For about a dozen pics (in a Silver/grey 2011 Prius), see here:I purchased these directly from Husky and was very disappointed. I bought two front liners for my FJ Cruiser.
First problem was quality. For $90 you expect something substantive, these things are made of plastic about as thick as (2) gallon milk jugs sandwiched together. This is a problem where the lip of the liners (designed to keep liquids pooling in them) is close to the doors of the car, where you get in and out. After only trying them a few days, you can see where the cheap quality would lead to bending and damage in this area.
Second and biggest problem is that in the FJ Cruiser they attach to the floor with hooks built into the floor. FJ has a plastic floor, so if you don't latch them, they slide. The holes in the liners were too small and when I forced them over the hooks, the plastic got bent around the edges of the holes, damaging them and meaning the hooks didn't secure them properly. It wasn't hard to see where after some use, they would not have stayed hooked whatsoever. This is a serious design flaw. A little effort on Husky's part could have fixed this, they only had to cut the right size hole and add a grommet around the edges of it. Lazy.
The liners fit perfectly, but that seems a moot point, given their serious flaws and cost.
Husky made me pay to ship them back. Very bad business, considering they didn't work out because of cheap design efforts on their part. The customer service rep told me I had to pay to send them back, that why should they, since they gave me free shipping. Normally I might accept that, but once you see these things, you'll realize they cost all of $1 or $2 to manufacture, making free shipping inclusive in a $90 price tag something of a joke.
I bought Weathertech rubber mats to replace these. The Toyota FJ all-weather mats also seem better. Both are cheaper, about half the price.
Husky doesn't deserve business with products like this one. I usually don't write reviews, but between the quality of the product and my service experience, I think others should know before they buy.Received product as described in a timely manner. Fits like factory made, easy to clean, and provides good protection for the carpet.I am extremely pleased with this item. They fit perfectly in my 2010 Prius and are very well made. They grip well to carpet and do not slide at all. The price is great, especially considering the similar "Weathertech" item is nearly $170.00. These get the job done for a much more reasonable price. I would highly recommend these as the better value.
