Worth replacing factory floor liners

1772 Views 12 Replies 11 Participants Last post by  Chetter'S Z
So I have a 2019 with GMC factory floor liners. And they don't quite fit. They edges near the doors at the front always seem to pull away and get dinked by people getting in and out of the truck. I was thinking of trying to use a heat gun to from them back into place, but am wondering if I should just replace the with wathertechs and be done with it. Any thoughts?

Messing around with a heat gun and maybe some high strength adhesive is low cost. Seems worth a shot and then if it doesn't work you didn't invest much. Basically you can always go for a different set of liners later.

Are we talking about the GMC all-weather liners? If so, yeah I have the same issue and about to just go with the tried and true WeatherTech mats.

I would heat them. My GM ones in two vehicles and they fit fine And never had the fit issues.

Weathertech fit but the are semi hard plastic scratches and I was just never happy with them.

If you have to change you may want to look at Husky liners.

I had the Weathertech in my wife’s Terrain I hated them. The cargo area was even worse as everything just slid around. Durable and fit yes but looks and feel I just never liked.

I had Husky in another vehicle. They were great and always cleaned up like new.

Note too I can get Weathertech at cost and I still skipped them. You either love them or hate them.

I love WeatherTechs but the WeatherTech mats in this case are actually lower quality and provide far less coverage than the GMC all weather liners (IMO inadequate coverage) When I first got my truck the GMC liners would kink up in the door once in a while but after the weather warmed up they broke in and been fine ever since.

I would go with

I have that issue occasionally as well with the driver's liner. Gets caught on the bottom of the inner door panel. The plastic has some memory, and what I've done to manage it is keep an eye on it and make sure it doesn't get caught. When it does, rectify immediately. As long as it stays flat, it's harder to get it to catch. Once it starts catching, it's hard to get it to stop.

what are your thoughts for a good adhesive?

I had mine since 2016. Finally threw them out in January. Replaced them with Husky Liners 53121

what he said! The husky liners are soft and don't scuff, trap water well and fitment is great.
I had to use the heat gun on mine outside of truck when new to get the bend from packaging to settle out. No issues since.

I purchased Smartliners for my wife's 2021 Subaru Legacy Limited and they are very nice floor liners. They fit perfectly and look great and they too are made in the USA and the price was great, only 139.00 w/tax and free shipping for the front and rears. Give them a look see as well. I Have the GMC floor liners in my Canyon and have no issues at all with them and I like the look of them as well.
