I saw the threads about Weathertechs being better than the Honda all season floor mats. I went to look at both autoanything.com and weathertech.com. They have the same Weathertech mats but weathertech.com is much cheaper, but they charge shipping and tax whereas aa does not charge either. I guess I will ask for a pricematch at aa. But my question is, did you opt for the cheaper all-season mats or the WeatherTech Extreme-Duty Floor Liners? Is it worth the extra cost?

Replying to: nash1234 (Dec 24, 2007 10:19 pm) In my previous post I stated I was very disappointed with the Honda All Season Floor mats, this hold true. Now that I own the Weathertech Floor Liners for a couple of months AND put them through the snow/salt test I can say I am very satisfied and do not regret my purchase. There is a lot of floor ground to cover in a van. After having the short term Honda mat experience and previous mat experiences in other cars I personally find the weathertech floor "Liner" concept worth the extra cost. This is because the have a true 3 dimension fit made specifically for your van and a full surronding lip around the edge of the mat, kind of like the dish tray you may find in your kitchen. They also are easy to clean due not having a gazillion 1 inch deep groves in them which it looks like the mats have.

Replying to: nash1234 (Dec 24, 2007 10:19 pm) I have seen the Honda all-season mats in my friends Odyssey and in my opinion both WeatherTech mats are better than the Honda mats. WeatherTech may not charge tax if you are outside Illinois but I am not sure about this. |

Placed an order online for ground shipping on Dec 25 and the set (front & back - dark tint) arrived on Dec 28. The total was $106.95 (no taxes out of IL) for my 2007. The install was quick with instructions and online video. http://www.weathertech.com/store/mvproduct.aspx?ItemGroupId=4&VehId=281&Year=200- 7 I would recommend this company. |

Hi Searched this forum + the DIY forum, but didn't find what I needed... Automatic mirror and backplate on Odyssey/2000 (Year) LH/driver's side mysteriously disappeared. I can buy a mirror for $38, but with no backplate, which I am told, is necessary to attach mirror. Honda dealership told me that I must purchase and replace the entire mirror unit (for a lot of $), that they do not sell just mirror and backplate. Does anyone know where I can buy a mirror with backplate attached, or just a backplate, new or used? Thanks for any thoughts!

| I just purchased a 07 Odyssey EXL with gray leather and really need to purchase winter floor mats. Read some forum comments so I have been looking at the WeatherTech products and wanted to know which color matches best with the gray interior (Black or gray???) On the WeatherTech website it looks like the gray floormats are a light gray. It sounds like most of you like the liners over the mats. I am still trying to decide which style I should purchase mats vs. heavy duty floor liners. I would like some additional feedback if possible. | |

Replying to: poocat (Dec 30, 2007 9:15 am) I recreated the Chicago snow test since I did not monitor what actually took place when we had snow. I just know we did not get snow on the carpet so I assume the mats collected the water and evaporated. To recreate the test I took 3 cups of water and dumped it onto the drivers side mat only. All the water stayed in the liner, then to my surprise the water did trickle out of the car in almost a magical way. The liners do in fact have a channel that directs the water out of the liner and over the plastic edge at door entry point. It appeared magical because it almost looked like the water was climbing uphill. I did see the clean water I put channel over the plastic honda edge, but I will say it used maybe a 1 inch width to channel water out and it did not back into the carpet. I decided to close the door after 1 cup flowed out and noticed it still channeled out of the car. I did notice approx 1 cup stayed in, which I suspect is a volumen that is managiable where gravity will take over. I did not want my wife to freak on this so I pulled the mat out to dump out the 1 cup and kind of clean it up. I noticed no water under the mat so the test kept all water in the tray as designed. In short very very satisfied with the LINER concept.
