't or didn't previously ship to the uk they would be ideal for my niro which is used as a taxi. Cheers
You are correct, they do not ship outside of Europe, but an important note, these are left hand drive mats.
@@EV-olution opps good point mate! So it's a no then shame as they are really suited for heavy work. Oh well cheers anyway
Picking up a new car tomorrow, should be getting TuxMats next week. Would you recommend letting the mats settle for a few days to let the heat of the sun work on them before placing any clips? Additionally, I see a lot of debate regarding TuxMats vs. WeatherTech. I have WeatherTech in my truck and they've been great but the fit around the edges allows dirt to get in around the mat and the coverage isn't quite as good. I have no intention of replacing the WeatherTechs. They're ten years old and continue to do their job. That being said, the new vehicle is a four door sedan and the fit, coverage and look of the TuxMats seem more appropriate. Time will tell but I'm pretty confident the quality is there after watching and reading a number of reviews, including yours which I thought was excellent. Thanks.
Thank you very much. There is no need to let the mats settle. I installed mine and put in the clips immediately and the fit is still perfect 1 year later. As for Tuxmat vs Weathertech, if you watched my original Tuxmat video, from 2019, then you will know that I much prefer Tuxmat. I have owned Weathertech mats in more than one car and the issue you describe for Weathertech is just one of my complaints. They are great mats, don't get me wrong, but Tuxmat offer more protection, better coverage, and in my opinion, look much nicer.
Hi Andre, I have now received my 2023 EV6 GT-Line Package 1. I note that if one completely removes the cover over the subfloor it results in a significantly spacious trunk area. Would you know if anyone makes a waterproof tray that fits nicely in that subfloor area?
Congratulations on getting your EV6. For the trunk/boot I have not looked into it since I need the flat floor when the seats are folded, but your comment makes me wonder if the Kia trunk mat would work in your situation. You should ask your dealer if they have one in stock to test fit.
A great mats for my Tesla X, " Fit like Glove "
I have had this set for almost 1 year, and I had them in my Niro EV for 3 years. I love them.
I've been using the WeatherTech mats for their water/liquid retention capability. What is your opinion in comparison?
I think the same thing as in my original 2019 review video. I think the Tuxmats are better overall. They do have the holes for the factory clips, but if you have enough water to reach the holes you have other issues 😎 My Niro EV Tuxmats never leaked and I expect the new version to be the same.
Hi Andre. I put in the tuxmats on my EV6 and all was good. They look great and feel nice under foot. One problem I'm having is the rear hatch jiggles on bumps soundung a bit like it's not fully closed. I removed the mat and all is fine. Any suggestions? I don't want to have to return it.
Hi Ed. Have you pushed the trunk liner forward, ensuring that the back edge is properly placed against the back seats? This makes sure the hatch fully closes. One thing I also did was to adjust the two rubber bump-stops for the rear hatch. I unscrewed them a quarter turn, closed the hatch and tried to move it with my hands. I repeated this until it was nice and firm.
That seems to have worked. Thx Andre.@@EV-olution
Hi, I like the floor mats but not the boot mat because of getting under the boot floor compartment. Me I would buy a normal boot liner that just sits on the floor like the one you can buy from the Kia accessories catalog.
I thought the same thing, but I have had to access the space below the boot a few times and have not had any issues. I have removed the retaining clips, since the liner stays in place due to the shape and fit, and getting under it is as easy as lifting the boot floor.
Hi Andre, how would I get to my spare tire with the clips you installed for the trunk liner? TIA
Just an FYI, the EV6 does not have a spare tire, but does have storage under the trunk floor, so I experienced the issue you are referring to. After installing the trunk liner and clips I would detach the Velcro clips at the rear to be able to access underneath. This became annoying over time. The solution happened by itself, over time the sticky part of the clip attached to the car came off on one side because of -20C weather, so I basically removed them from the rear of the liner. Since the liner has been in place for so long it has formed to the car and pretty much stays in place, and without the rear clips I can easily lift the liner up to access the storage underneath. I hope this is clear and makes sense.
If the velcro on the bottom of the bag is the hook side, you could stick it to the back of the seat instead.
Thanks for the suggestion, but the negative angle of the rear seat, and the combined weight of the EVSE and V2L adapter in the bag, mean that that would not work, it would fall off. I have had it stuck to the trunk floor since making this video and when I need the space, or need to put the seats down to put something big in there, I have been pulling the bag out and putting it on the floor of the back seat. It works well enough for my use case. What would be really cool would be to have enough room under the trunk, like in a Tesla.
I guess mine is different, it is just the V2L, it still sits in the ground just grabs the seat to stop it from moving.
What the front mat water run off like toward the seat under acceleration and forward runoff from the rear mats during braking? Doesnt appear to be much of a lip for either? Ps. During our winters we typically mop off any standing water after daily use.
After a full winter of use I have done nothing other than use my car and have had no water hit my carpets, either front or back. So the lip is a non-issue. One thing to note is that I have always tapped my feet together before putting them in the car. This avoids large quantities of snow from accumulating on the mats.
@@EV-olution Thanks for the speedy reply! Ordered ours today, winters coming on today in SW Michigan (6-8 in).
@@davewilliams9718 my pleasure, you won't regret them. I still love my mats, they have been excellent. I actually made a follow up video about them earlier this year. Here it is in case it is of interest to you: th-cam.com/video/9beHzmBxlCo/w-d-xo.html
These look nice but seem awfully fiddly to take in and out. I noticed the rear ones for my vehicle don't have any lips like Weathertech and Husky do to hold liquids in and many, like yours, don't go over the door sill . Everything is a compromise, I guess, but I think that's a dealbreaker.
You don't have to take them out every time you want to clean them, I just vacuum and wipe them down in the car. I only take them out after winter to really wash them completely. You may want to watch my 1 year later video about these mats. No issues whatsoever with the mats, no salt, no water on my carpets after a full winter of use. These mats are amazing.
Here is a link: th-cam.com/video/9beHzmBxlCo/w-d-xo.html
Hi , Do you know the phantom’s version have a new version as well ?
The images on the Costco.ca website show the old versions, but since Tuxmat is the manufacturer of the Phantom mats I find it hard to believe that there would be 2 versions, but I have no way of knowing. Sorry.
Just got a set from Costco, the same as new Tuxmat, rubberized material on the back.
@@alexk373 thank you for the confirmation.
@@alexk373 Good to know . Thank . Which car do you have ?
Must be a lot of work to take them out and clean them since they're held by clips and the grooves go in crevices no?
Not really. I made a video with my Niro EV Tuxmats, showing the cleaning process, and it is not a big deal. Regarding cleaning the new Tuxmat version surfaces, I will only know once I take them out this spring, but I don't anticipate any issues. I will do the same thing as in my older video: th-cam.com/video/To47gxpKIYw/w-d-xo.html
Do these help with road noise
Yes, they do, a bit. I made my first Tuxmat video in 2020 and mention this as one of the benefits. You may be interested in that video because the mats have changed and the version in this video is the new version.
Sadly they are out of stock or I had ordered them, I had them in my E-Niro/Niro-EV and I loved them.
Yes, when they came into stock about 1 week ago, I had set a notification for them on the Tuxmat site and as soon as I got the e-mail and text message I ordered a set because I knew they would fly out the door. I suggest setting up both e-mail and text notifications on their site to be first in line next time. They are worth getting, I really love the new versions. They aren't as elegant looking as the older versions, because they are more gray than black, but still amazing.
@@EV-olution They had promised me to notify me when they came in stock. I never got the that notification that I know of :(
🙁
Velcro your battery charger case to the back of the rear seats instead.
Interesting idea. I am not sure the angle of the rear seat will allow the case to stay in place under acceleration, but I am going to give that a try. Thank you very much.
Say Tuxmat, three times as fast as you can...
I had the same thought when I made my first Tuxmat video in 2019 😎
Why do you have so much of this video focused on your vacuuming? And why show vacuuming of seats when that has nothing to do with the floor mats? Enjoyed the parts of the review that actually dealt with the floor mats though.
Because lots of people enjoy that type of stuff, and some people don't know how to properly vacuum a car. I also show how to easily remove the original mats. The nice thing is that I include chapters in all of my videos and you can simply skip to the next section. I am glad you liked the rest of the video and appreciate you watching.
@@EV-olution I for one appreciated seeing your cleaning/removal process because because when I clean my car I've always just removed the mats first and then vacuumed after. This results in a lot of debris getting away from the mat onto the carpet no matter how careful I am. Seeing you vacuum the mat first before removal was an "aha" moment for me that made a lot of sense. I am embarrassed to admit this because it seems so obvious, but I just wanted to thank you for sharing.
@@escheidlthank you very much, I appreciate your comment and honesty very much. Also, it is nothing to be embarrassed about. I learned that trick from when I was 15 and worked at a hand car wash during the summer, and I can see how I may have not thought about it if I was not taught 😎
Hahahaha the cucks mat
Are you nuts how can you say better than Wether
No, I am not nuts. I can easily say they are better, having owned Weathertech (and other brands) in multiple cars over 35 years, and owning 3 sets of Tuxmat in 3 different cars over the last 4 years. I show why they are better in the first Tuxmat video I made back in 2019. Here is the playlist for my Tuxmat videos, starting with the initial 2019 review and installation video showing why they are better than Weathertech, then two follow up videos, once per year, showing the incredible protection they offer, and finally the one you just watched:

Same here - WT is a quality product, but more utilitarian plastic look and feel. Loving my new Tuxmats 😊
Watching you vacuuming you mats extended your video but wasted my time. Boring.
The really cool thing about TH-cam is that it is not like live TV. Did you know that you can fast forward, increase the playback speed, use the chapters to skip forward, or even not watch the video at all by clicking out? I hope these tips help you not waste your time on other videos. Happy holidays to you and your family.
