Offroad Trailblazers and Envoys

WeatherTech rear cargo area mat

Trailblazer and Envoy related, but not off-road related...

Just bought a new WeatherTech digital fit rear cargo area mat and installed it today. The fit is less then great, especially for the price. The temperature today was a little below 0*C when I installed it.
Anybody else have one and how was the fit?
I'm not sure if I should return it or wait for a warmer day and see if it forms into place better.

I have one in the back of my TB. That's how they fit. Their idea of "fit" is a bit different than mine, but I still use it anways. Mine was free...

I did bring it inside and laid it flat by the heater for the night, will try it later today and see if it is any better. But if that is the fit of them I will likely return it, as it was far from free. For the price it should fit much better, for a small fraction of the price I could just cut some rubber and have the same fitment. The front floor mats are great and fit perfect.

After sitting flat on the floor with books on the outside edges over night the fit is better. I think with a warm sunny day it will form into place even a little better.

Good!

I gave up on the cleanliness of my cargo area many moons ago...

Well that sucks, I'm glad to know that's how they fit.

Any updates? I've been eyeballing one of these weathertech sets for a while, especially for the cargo area... But I'm interested to see if it fits any better now that you've had some time for it to settle? Otherwise I feel like a generic mat might be a better use of the money if the weathertech doesn't fit as well as they advertise.

The fit is still about the same as the last pictures I posted, it hasn't got any better. I'd opt for a generic cargo mat at a much cheaper cost then the WeatherTech.
Now the front floor mats are still great and well worth the money.

Husky is similar fit.
