Video Transcript for Setting up the WeatherTech Cargo Liner on a 2021 Subaru Forester

What's up everybody It's A.J. with etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna be checking out this cargo area protector from WeatherTech on our 2021 Subaru Forester. The cargo mat itself is made out of a blended TPE plastic and it's gonna be a textured finish here, so it does have some grip to it. So when you throw something back here it's not gonna just slide back and forth and all around. It has some grip to help you out with there.

There's also the channels there too, so if liquid gets in there, it can fall in those channels and like kind of collect there and not kind of go all over the place. Now it's gonna be really good for a bunch of different things, whether you're just throwing some muddy shoes in there after a trail run or something or maybe you're doing some projects around the house. You get a bag of concrete or a bag of mulch, you throw it back here. It's far easier to clean up this mat than it is gonna be to completely get the vacuum cleaner out and clean up all that, or try and scrub any of that stuff out of there. And all the mess stays on the mat, which makes it very helpful.

Now the material is not rigid, so it's gonna be easy to take out too. So if it did, if it was a little bit more rigid with plastic, it'd be kind of hard to get it out of there very easily, but you can still bend it very well, but it also holds its shape. So when I go to come out here, like let's say there was a mess in there. If I wanted to fold it over and bring it out. It still holds its shape enough for me to get that mess out of the car and not have the whole mat kind of just flop down on me.

The custom cargo mat really sticks out, because you can see how it goes here, and all the grooves in the back of our Forester. It's made to fit this vehicle. And you can tell it moves around a little bit but not too much just because it's all tucked away in those corners. Another thing I like, around the edges is the side walls. You see, there's a raised wall here, which again, if you do spill a mess in there, you can dry it right out.

It's gonna keep it from going off of the mat. It just doesn't end here, it comes up, and there's gonna have that lip here towards the back and the front too, so just keeping that mess in here on the mat. Overall, I think it's gonna be really helpful to have this. I don't like cleaning out the back of my car that often. So this mat's gonna make that part easier. Whatever mess goes on it, I can easily take this out, spray it with a hose, let it dry out and throw it right back in there, and I never had to get the vacuum. Well, I think that does it. Thanks for hanging out, and I hope this helps..
