WeatherTech Long Term Review - Floor Liners
I HAVE 4 in y family,do the MAINTENANCE,AND LIKE ME,YOU WILL HAVE NO PROBLEMS! Most complaints are by people who never had one and just use their uneducated American car hatred !
Mine will only start if I'm inside the car.
I have full expansion tank but the radiator is empty everyday when I remove the pressure cap in the morning to check it. Haven’t seen any leaks. Is it okay to refill it?
It’s fine to refill, you need to find out where your coolant is going. Might be a leak or might be going into the oil cooler or engine oil, or out the exhaust
@@KurtofTrades I changed the radiator cap. I also used k-seal before but don’t know if I should keep using it. Do you have a video that demonstrates how to check for these leaks you mentioned?
Im curios why you think that you will need to replace a clutch at around 100k miles? I have a 97 camry with manual transmission and v6. I replaced the clutch 10 years ago and drive an average of 25k miles a year.
Thank you for this! I have been researching for an hour and going back and forth between all our Subarus thinking we had problems.
Amazing. Does the video wall switcher automatically “split” the screens? Or how do you configure that. Sorry I’m having a slow day. I’ve watched through twice and might’ve missed that explanation
You can change how it splits the screens with the remote, I think I show at the end. It can cycle through 2x2 which is for 4 player. 2x1 which will work for top/bottom 2 player splitscreen, and you can also go 4x1 which will just push the whole screen through to every tv, so you can have some options for different games.
@@KurtofTrades ah. I realize now it’s a “video wall converter” as you stated, and not a simple matrix switch. That’s where my brain stopped lol. Thanks! This is so smart. Do you find it cuts the screens pretty cleanly? Cause essentially all it’s doing is dissecting the image across the middle on both axes. Have you noticed any games where it’s a bit off? I’m considering doing this for OG Xbox. Imagine halo ce like this or even co op games!
It does cut pretty cleanly, it may take a couple pixels off but nothing too bad. Each tv is a little different.
Your video was very helpful. My ‘14 Forester had this problem. I felt someone must have a video where I could see that switch itself to determine if I could just fix it by just tweaking it. Your video clearly showed me where it was and it could be done. My repair was successful and as a bonus I cleaned up all the sticky gooey stuff that has accumulated in the center console these past 10yrs.
Wow, thank you! Great video! I have a 2012 overland. I’ve had ( or still have) most of the issues you mention! The rough morning shift is one that I’ve been concerned about… but no longer concerned! Thank you!
I love the fluid film Videos and have been watching since year 2, I keep coming back every year lol. when you apply if for the winter, do you wash your car throughout the winter? I find myself having to reapply in the suspension/wheel well areas. Should I stay away from my wheels when washing the exterior? Or keep washing?
I don’t wash mine at all in the winter, it only helps remove it faster.
Washing the exterior is fine though
Would you use it on a truck that already got undercoated?
If it was undercoated this year then no, if it was undercoated last year or later then yes it’s fine.
You should try New Hampshire Oil (NHOU). I’ve found it to be better than both FF and SS
Buy a full aluminum oil cooler
Hi Kurt, I was thinking of ordering this. When you say that "special functions" cost additional money, what does that mean? Like, is reading the ABS codes a special function or is that a standard function. Thanks in advance for your help.
Reading codes is included. Special functions vary by manufacturer but includes things like abs sensor relearn, Ecu relearn, and things like calibrating. Depends on your car what it includes.

I now run 5W-40 and from about 50K in kilometres until now about 110K in kilometres or 60K in miles I burn 2 Lt of oil between each service. Outback 2.5.
2015 limited, stalls while driving randomly. Ended up being the lock up torque converter solenoid sticking and staying in overdrive stalling motor.
Camshaft, lifter issues, and oil cooler plug bursting😂 all within 2 years of owning my jeep.
Perfect, just what I needed, also I was lucky enough that I found this hinge on Amazon for $22. My hinge just broke and I was thinking that I was going to need to buy a new cargo box as I didn’t want to deal with the inconvenience of not having it fully open.
Good job on the video. I own two 2021 Grand Jeep Cherokee V8 Hemi and will start doing my oil change soon!
Thats crazy! I did hear that it creeps, but this is the first video I've seen that shows the extent of it. It didn't realise it happened to this extreme. How did you spray the inside of your doors? Did you remove the inside door cards or did you spray it in through holes? I'm going to be doing mine using a spray gun and I'm concerned about spraying it in through holes in the doors because I dont want it going all over the glass and the window winder mechanism.
It’s really good stuff. For the doors I sprayed in from the bottom drain holes using the straw that comes with the cans.
I have a 2011 Forester that I really noticed at my last oil change didn't have much oil left. Changed out the PCV valve and awaiting the next oil change, but noticed my oil level was dropping still. It takes 0w20 right now. You mentioned using a slightly heavier oil. What would you recommend?
You have no idea my friend
My headlight wouldn’t break loose so I had to go left hand through the hole in the wheel well and then right hand over the bumper into the hood and push with both my left pointer and right pointer finger.
I have one exactly like that called BOYA, which is pretty neat
Sounds like sand mode is what id want always with how it wont slow me right? With gas i need nothing slowing my whip. Unless im not understanding right. But since im afraid ill break something ill just keep it in auto mode for driving aro<nd daily.
Very interesting and very variated chanel.
Had them for years on cherokee and grand cherokee. They are great but hard. Slipery too I changed for lasefit. More caoutchou, more like the orriginal mopar jeep one. Patern is better and water grouve also deeper for snow as well.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee's ...more details on Selec-Terrain. Here’s a breakdown of what happens in each mode: ### 1. Auto Mode - **Stability Control**: Automatically adjusts to provide a balanced blend of on-road and off-road performance. - **Transfer Case**: Distributes power between the front and rear axles as needed for traction. - **Other Adjustments**: The vehicle adjusts throttle response, transmission shifting, and suspension settings if equiped,,,for a smooth, versatile drive. ### 2. Snow Mode - **Stability Control**: Enhanced to prevent wheel slippage on icy or snowy surfaces. In motion... - **Transfer Case**: Adjusts to provide a 50/50 power split between the front and rear axles for improved stability. This is a key factor. - **Other Adjustments**: The system adjusts throttle response to reduce the chance of wheel spin and optimize traction. Like departing in second speed when possible ### 3. Sand Mode - **Stability Control**: Allows for more wheel slip to help maintain momentum in loose, sandy terrain. - **Transfer Case**: Adjusts to allow more power to be sent to the rear wheels. (Its the mode to spin in cercle on sand and snow) - **Other Adjustments**: Throttle response is sharpened, and transmission holds lower gears longer to provide better traction and prevent bogging down. Act like sport mode without stability control. ### 4. Mud Mode - **Stability Control**: Allows more wheel slip to maintain momentum in muddy conditions. - **Transfer Case**: Sends power to the wheels with the most traction. - **Other Adjustments**: Adjusts throttle response and transmission to keep the vehicle moving steadily through sticky terrain. Its less agressive and more steady than sand mode.. try it ;) ### 5. Rock Mode (available on 4WD models) - **Stability Control**: Maximized for controlled navigation over rocky terrain. - **Transfer Case**: Locks the center differential for equal power distribution between the front and rear axles. - **Other Adjustments**: Adjusts throttle response and engages the vehicle’s low-range gears to enhance low-speed control and torque. Ideal to back up snowmobile trailler on snow hill. Be a gentleman with it lol its low gear but if you floor it its powerfull you may surprise yourself. Just adding these cause you said you never use it. I used all modes often. North Quebec Canada winter 🤷♂️ Snow mode is also great in heavy pouring rain. As it becone AWD constant. Sand mode is preferable in deep snow. Snow mode being daily winter driving on snow surface. But it is really bad for deep snow or stop and go on deep snow and ice like stop signs.
A doctor's evaluation to a patient should be so encouraging
Thank you.
Should I top up the radiator, in the case it is not full?
Yes you definitely can and should
@@KurtofTrades Thank you Sir!
i just left it in the ignition 2 clicks up for 2 minutes and it came out.
I just traded in my 2011 Honda Accord Crosstour w/141K miles. Just shy of 13 years with WT floor liners installed on day one. While the initial rich black color had faded a bit, they still looked great. Same success with many other WT sets going back to the days that they were marketed under the MacNeil name. I still have a pair of the trimmable, rubber-like deep channel mats from early days that I use for other purposes. I still miss the red trimmed perimeter - looked sharp. Couple of key things - it helps to clean them regularly, or at least vacuum them. Like any similar material, getting sand, small pebbles and the like built up between your feet and the mat is like sandpapering your cars paint job. Second, be very careful if thinking about applying appearance enhancers to bring back the color or sheen, etc. I’ve found that some can end up making the mats slippery. This includes products used by professional detailers. That material can also transfer from the liners to your brake & accelerator pedals via your shoes - not what you want. I know WT sells their own brand of cleaning products but I felt they were too pricey and opted not to purchase them. One nice benefit I’ve discovered is that I can sell my used liners for about half of what I paid for them. I reinstall the unused, carpeted factory floor mats and it does help the used car sell for a bit more. I just purchased and installed a full set of WT floor liners for my 2025 Pilot, opting for the newest HP version. Indeed, prices have increased since 2011 however these new mats are great. They are more of a moulded rubber compound vs the injected molded “plastic” previous generation. The underside has (sharp) nibs that give them good gripping power to the carpet in addition to the lock downs. It makes them just a bit tricky to install because they do not slide into place like the earlier versions. The fit is excellent as the new material is softer and tends to hug the side wells better. The WT badge is gone but if that helps keep the price down, I’m good with that. I too noted that the left foot pad for the driver never seems to go high enough but upon close examination of my current vehicle, the floor pan goes three dimensional just above the foot pad, curving outward and back which probably isn’t a good setup to assure a taller mat would stay put and not curl. WT may not be the lowest upfront cost floor liner available today but they serve me very well in the longer run. Cheers!
I had a 2016 Outback in the UK. The CVT was great if you know how to drive one as they are designed. No flooring it, you make good progress with very little effort.
i sprayed electronic cleaner on electrical cable(where cable wire go to whatever ,exposed wire cable)
I didn’t know people put so much thought into this, but I shift into reverse or drive and get moving the moment the engine cranks up.
I think i can drive a cold engine if i do not "rev up"
I just wire sanded the entire frame of my truck and applied rust converter..... I want to paint it with frame paint to make it look nice and then apply fuel film.. what do you recommend? or should I just leave it like that and apply fuel film?
Thx
It's 1200 miles for a consumption test
couldnt you use a black plastic restore spray or something
Hey all. I need some help. I got all the trim out but I can’t find any dark orange/brown switches. All are white on my 2016 Crosstrek Premium. I tried replacing the one that seemed to be going to the trunk switch and it didn’t work as the connection is different. Is it hidden or did I get the wrong part? (I got the G instead of J).
Thanks for the Kick diy video! Saved me a couple bucks 🙏🏻
Do you remove the previous application before you apply if again? Or do you just touch up?
I just spray more on every year
@@KurtofTrades but do you wash it off before spraying?
No I don’t
You they’ll hold up if you have to go to a touchless car wash?
Collaboration?
Not sure what you mean
@@KurtofTrades I’ll send you an email
Hi this video was really helpful. My problem is overheating and I have already changed my cylinder head. How do I find out what causes this problem. I live in west Africa, Sierra Leone
There's no way the auto manufacturers would put up with warranty engine failures caused by FRAM. In the 80s at least one of the manufacturers took Jiffy Lube to court for using substandard oil and won.
Thanks for the tips! I recent got myself a foreseter and the oli lamp turned on after putting 4k miles on it. Hopefully its nothing crazy
Thank you for the video. I'll give my two cents : Give us back the manual transfer case stick. Give us back some manual transmissions ! Even in the Grand Cherokee I'd buy it.
Grand Cherokee has turned towards the budget luxury market, it will never get a manual
