Video Transcript for Compatible? Yes! The WeatherTech Front Auto Floor Mats Fits a 2017 Kia Sorento

Today, on our 2017 Kia Sorrento, we'll be having a look at and installing the WeatherTech Front Auto Floor Mats in black, part number WT447701. Also available in tan as part number WT457701 and in gray, part number WT467701. Now, what I really like about these mats compared to others in the market is how well these fit in our vehicle. That's because WeatherTech makes digital measurements of every car they make mats for, providing us a nice fit, which follows all the contours of our vehicle. Here's what it looks like installed on the driver's side of our Sorrento. As you'll see, it provides full coverage. Now, you'll notice our mat extends up by our threshold here.

We have this raised lip, which follows around the entire perimeter of our mat and this will help contain any spills that may occur. Now, our mat even goes up over our factory foot rest right here offering protection for it. Now, our mat extends up in behind our brake pedal here and protects our carpet against the fire wall as far as possible and extends right up next to our gas pedal, which is unique on this vehicle since it's hinged at the floor. The mat can't go underneath it. Now, our mat has these nice cut outs here, which go into our factory floor mat retention hooks providing a nice secure fit, so the mat doesn't slip around and slide on us. We have these nice channels here, which will help divert any water or spills away from our feet, so we don't have to worry about our feet slipping on our pedals as we're driving. Now, we'll show you how easy these mats are to install.

Slide it up underneath our dash, drop it down into place, and then push it down onto the floor mat hook and it snaps into place. As you'll notice, we have all the same features as we have on our driver's side mat. We have our channels here to divert water away from our feet. We have the nice contours, which go along our threshold against our seat area here, and extends way up underneath our dash against the fire wall. Now, these mats are constructed of a rubberized thermoplastic material, which won't crack, fade, or break over the course of time. They are very durable and they will last the life of your vehicle.

Now, for cleaning these mats, it's a very simple process. For a minor spill, just take a damp cloth and wipe it down. If they're really dirty, you can remove them from the vehicle, hose them off in your driveway with a garden hose, use some soap if you need to, rinse them off, let them air dry out in the sun, place them back in the vehicle. Also available on our website, if you'd like to purchase it, is the WeatherTech Cleaner and Protector Kit for WeatherTech mats. It's part number WT8LTC36K. That completes your look at and installation of the WeatherTech Front Auto Floor Mats in black, part number WT447701 on our 2017 Kia Sorrento..
