I have them in my 2016 HSH. They are a pocket, but water will stay in that area as there is a ridge around the gas pedal. It attaches by the hook, that part is elevated too. They fit edge to edge, no sliding. They are soft plastic, but are not smooth, sort of bumpy. They retain the water. Never tried to see how much, but the driver's side has only a little 3/4" ridge by the gas pedal. Otherwise they are pretty high on all other sides. They are $$$, but perfect fit and have kept my feet dry as they are also ridged. So melted snow stays away from your shoes.

 

I cannot answer #1

I have a set in my Toyota, not my Sonata. They fit well. They do NOT move around. Would I buy them again, absolutely.

 

I went with Husky mats as they run 30-40% less than WeatherTech mats. Had them in my 2013 Sonata for a couple years, then promptly bought them again for my 2015 Sonata. Coming up on the 3rd year, the upholstery underneath still looks factory new.

They have a lot of teeth on the bottom to grip and stay put. Your feet will slip a little when they have small puddles of water or slush, but as long as you aren't also putting weight on the mats at the same time, the rubber remain grippy enough that you will not slide around.

 

I also purchased teh Husky mats and am happy with them

 

Me and my whole family have been using Weathertech for over 15 yrs and every vehicle have a perfect fit. Between the two families all 7 vehicles have Weathertech Floorliners so that tells you how much we love these floorliners. The best thing about these floor liners is that you can always sell it to get some of your money back if you don’t own the vehicle anymore.

Husky.........are great in my Sonata.....cover well, don't move around, rear one pc is am little hard to remove but great coverage......p

 

I’ve owned both, Weathertech and Husky. I prefer Husky because of the teeth on the bottom, higher dead pedal coverage and they hold up better over time.

It is raining. Pardon the dirty mats.

 

Thanks that helps. I'm was concerned with the dead pedal coverage in case I could feel the ridge with my foot which would end up bothering me.

 

I have the 3D Maxpider mats for my 2018 Sonata and I found them to be superior over the Weathertech mats. I've used Weathertech for my last 4-5 vehicles and I love the Maxpider mats.

I was thinking of those as well. They are cheaper then the WeatherTechs and the reviews are mostly positive. Some reviewers on Amazon have mentioned that they can be hard to install (mostly concerned about the hooks). Did you find that to be the case? How hard are they to remove? Do they fully cover the dead pedal? They don't have any channeling on them so I was curious how or where the water would tend to pool? Do you or any else by any chance have a picture of them installed on the driver side?

 

3D Maxpider Mats



The 3D Maxpider mats are a bit more difficult to install because the fit is much more precise than the weathertech mats. They also have a lined layer under the rubber making causing more friction during the initial install. The upside is that it provides a functional anti-slide mating to the factory carpet. The tighter fit makes the 3D mats look beautiful in the car, as if they were OEM. IF you have the carbon fiber look trim (I think Hyundai calls it 3D something) inside, like the Sport model, the texture surface of the mat compliments it well!

The driver mat does cover virtually the entire dead pedal. The rear mat fits very well (one piece) and does not require the hook. The mat stays in place and has never slipped out of place on me, despite having my 3 kids going in and out of the car. The mats also, unlike the weathertech mats, come out the box unfolding very flat. I have had weathertech mats that have required some significant time settling before they lay flat enough that was acceptable. The weathertech mats have slightly better traction when wet. The 3D mats are also thicker.

Removing the mats, particularly the front mats, do require more effort than the weathertech mats. Again, this is due to the tighter tolerances.

If I had to do it all over again, without a doubt, I would repurchase these Maxpider mats over the weathertech. Hope this helps.

See images below - excuse the debris.

Thank you very much for the write-up and the pictures. Did you encounter any issues with the two hooks on the driver side in terms of installation or removal in any way?

While I'm very tempted to get these I'm still worried about how well they would perform in the winter. It can be very easy to track snow onto the floor and they do not have any channel guides to trap or disperse the snow as it melts. Still not sure if this is an issue or not.

 

I had weathertech in my 2008 mazda3. One of the thing's that I didn't like about them is that they barely covered the dead pedal. Only like half. I bought a set of 3dmaxpider for my 2017 sonata. I don't know how the weathertechs are for the sonata but the 3dmaxpider almost fully covers the dead pedal.

I don't really notice water pooling but I'm not getting in with wet feet that often. Best I can recall, they were a bit difficult to install but not that bad. I don't really remove them that often. The hooks on the back side can be a bit irritating on the hands. Kind of like pointy velcro. They don't move at all once installed.

I like them much better than the weathertech's I had in my mazda. They don't have the channels but after using them I like the textured surface of the 3dmaxpiders better.

edit: Not sure why my pictures are upside down. Even if I flip them before uploading they are still upside down.

 

Thanks for the photos, that really helps. I'm now strongly leaning towards purchasing these instead of the WeatherTech.

 

Attached is an image of Husky liners in my Sonata. I really like how they completely cover the dead pedal. I highly recommend them.

 

Thanks for the picture. That is exactly what I was looking for. If anyone can post a similar picture of the WeatherTech one as a comparison that would be greatly appreciated.

 

I don't really notice water pooling. But like gb25, my shoes don't really have water/ice/snow very often. So unless you spill water, I don't see pooling being an issue. The 3D Max does have kind of a dimpled texture. I haven't personally had either Husky or Weathertech but had friends/family that did. I did notice after some time they got scuffed and seemed to look a little worn. After about 14/15 months my 3D Max still looks pretty new. The trunk liner, may show a little more wear...but very negligible still. I bowl so I have heavy bags in/out quite often. I don't mean it's scuffed or anything bad, just not new looking anymore. I guess to people not knowing, they may assume it still is new though. Plus I have had quite a few spills food/liquids...etc in the trunk area. I have never taken them out though. Like I said before I wipe it clean basically when there is anything that needs it.

 

Another very satisfied husky user here. They do not move (they fit very snug in the floorboard) and the teeth on the back that grab the carpet still grab on and do their job almost 2 years later. And yes the dead pedal has full coverage. The sides are pretty high and I'd almost bet these would easily contain a spilled route 44 sonic drink. Plus husky mats have a life time warranty.

 

I have the 3D Max floor mats in my Sonata and they have been great.
We've had them for over a year and they have held up well even with a kid in the car.


My Mom has a set in her 2018 Sante Fe and she loves them.

 

After seeing all the different floor mats, I’m leaning towards the husky because it’s only 5$ more than the 3D max one and it has more grooves..helpful post

 

@;

I agree. It's not what originally envisioned with this thread but I'm glad it went in this direction These do all seem like good choices so far.

 

If you live in a snow area the Husky mats may be the better option. The grooves will trap snow from your shoes.

No snow here so the 3D Max mats are perfect.

 

Not sure you can fix it now, but it may be helpful for people in the future that do a search on "Weathertech" to be able to find this. You have it misspelled as "Weahtertech " in your subject for this topic.

Thanks for pointing that out, I did not even notice it. Unfortunately, I don't see a way to edit the title to WeatherTech. Perhaps a moderator could change it for me.

I would love to see a picture of the driver's side WeatherTech (especially the dead pedal) to see how much they cover compared to the others.

 

Husky Liner is the better choice, hands down. Very happy with mine.

 

The carpet hooks are bent back towards the seat with the openings facing the seats.
When removing the mats you would have to pull up and back towards the seats to get the clips to release.
They are very tight and will not come apart easily.
