Welp that settles it…ordered.
You won't regret it.... I paid 230 for the front back and cargo mats....
I was chatting with the rep online with autoanything and he sent me a link with a special 20% off offer and free shipping....... The way these cover the driver side ghost pedal kills weathertechs coverage

Yea the coverage is what sells it for me. I'm constantly getting in and out of my 4r with waders on. I want to cover everything I can!

the driver foot rest on the husky is way better than the weathertechs. the weathertechs cover only about 75-80%, the husky's 100%. since i dont put my whole foot there, its a non issue for me and went with the weathertechs.
the only issue i see with the husky foot rest, there is no lip per se to make sure any fluids dont seep left of the foot rest compared to the weathertechs, the weathertechs lips covers the left side up to the were the weathertechs stops foot rest coverage.
and the hump on the drain side of the door exit could be an issue when you spill something or need to drain off excess snow melt, that hump will cause you to remove the whole mat instead of just tilting it out the door to drain.

Do you have problems with the outer lip on the rears not sitting flush with the door sill? My 2013s have that problem, even after trimming the nubs off. The material is also alot harder then I thought it would be, which is probley part of the problem with them not laying flat.
I have had the original Huskeys in my 3rd Gen (Horrible), the Weathertechs in my 2012 TDI Golf (Awesome fit and finish), and the Huskey Weatherbeaters in my 5th gen. I am kinda wishing I would have got the Weathertechs instead.

My Husky's arrived today and I just finished installing them. They didn't come with those useless plug-hooks for the passenger side nor are there holes in the passenger liner either for hooks to fasten to the floor. I guess on the bright side, no hole = no water leaking under. The plug-hook thing on the driver side is useless. It un-clips with very little force. May as well not even bothered with that design or the pending patent.
[MENTION=52619]Whiplash Willy[/MENTION], my driver side front and rear liner hover about a 1/3 of an inch above the door sill, which appears to be less than yours but still noticeable. The passenger side on both front and rear are quite flush. It's a frigid day, but these liners are definitely more rigid than I was expecting. Maybe a blow dryer on them for a few minutes will soften the lips up and fall down on to the sill.
All in all they look good but I thought they'd be more rubbery as per forum member comments and a little more flimsy thus producing a snugger fit. For $200 I won't say I'm thrilled with these but I will likely keep them. Again, they do look pretty good and will definitely provide a lot more protection than generic winter floor mats.

Yea I think I will always regret buying them, but not enough that I would drop another $150 on Weathertechs. I would have bought Weathertechs, except for all of the positive reviews of the WeatherBeaters on here...I should have gone with my gut.

For those with fitment issues, two suggestions:
#1)
Immerse the liners in HOT water then quickly dry and install. Add weight and let sit for a few days. For weight, use a 5 lb bag of sugar (wrap in a bag), pet food, cat litter ect.
#2)
The positive side of velcro tape, installed on the underside of liner, to carpet. Most hardware and box stores sell wide strips.

Hey [MENTION=52619]Whiplash Willy[/MENTION] and [MENTION=79347]corcoran[/MENTION], I just gave those lips on my driver side a several minute blow dryer treatment and it looks like it worked. Both the front and 2nd row driver side liners are now sitting flush with the door sill. Will see if they change shape over night of course and will report back otherwise.
[MENTION=3512]maine runner[/MENTION]'s method would probably work too but if it's just the flap on the door will giving you grief, give the blow dryer a go!

Thanks for the pics! I like that they have the spikes to keep them in place and that they provide the extra coverage. I went ahead and placed an order for them from Amazon. oh prime ftw

I've had mine for one year and 10k miles, with soccer players in and out of the rear for yeararound seasons. I do not have the cargo, just 1st and 2nd row. Fitment seems good, and they have held up well. They do need a scrubbing occasionally, as they tend to hold onto soils, but clean easily. I don't have the poor fitment issues, but the rigidity of the plastic allows you to bend and mold the edges into place.
