Winter Mat Option for the G05
TuxMat is Canadian based. Super friendly folks up north. Here are some pics. Last edited by arciga18; 02-02-2020 at 10:29 PM.. |

I still need to take the time to install some clips if I want.
The urgency was to get this installed ASAP because the carpet mats were getting ruined with the recent salt / snow. The entire set front/ rear trunk retails for ~330. If you are serious about ordering, PM and I'll share my order number. It will take 10 dollars off. Previously I have always purchased the bmw liners (not the al weather mats) but I feel these provide way better coverage. Also, now with Brian (if you know, you know ) gone I am more willing to shop around. |

I had people reach out and ask where i ordered from. They are finding it hard to order from the canadian site.
I just ordered from tuxmat (period) com which offered me free shipping in the US. |

Does the trunk mat cover the hooks? If yes then does it stay lifted up from those points like it is seen in your pictures of the trunk area?

Do things slide around with this cover? I am wondering if the VW CarGO plastic dividers are compatible with our cargo area carpet.

Some closeups of WeatherTech cargo mat and TuxMats (next post, first and second row seats). Adding these images as a comparison points. Sorry OP, not trying to hijack your thread.

TuxMats closeups (left hand drive). The retention pin and hole is only for the driver side (first and fourth image below). Perimeter around the hole is raised and the pin portion plugs into the hole with tight seal. I don't expect water to penetrate/sip through. However, the pin will poke into the carpet underneath. Seems well made and washable by hose/spray.

That Mat sits flat over the hooks. The hooks are flush with the carpeting.
Yes, things do slide around. I took an action shot after normal driving . |

One thing I was being careful for is making sure that the rear mats are fitted well under the air vents under the front two seats. I made sure to place the plastic retention clips under the vent holes to prevent the mats from ever climbing over the vents and obstruct the air flow.

Yes the Tuxmats have a slight shine on them. But they lose this luster after some use and wash. I love them! I have been using WeatherTech as far as i can remember but actually prefer these now. They have better coverage and some suppleness in them that they remain flat and in place.

I bought a set of these for the front/rear. https://3dmatsusa.com/collections/cu...AyMUBCTVdAWDU= 3D Maxipiders. I opted for a different one for the rear that had cutouts so the tie-down loops were accessible. At the time, they weren't sure the 3D version would fit the 45e, but I think it will...

Amazing what I learn here. The TuxMat store is a few km from my home in Toronto. Similarly, the Grizzl-e factory and where I bought my Level 2 charger is also located a few km away.

I'm bringing this thread back to life...although it's out of season.
Yesterday I visited the TuxMat warehouse store in Toronto. Although it was still closed due to Covid, a representative met me at the front door and showed me a sample product. It looked good quality but what struck me was the light weight compared to my historical experience with heavy duty OEM rubber mats which weigh a ton. I always equated weight with quality even though I hated cleaning and storing them. Do the TuxMats stand up to the wear and tire of the winter season they're designed for? I want to say yes, but welcome some real world experience here. |

I liked the Tuxmat for their luxurious look and good workmanship when removed them from shipping box first time. Great quality, no doubt! I, however, returned them back - because of their not so great practicality in snowy/winter conditions. These mats simply do not allow for a close fit around the gas pedal and are too shallow to keep enough snow-melted water contained. I have tried Weather Tech too and also returned them back - for the very same reason, plus a necessity to replace OEM Velcro pads mat hardware with Weather Teck special hardware. Decided to keep WT trunk liner only. So, put back the OEM BMW rubber mat set presented to me by my dealer at a time of car arrival. I deem that the BMW mats, while not perfect, are better than the above mentioned aftermarket for winter/snow season.

Let's take the second row. I like that Tux mat is a single piece . It has a very high back piece that provides good coverage. The front passenger side almost has too much coverage . You might have a point that there is never enough coverage around the gas pedal . I think that is a safety issue and common for all options. Historically there was alway a part number for all weather mats and different one for a liner. The liner was the one offered the most coverage . |
