dmp Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 Anyone try one of these? http://www.slickcar.com/productdetails.asp?ProductID=4141 I've been carrying a lot of car parts as of late in my RX and wanted to protect my trunk and the back of my car seats. I like the fact that this also covers the lift gate. I'm just wondering if this is really durable? Thanks in Advance, Danny
tonystewart Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 That sure looks nice, I use weathertech because it holds fluids.
Rya Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 I use weathertech because it holds fluids. This product protects the floor, rear seats & sidewalls, unlike regular floor mats & cargo mats (WeatherTech, Husky, Nifty, etc). If you're using the rear of the vehicle for hauling or have a dog that would be in the cargo area, this looks like a good product to have. What is weird in the ad, it doesn't say what it's made of. It also doesn't say anything about protecting from liquids, but if that's not a concern, that will not be a problem. I can't attest to the durability as I have never used (or seen) this product, but you might want to find out what it's made of. That might give you some idea of how it will hold up. It also might not be an exact match in color - they're using a standard gray or tan, but again that might not be an issue for you. One more thing - I didn't see any warranty info, you might want to find that out too. If you get one - let us know how you like it!
tonystewart Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 I had a five gallon spill of gas in our 06 Sienna Limited, didn't get a drop on the carpet. That is why I recommended Weathertech. This other deivice is perfect for hauling stuff that would scuff the sides of the vehicle. My two cents

The deep "pockets" keep the liquids contained. You could even use both products together in snowy or wet weather to really keep things clean. :)
tonystewart Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 Using both items together would be the best idea.
blk_on_blk Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 Hmm, that thing looks like it's made of the same type of nylon cloth that sunshades are made from. With all the wrikles in it for a 'display picture', I'd say the material is pretty thin. It also looks like the seams are stitched, which would be leak points. It's probably pretty tough as far as ripping, and it probably keeps dirty and thick liquids from getting into your interior, but I doubt it does much of anything for impact (like things bumping around in the back and creating gouges) resistance. Yeah, the best would be to use the two products in tandem.
