This really only applies to us folks in the snowy regions.

I absolutely love how my Huskies contain all the foul weather debris. They are keeping my carpet in reasonably decent shape.

Beef #1: The water has no where to go, except get soaked up by my pant leg. That water is COLD!!!

Beef #2: With sub-freezing temps, any water that is left on the liners quickly becomes a sheet of ice. I've cranked my knee on the dash more than once this winter (in my JGC, not Runner thankfully)

I've resorted to buying a black towel to soak up the water when I think of it...

Anyone else having "issues"

Cebby my complaint is I had rubber mats in on top of my huskies so the moisture would sit under there and get funky. It took me a couple days to figure out why my windows were fogging up all of sudden on the inside after hauling 4 people around last weekend. There was water under all the mats. I've since ditched the rubber mats till spring....they were TAZ and added character is the only reason they are there to start with.. that and my mag is mounted to the passenger side one.

Cebby

Joey, do you have your mag mounted to the husky or TAZ?

100% agreement Cebby. Every other day or so, I just pull out the liner and dump the excess water.

Sounds like it is time to invent the latest mod...

The "Husky liner drain tube mod"...

Seems like dumping them out periodically or wiping them out with shop rags would be a simple fix, but down here where I live, when it snows, people rush the store and buy up all the bread and milk and then stay at home and don't drive. Last snow I remember seeing was around 1993 and then we got about 7". I was without power for a week and built 24 snowmen in various stages of combat in my front yard. Looked like a freakin platoon in combat!

Oh how I love living in the South!

If you have any significant amount of water on the mats they will slosh out when you make an abrupt turn or stop and your carpets will get wet. This is really the only beef I got.

Wow... you dump a bottle of water in your mats? I and 5 others went skiing for 6 solid days and didn't take off ski/board boots until back at the house. I didn't do anything to the mats (front or rear). Yeah the water would freeze and that's not ideal, but I can't think of any other way to take care of it except wait until it warms up and then dump/wash them out. It sure beats letting all that gunk get on your carpets. I have no complaints with my huskies. They've done what they were indended to do - kept the carpets clean and dry. I can't believe anyone would have enough water in their mats to have it slosh out. If you got that much in there, I'm skeptical it all came from your feet.

When you are in and out of your truck all day in a heavy wet snow, it tends to melt and water builds up over time and yes it will slosh out if it builds up too much

Here is a little trick I learned with 8 years of living at a ski resort. When you get into your truck sit down and hang your feet outside and kick them together to knock the snow off your boots. Works pretty good for mud too.

Guess if you get enough water in there they would run over
When its all over just take them out of the truck hose them off and let dry and toss them back in.

My rubber mats get icy, that causes some problems for my wife. She's shorter than me and has to climb up, and sometimes her feet slip. Actually, just being wet can cause problems.

Personally, I like to let the water in mine freeze so that when I take the time to dump them- the water doesn't slosh out and it is nice and clean. Just pull it out- snap it back-and the ice pops right out. It makes some pretty neat scuptures...

Spoken like a true Southerner!

I've tried driving back to my house (about 1 mile) with ski boots on- VERY tricky. Snow board boots aren't much better.
The other thing people buy in the south before it snows is toilet paper.

Cebby

Ummmm...no

I've never had the freezing problem as I usually park my rig in the garage so whatever water is in there just evaporates overnight...but then again I haven't used them in more than 2 inches of snow so I can't quite justify them for that purpose...but I love them!

Yeah, I noticed the whole freezing water thing this winter. Didn't really get on my nerves, the only thing I didn't like is that it was too damn cold to pull the liners out and dump them. I cleaned them today though, still look almost new.
