Default Any luck with all weather mats?

I've searched and searched, but it appears that no one makes all weather mats for the ET. Do the one's below for the Elantra actually fit?

Any help would be appreciated

Default All weather mats

I purchased a nice set of rubber mats directly from my dealer. Not sure if that is what you mean by all weather, but they fit perfectly and protect from snow carried in on shoes well.

Default WeatherTech

I was looking for FloorLiner Digital Fit from weathertech.com. The Digital Fit is available for Elantra sedan but not for Touring. So I email the support to check for availability and here is the respond from them:

"
It depends on how much demand we get. I fully expect these to be made. Please add your name to a list to help increase the demand Please use the link below for that purpose

http://www.weathertech.com/service/applicationrequest.aspx

Parts can take 3+ months from time of vehicle measurement to make and if we do make them we will contact you

Feel free to contact us with any further questions or comments, and thank you for your interest in our products!

Thank you "

Colorguy - Good to know they fit the ET, because I have read a few places that they are actually made for the Elantra and "sort of" fit the ET. I might have to pick up those while I wait on the Weather Tech.

I also saw the "product request" on Weather Tech's website and filled it out. Here's hoping they make them because the digital fit looks pretty slick!

Default Mats

They fit perfectly, right down to having two of the points where the mats secure to the floor board.

Default WeatherTechs work great

I bought a pair of WeatherTechs (designed for a Elantra sedan) for my 2009 Elantra Touring a few months after I took delivery and they fit perfectly. This has been a harsh winter and they keep the salt and snow and dirt out better than any mat I have used previously. Expensive, but well worth it. Mine are for the front seats only. I don't think they had rears available at the time I got them.

Thanks for the info. Not that I don't believe you but I'm still afraid of dropping over $100 on mats that may have a fitment issue. What made you pull the trigger on your buy - were you just hoping they would fit? Back in 2009 I also contacted WeatherTech about mats for our ET and was told nope! I'd like to have some in my ET, I have them in my Charger and ther're fantastic.

Luckily, I live close to the company's office in Downer Grove IL and they have a little retail shop at that location. The sales associated looked it up and verified it would fit the ET but to be sure he pulled the mats from stock and we walked out to the car to check. The fit was perfect. The only issue was that on the driver side there are two plastic ***** that hold the mats in place. The Weathertechs fit the one on the right (and snapped in perfectly) but there was no hole for the left one. No problem, the mat just covered it and you cannot even tell that it is there. Before he took the mats out to the car I thought it would not work or that I would need to cut a hole, but once the mat was in the car there was absolutely no issue.

Given that they wanted to make sure the fit was to my satisfaction before I paid for them I would be surprised if they didn't have a good return policy. But they are great.

BTW, it looks like there were major design changes for the Elantra Sedan this year (2011) so make sure you ask for 2009 Elantra.

Thank you for the excellent feedback markmayle! Fantastic, I may get some for next winter.
