Weathertech Cargo Mat now available for 2010 Prius

[neutronned]

Just got the grey Weathertech Cargo mat in from the PriusShop and it fits great. It does not have the molded in hinges that the stock mat does, so getting into the below storage areas requires pulling back a section of the rubber mat. That really isn't a big issue. The mat feels kind of like a cross between rubber and the plastic that milk cartons are made from. Not rubber and not plastic. Looks very durable and easy to clean.

The color is a little darker then I had anticipated but will work. Overall, I very pleased and it's just what I was looking for to protect the cargo area. Picture attached.

Thanks for the pic. It looks great. I would have preferred that to the OEM, but I couldn't wait. Definitely looks easier to clean than the one I have...

Ditto! Got mine today too and had the same impression. It fits very nicely.

Now where are the freaking floor mats?!

Nope - no plastic or rubber smell at all.

I think I better wait a little to see if I can find a full length one, in grey, that has the split seat AND has the folding hinge in the back so can get to the storage area under the floor. I want it all!

Hi:

Was wondering what you mean by 'does not have the molded in hinges that the stock mat does'? I am planning on getting either the one from PriusChat and have it sent to Canada or get the OEM from the local Toyota Dealer. I have already spoken to the dealer about getting me one but was trying to figure out which one is the better value.

Would appreciate your thoughts.....

The Toyota mat is really two pieces, and it splits along the seam of the cargo floor door. It's grooved, so when the two pieces are laid together they look like one, but you can flip the door up and the mats act like they are hinged along that door seam.

So if it's two pieces, does that mean if something spilled back there, it'd be able to leak through the seam between the pieces?

I have one on order and might receive the OEM mat today and I'll report back on the seam/hinge and if it would contain a spill as that was a question I had. Another poster had one and said they thought it would contain a spill.
