Video Transcript for Fit Verified: WeatherTech Front Auto Floor Mats on a 2011 Ford Taurus

Today, on our 2011 Ford Taurus, we're going to be taking a look at the WeatherTech Front Auto Floor Mats in Black, part number WT443021. They're also available in gray, part number WT463021, and then tan, part number WT453021. Here we've got our factory floor mat. As you can see, it doesn't give us a whole lot of coverage. We've got dirt and debris all over the place, and up under the pedals here, you can see how a lot of it gets over the edge and onto the carpet underneath. This floor mat gives us very limited coverage. Now, we can install our WeatherTech. Now, we can take our Weathertech floor mat, slide it up into place there, and right here, these will pop down on the existing tabs in the floor to help secure it into place.

As you can see, this gives us a very good fit with a lot more coverage than that factory floor mat. Here around the edges we've got this nice contoured lip that's raised all the way around to avoid that dirt, debris, and spillage from getting off onto the carpet and underneath. Also, coming up here, we can see where our feet will be up underneath the pedals here. We've got much better coverage going up towards the firewall there. We've got these ridges and channels which are going to help to give us get better grip with our feet and keep our fit up off of any dirt or water that may be down in this floor mat. These ridges and channels are also going to help control anything that may be down here. It's made of a durable thermoplastic material.

It's going to resist drying out and cracking, and that material also helps it to grip the carpet underneath to stay put along with these tabs that clip down. Here on the passenger side as well, we again have very limited coverage. Although this one does go farther up underneath here, it's definitely still going to allow things to get off of it onto the carpet underneath. Let's take this one out. Again, we'll take our WeatherTech mat, slide it up into place here, just push it down to make sure it's nice and secure. Now, again, on this side, we've got all the same features. As you can see, this also goes up very nicely here, but we've got more of that lip around the edge to help give that added protection and sense of mind when it comes to protecting our carpet.

These floor mats are very aesthetically pleasing and go well when color matched with your interior. In order to clean the floor mats, you simple take them out and you can clean them with soap or water and let them air dry, or you could also pick up the WeatherTech Cleaner and Protector Kit, which is part number WT8LTC36K. That's going to complete our look at the WeatherTech Front Auto Floor Mats in Black, part number WT443021, on our 2011 Ford Taurus.
