Anyone have experince with Weathertech products, I love the look of their floor liners (not matts) but their products are God awful expensive.

Also been looking into getting some in-channel vent visors; anyone have experice with any? Reccomended brands?

I have the Weathertech floor liners, cargo liner and the window deflectors. The quality is excellent so you pay for what you get. There are cheap brands out there like Husky but the quality is not as good as the Weathertech. It is really up to you how much you want to spend. Good luck.

Can you elaborate on this statement? Do you have any pictures of your liners installed? I'd be interested to find out what makes WeatherTech's nice and Husky's cheap. I personally have Husky Floor/Cargo liners through-out and have no experience with Weathertech. The only difference I see in the liners is the WT Fronts go over the door sill according to their site and the "tread" design where your feed go. The over-the-sill piece is nice, I would agree on that.

I do like their wind deflectors for being thicker than the competitors I checked out and plan on getting a set of those at some point.

blink32...please do not get offended with what I said. I did not mean it that way. When I said "CHEAP" I was reffering to the price. I said it is all up to him how much he wants to spend. Don't get too sensitive....it is just a stupid liner we are talking about here. :roll:

No offense taken and I'm not being sensitive. I was serious in trying to find out what your opinion of the differences are. All I did was ask questions.

I didn't even know Weathertech had floor/cargo liners, I was only familiar with their vent visors.

Take a close look at the overall design. My friend has the Husky in his Sequoia and you can tell why the Weathertech is more expensive.

I looked through the site, and I noted the differences I found in my first post but nothing other than that. Not having a pair in hand to compare is why I am asking you since you have seen both in person.

Weathertech floor liners are the absolute best.I'm not too crazy about their vent visors though.I've always used "Vent Visor "brand and I've always been happy with them.

Seeing both in person, the Weathertech design as well as the quality of work, in my opinion, is much better than the Husky. It is molded to your Pathfinder like a glove. Very easy to clean because of the over the door sill feature.

Are they heavier/thicker or more pliable than the Husky's?

I'd say the Husky is more pliable but there is NO issue of putting the Weathertech floor liners in place. Once in place they stay in place. They are lighter and a little thinner in construction but will wear longer compared to Husky.

Interesting. My chief complaint with the Husky was its overall rigidity on the floor mats. The cargo liners are fine. I just don't like how it seems that the leather could be scratched by the stiffness of the 1st, 2nd & 3rd row liners if your not careful.

Wow, I must say I've never worn out a pair of floor mats and I've been buying the El-cheapos from Sam's Club without issue (also without a proper fit...) each time I get a new Vehicle.
The other week I was flipping though a Car and Driver (a Magazine I loath with every fiber of my being, yet manage to be gifted a subscription to every year) and saw the Weathertech ad with the Blue SE Off-Road Pathy and was smitten with their product just not their $150 price. I think nearly $300 for the rain guards and 2 rows of floorliners is practically highway robbery since in essence it's about $30 worth of materials tops.
The reason for all this penny pinching is I've been considering a leftover 06 or even the 07 Tundra

I'd say regardless of the brand you choose they are well worth the cost, in my opinion anyways. I ended up finding the cheapest prices for my liners on Amazon, your mileage may vary. But they catch so much that would otherwise be rubbed into those crappy mats we get or off into the carpeted areas.

I HAVE THE HUSKY LINERS, THEY FIT AND WORK WELL. GOT THEM SHIPPED FROM AUTOANYTHING FOR $124 SO PRICE WAS PRETTY DECENT. I CONSIDERED THE WEATHER TECH AND THOUGHT THE THEY WERE JUST A BIT TOO PRICEY. I LOVE FLOOR LINER IDEA SO EITHER CHOICE SHOULD WORK WELL.
