Tuxmat liners

Guys,

I just bought these for my mini cooper and it makes my weathertech liners look like P.O.S. pricey but cheaper that weathertech as well. It is made in Canada and only available through Amazon.com or from me as I managed to get distribution rights for Western Canada and US. So if you guys are looking for good luxurious mats and do not want to wait for the boat from Asia and have 1 year North American warranty look no further.

Company name is Tuxmats.

I am waiting for my weathertech replacement liners for my C300, ML350 and GLK350. There are 3 things that I really like about these liners.

1. Area coverage
2. Looks elegant not like weathertech
3. When it gets dirty it is so easy to clean and when you wipe it with a damp rug it does not turn into gray not like weathertech.

You put down weather tech, because you sell these, weather tech hold water they curve up so the snow and water don't leak under the mat , yours allow water to go under the Matt where it will stay wet forever and rot the floor, I think your design is inferior to weather tech for that reason Even mb rubber mats hold water so it doesn't just slide off and go under, I know I have mb rubber mats, your mat design isn't very smart

I've had an issue with my rear weathertechs where they lift up too easily when people are entering and exiting the vehicle. They are so cheap to not make an entire rear row one-piece like the ML.

These appear to be more surface coverage, but I don't like the look of them.

No it's flat , by your toes infront it goes way up but not on the sides. Mb ones also clip in. Weather tech are good but I don't want a big Weather Tech label showing.

It goes all up on the sides. Look at the driver side picture the liners are way up that I managed to tuck them in behind the center console. I have weathertech mats before and when I got these there is no contest that these trumps (not donald trump) the weathermats for coverage. I will post a an actual picture for the W204 shortly.

The photos here are not a Glk or what they look like in a Glk , on the web site they look flat on the back and outer side, meaning water is not remaining on the mat, it's going to go under the mat and not evaporate . At least that's what I see.
Colors, any color you want as long as its black . I have mb brown rubber mat

dude you need to put on your glasses. the photos of the mini cooper clearly show the sides going way up. Going up so much they are tucking into the trim panels above it and the door sill itself. there are a few spots around the gas pedal and netting where its cut a little lower.

im not buying these so i have no dog in this fight, but you can clearly see how these look a heck of a lot nicer than the "plastic trays" called weather tech that look horrendous.

how much water are you dumping into your floor mats anyways...

Look at the tuxmat website. Flat on two sides. Who cares what they do on a Mini Cooper. Last I saw this was GLK stuff.

Do you drive a mini? Then why are you looking at a mini? Do you live where it snows a lot? If you did, and were an outdoors person, you would know you can drag in a lot of snow on your boots, where it's going to melt onto the floor, the water drips off the sides and wets the carpet underneath, how do you think it will evaporate and dry out? With a big rubber floor mat keeping it from getting any air? It won't, it will be wet all winter rotting your floor.

I snowboard in VT with the basic version of weather tech mats in my tundra. Knocking off my boots is plenty. And they have zero lip on their non tub version that just looks like a rubber mat, it's more than enough.

I agree, I'm wrong to judge based on the photos above, I didn't go to the website, if the GLK ones are just flat sheets that's kind of pointless.

It's like two sides have big protection , two don't , strange, I guess the designer wasn't a snow person. ☃️.

I am getting pictures sent to me by the manufacturer for the actual GLK,GLC,ML,GLE and C class liners. I was told it is same with the Cooper (yes I drive a Mini and few MBs currently) and they all go up on ALL sides. With regards to water getting between the mat and the vehicle. A person that maintains his vehicle well will need to push the mats on the sides to dry the water that gets through which should be minimal (its been raining here in Vancouver and I do not see water going in-between the liners and if there is it is so minimal that it dries up quickly). This does not matter if you have a fancy mat like this or just the regular OEM mats water will get in-between but not as much with a tub design liner.

The liners are designed here in Canada.....so the company who scans the footwheels of the cars knows a thing or two about snow.

MB rubber mats , and weather-tech hold water and are superior. These let the water run off two sides.

That's ok, I'm always suspicious, especially when somebody puts down known products, and has a motive for profit.

Guys,

Its the camera angle playing tricks. The first picture clearly shows a return up on the door side. The back side of the front mats have a slight return which I will question as it looks like it only has a small return up or even nothing. I am getting raw pictures sent to me and I will post it here as the manufacturer also admits that the pictures on the web is somehow confusing to look because of the angle of the camera. If it indeed looks like that then it wont work and they need to revise the design.

One other thing.....that picture is not for a GLK it is just a stock picture for another car. I already complain to them that people don't see the actual product on their website.

Ya know , I'm a pro photographer, I make money at it. I took your photos and adjusted them so I could actually see better because of your under exposure. What I saw, drains off, and looks like it fits the Glk .
