  1. The genuine Ford rubber all weather matts do not cover any of the sides of the foot wells and only the very bottom. They are also a soft rubber and slide around a lot as people climb in and out despite the little rubber nubs on the bottom. Husky or Weathertech a far superior option where they fit. I ordered the Husky liners and they cover the full front foot well and stay in place. I have not had any issues with them holding their shape, although the retaining button on the drivers floor mat is not molded in like the weathertech. They are instead a 2-piece plastic design that snaps together, sandwiching the plastic between it. They work fine once down, but the caps like to pop apart if you remove the liners like I do in order to hose them out. Some appropriate plastic cement or moulding/weatherstripping glue will fix this. Husky, WeatherTech, and Ford all make floor mats that fit the front row foot wells well within their design. Husky covers almost the entire foot well, but seems like a thinner/lighter build then Weather Tech. Ford's matts are basically just a rubber version of the stock carpet matts. Not worth it if you actually plan to have dirty feet getting in and out of your car. Unfortunately, I have the titanium edition which means I have bucket seats in the second row. The Husky and weathertech floor liners will NOT fit bench seats. The mount points and where they are on the floor is different. The liner will literally come up over the front of the seats. I had to return the ones I bought because of it. The only ones that 'fit' are the Ford ones and they do so poorly. The passengers side fits well but the drivers side does not. There is a notch on the drivers side that does not match anything in the foot well, and results in approximately a 1" by 5" area of floor exposed needlessly. The ford matt does not protect the sides or anything else. They also slide around a lot with people climbing in and out. In retrospect, if I knew then what I know now I would have returned the Ford floor matts as well. The biggest disappointment is that the matts do not stay in place. I have to constantly pull them out from under the front seats or reposition them from side to side. To further add insult to injury they are only obtainable by buying the 4-piece set. So if anyone wants a set of front Genuine Ford rubber all-weather floor mats let me know, I'll make you a deal on them. And since the fit of the third row depends upon the second row, there is no third row option at all from any of them. The short version foes like this: - If you have bench seats then the liners from Husky and WeatherTech will fit good - If you have Titanium or second row bucket seats, just get the first row from Husky/Weathertech, and try to make some universal/generic matts fit where you can. At least that's my 2-cents after spending over $200 trying to figure something out.
  2. I have the same problem with the exact same year/build TC as you. Dealer says it's not a warranty item since the plastic cracked. Basically it's a bad design, not a defect, so it's not considered a warranty item. I'm thinking of taking them off and reinforcing them with metal and epoxy and see what happens. Problem is you have to slide over them to get in and out of the car unless you are 7' tall.
