Video Transcript for Step-By-Step Installation Tutorial for the WeatherTech Front Auto Floor Mats on a 2018 Nissan Rogue

What's up everybody, it's AJ with etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna be checking out these WeatherTech front floor mats on our 2018 Nissan Rogue. Looking at the mat, it's gonna have a rubberized outside on there with a plastic core finish. And what that means, it's not just a very loose rubber mat that like you pick up and kind of just droops down. So it's gonna hold in the middle when you hold it up because of that plastic core, but they're also rubberized on the outside, so it's gonna be easy to clean if it does get dirty, and it just has some grip to it. So it's not just gonna slide around underneath your feet.

Another thing that helps it not slide around, is it's gonna be custom fit for your Rogue. You see it fits right in here with these high walls over here, protecting the carpet, even goes far under the pedals up front as well. Then we come back down closer to the door and see that it sits pretty well there on the door jam as well. Now there is a little bit of a gap there, but I think that will go away once it warms up and fits a little better to your Rogue. It just is out the box right now, so it is still used to being folded up in that box.

Another thing that helps it not slide around is these here, they got the holes in the mat that go around these attachment points, so that holds it in place. You see, as I grab it and try and move it around it's not going anywhere, and I really like that, 'cause then you don't want that mat sliding up underneath your pedals. Taking a look at our passenger side, it looks like it fits just as well over there. It's not going anywhere. Something I wanna look at on these now, are the grooves that are in the mat.

So we're talking about this portion here and that's gonna be good for channels, so if you do spill a soda or your coffee, any kind of liquids, maybe your feet got some snow on there and it melts, it's gonna find these channels and drain down into this portion of the mat. You see how it kind of is indented here And it's used to keep all that in there. That way, the mess settles back here, and this doesn't go everywhere, or shifts around while you're driving. Now, one thing I will say, is since you don't have a lot of room in your Rogue, if you did get this dirty, one of the good things about the WeatherTechs is you can pick it up and take it outside the vehicle and dump it. That will be a little bit difficult, just because you don't have a whole lot of room.

So be very careful when you go to unhook this, lift it out, and dump it. WeatherTech also offers another option for floor mats. So if you're not really sold on how rigid these mats are, you maybe want more rubberized, or like a normal rubber floor mat, they do offer their HP series. So that's gonna be the same custom floor mat, it's just gonna be a little more rubber. So then it'll fit, it'll form fit there, it won't have that plastic core in the middle that keeps it rigid, and then also it won't have the as big WeatherTech logo on there, so that's maybe something that bothers you too, that big, glossy sticker that says "WeatherTech." Maybe you don't wanna see it on your floor mat. That one's just imprinted on there. So, more low and out of the way. The other good thing about that width is the limited room here on the front of your Rogue. You can take that rubberized mat and fold it way easier, to get it out there, to keep that spill contained in there. So that might be a better option, if that's something that's really bugging you. Well, I think that about does it. Thanks for hanging out and I hope this helps..
