Hahaha, good enough for me

Do NOT make the mistake I made several years ago for Weathertech liners I had in my previous car. Took them out, washed them and used some Armor All to shine them up. Big mistake! Slipperyer than anything I'd ever experienced. LOL. Had to de-Armor All them. Normally don't let Armor All touch my car but figured they were just floor liners. Couldn't plant my feet to get in or out of the car until the Armor All was removed. Otherwise they are fine! And yes, I got Weathertech liners for my S3 as well. Have them in the my wife's Subaru also. Can't beat them.

Its hard to explain until you have experienced it... I did it once! and only once!

I think there might be a million dollar idea there if Armor All and Weather Tech got together and figured out what they could use this unbelievably slippery plastic for after combining both products!

There has to be some use of by the Department of Defense for that combination. It was unreal. Or maybe coat bobsled runs, skis or something. Seemed worse than ice. And not easy to undo either. LOL.

I got the Weathertech floor liners and Audi rear mats as early X-mas presents. It's the perfect setup! Out of the car, the Weathertechs look like they have too much of a lip/edge to them. But they fit the footwell perfectly. Plus with the floor liners (unlike rubber mats) you don't run the risk of having salty water/snow overflowing the edges and ending up on your carpet. I also really like how the Weathertechs cover a significant portion of the dead pedal and the area behind the back/gas pedals, further protecting the carpet.

The rear Audi mats fit like a glove as well. Definitely a solid winter setup.

I have the Weathertechs in the front right now and they're great. The only minor issue is if my shoes are wet and I rest my foot on the dead pedal, I noticed some water leaks down behind the liner.

I also picked up Weather Techs. I had them in my Accord. Great for keeping snow/ice/water off the interior. I got them in grey to match my two tone interior. The mats are a little darker than the seat grey but i don't mind. I'll also be ordering the trunk mat. Great products. You can't go wrong with them!
