Best winter mats and mystery passenger footwell hatch

[MajorTom]

Just in case anyone is in the market for good winter mats, IMHO the best ones out there are the Weathertech Floorliners. Had them in both my previous Jags and just got a set for the F-Type. Never understood why the OEM ones are so rubbish in comparison.

Btw, does anyone know what this stuff behind this passenger side hatch is? Is I know, could probably look it up in the workshop manual...

Hmm...don't know why the pics showed up so many times. Looks like a bug. Mods feel free to clean up.

If you tap/click on the small pencil at the head of your post you should be able to edit it and sort it out yourself.

For anybody in the UK interested, they are available direct from weathertech here - https://www.weathertecheurope.com/uk/ja ... igitalfit/

There doesn't seem to be a UK dealer listed on their site though, which is a pity as the price is heavily marked up buying direct from the above link


EDIT: Seeing the post after this, I didn't notice the £200 price was ex. VAT and shipping

Looks like they belong in a Defender.
Pricey too and what appears ex vat so import charges of around £60?

Cheers, that was actually the first thing I tried but in the editor each pic only appears once so can't be fixed there. Will leave it as is then.

129€ from the German amazon but that's LHD of course.

I first made the mistake of ordering them from the weathertech Europe site, which in fact was just their US site. There they cost something like 207€ plus whatever customs charges, VAT and other protectionist rubbish that would be applied to the delivery from the US. After having ordered them from there I happened to see that weathertech also sell them through amazon for 129€ so I canceled that US order and bought them from amazon instead. That was the only odd thing - their official site should also refer to their European distributor in Italy instead of shipping them all the way from the US. When I ordered my first set 8 years ago I'm pretty sure I ordered them from the official site and they definitely came from Italy too.

They're really good actually and, fit perfectly and provide so much better protection than the OEM rubber mats.
