I got my weathertech liners today and out them in, they fit great and look sweet. My question is on cleaning up my carpet mats. I did some spot cleaning but I was wondering if they woukd be ok being ran through the washing machine.  What are your thoughts on that?

Glad you're pleased at the Weathertech.  have never put them in a washing machine, but would worry about the glue in the carpet backing coming loose.  I have successfully cleaned the cloth mats in other cars and trucks using my pressure washer and blotting with a towel afterwards.

I was wondering if it would be ok since they don't have the rubber backing with all the little nubs. I will probably just take them to the quarter car wash and pressure wash them off. Then I guess they will sit in the laundry tub to drain and dry since it's in the single digits outside.

That's what I do.

Mats have been power washed and then vacuumed some of the water off while at the car wash. Pretty much froze my fingers off, 8*F out there tonight. The. I out the in the washing machine for a spin cycle to aid drying more. Now they are sitting vertical in the laundry tub drying the rest of the way.

Great!  You'll probably want to vacume them again when they dry to get the knap up nice.

You'll have to excuse the dirty interior. Lots of crappy roads and dirty boots. I cleaned up what I could last night but it was as cold as you know what, so it wasn't a good job. I'm ready for some warm weather so I can clean her up again.

Those are a great fit.  I just have the factory ones I saved from the Limited.  For how much I'm using the SHO these days, I'm good with those. But if you have to get in and out a lot those would be nice!

I believe there is no substitute for WeatherTech to fit and protect... cloth or those for me.
