Did you trim or heat gun shape the mat or do nothing at all? Mine sits right up against the rear heater vent under the seat, which kills the heat circulation in the rear seat area. Thanks.
Those with Weathertechs and rear heat

Unless there is an option for rear heat or not when ordering the Weathertechs I don't see how its fine. The lip completely blocks the vent.

I don't have any issues with mine either and I run my rear heat all the time

We are talking about the rear floor mat, correct? I will have to get a pic later to see how it compares to others.

That's usually what I would do instead of running the front heater and it would heat it up nice. My kids now complain about it not being warm back there and I noticed a difference too. I guess I will just cut a little notch out of the mat and all is well. No big deal really, I was just curious if I missed that Weathertech may have had an option for the rear heater. Thanks guys.

Mine was partially blocked as pictured. I think all I did was push the corner under the vent. I'm away on business, but will have to check what I did when I get back home.
Same.

That's the reason I don't use my husky liners on the rear. The rear heater can't properly heat the feet of people behind.
I'd rather have some mess behind than a useless heater. I use normal winter carpets on the rear.

The CatchAll mats I have in mine leave room for the rear heater.
I can also get you guys these if you want them. Let me know.

Me either. I didn't even know there was an optional rear heat vent.

I think it's standard on the Limited?

Full set here:

They also come in grey. If you need them broken up, I can do that too. The rear by itself is around $65/

I looked at mine yesterday and realized I have the same issue. I bet if people told weathertech they might modify their design.

I'm also a dealer for Weathertech (I can get just about any part) and just called them and sent a screenshot of this post. I mentioned why many aren't buying their product and I can't offer them either when they won't fit properly. Weathertech will not change it since they'd need to make a new mold and the mold costs thousands. They said I was the only one to ever complain about this and that they don't sell many of this product. I said the reason you probably don't sell it is because it doesn't fit properly
I was told if more people call in (it has to be more than a few) they may think about changing it, but the vehicle is 15 years old and they are working on newer items...So at this point, the Catchall I have is only choice, but they got it right when they made it.
