Reaching out to hear thoughts on the WeatherTech cargo cover/splash guards versus the OEM ones. Already decided to get the WeatherTech floor cover...Hoping to pick up my new vehicle on July 3rd. Thank you very much for your replies to this posting.

Hey Mrevets, welcome aboard! Am I correct in deciphering you’re a vet that enjoyed the fine cuisine packaged in a thick brown bag, compliments of Uncle Sam? 🙂
Regarding your question, most people prefer the OEM cargo mat because it has a built in crease or groove that allows for easier opening of the under floor storage lid. Regarding splash guards, the OEM ones look very nice, blending in well for a nice factory look. Some like the WT’s for the greater coverage area. The key deciding factor is going to be the type of roads you ride on. For dirt/rocky roads, you’ll get better protection from the WT’s.

Thanks for the reply. Your photos of the WeatherTech floor liner was the deciding factor to go with them versus OEM. I'll be on regular roads so the OEM splash guards will work. I can see why the cargo mat would be better with the OEM to access the "trunk" area. No not a vet... It is Mr with Steve spelled backwards/

I like the coating a lot. Helps making cleaning very easy. Great gloss, no water spots, bird droppings and bug juice come off quite easily with a spray bottle filled with a mix of Optimum No Rinse Wash and Wax and distilled water, or your favorite car wash product. I’ve washed it a few times and I haven’t noticed any scratches at all, or swirl marks. The nice thing is that when the vehicle is somewhat dirty and it rains, the rain washes the dirt off and dries nicely. Water rolls right off. It’s nice to come outside after a rain and see a fairly clean vehicle. But, it’s still early. Only have my Passport for a bit more than two months.
