I ordered a full set of X-Acts for my '16 XL. Front row is a no-brainer; they fit perfect and they look good. 2nd row...not so much. I posted in the other thread that I didn't like how the 2nd row bubbles up in the middle. I was concerned about foot traffic (my kids) passing between the rows. I returned the 2nd/3rd row X-Acts and replaced them with the Weathertech 1-piece. Fit is great, and the Cocoa color is a great match for the Cocoa/Dark Atmosphere interior.

Apparently Husky hasn't rectified this problem. I just received Husky x-act contours with the same issue for the second row.

Update:

for anyone that cares, I spoke with Husky, the front x-act contour are vacuum mold, the rear are injection mold. They had an issue with the first run of the rear liners that they rectified. It seems I got older product that wasn't pulled off the shelf (didn't order it from Husky so that would make sense).

I think that is an excuse. I brought this exact issue to them a year ago; they sent me a second rear piece that fit no better than the first, and when I told them that they stopped answering my emails. Along the way they admitted that they used published measurements on the Tahoe/Yukon mats and did not have an actual vehicle available to measure.

Details might have changed in the ensuing year, but mostly my conclusion is that the Husky mats don't fit too well. I've gotten used to mine and the issue is not bad enough to warrant spending new money on Weathertech - but I would not buy Husky again and don't recommend them.

I don't have anywhere close to that kind of issue with my Husky second row mat. The corner of it sticks up a bit like in the photo above but the rest of the mat fits perfectly fine. Not sure how there could be such a huge variance unless like what PivotalRex said is true.

Who woulda thunk that there'd be a 19-page thread on floor mats?

Take a look at the Maxliner liners...this is when they were brand new in march and have settled nicely. Find them easier to clean than the weathertechs i had before. They look slippery, but arent at all. And i personally like the glossy look. Got them on Amazon Prime for cheaper than Weathertechs and Huskys. Great coverage IMO75e6b650a744d20175b482f4eb6c3dcf.jpg7127157f34e7d7575d6d358fca9b5c42.jpg000e75d26688f46200a41c83a3c21bbb.jpg6c64808233aa7e7f53db5f358c5e0966.jpg

These look like what I was asking about regarding the ability to protect the carpet between the footwell to under the 3rd row seating area. How far under the 3rd row do they go back?

Also, did you get the cargo area mat, and how does it work with the incline the Subs, XL's & ESV's have?

TIA
