Genuine Subaru & VW Floor Mats

Floor Mats: Buying Guide and FAQs

What are They Made of?

Whether they're just your everyday car mats or comparable interior accessories such as floor liners, the answer's generally the same: either fabric (carpet), rubber, or vinyl.

What's the Difference Between Materials?

It comes down to their absorbency or resistance to dirt and muck, and this correlates. Carpeted floor mats keep them off floors by soaking them up, while rubberized and vinyl floor mats capture and contain them. The latter are sometimes called "all-weather" for this reason.

What Features Can They Have?

Other than stain-, slip-, and fade-resistance, those that either make them easier to clean or help them grip floors better. Examples of the former: caps, high treads, spikes, raised edges, or bevels. Examples of the latter: clips, retainers, or nibs.

When Do You Change Them?

If you notice they're tearing, slipping, and crumpling up. All three make it easier for grime to accumulate and get under them, damaging your car floors. Worse yet, they make it much easier for a mat -- for instance, on your driver's side -- to get stuck under your accelerator or brake pedal, putting you and your passengers in danger during a drive.

Why Buy Genuine OEM Floor Mats?

They're manufactured for your make and model specifically, meaning that they'll fit it, guaranteed.
