FWIW - WeatherTech Floorliners

[gdmjoe]

While WeatherTech doesn't make/offer floorliners specifically for the 2003+ Crown Victoria LX Sport or Marauder, I've found that their 2003+ Lincoln Town Car offering does fit (with some minor alteration).

Opted for only the front .....

The black WeatherTech definitely looks like a great option! Especially for those of us in the Northern part of the country where we get snow five or six months of the year.

Drive a Marauder in winter? ...Blasphemy I tell you. ..Lol.

Nobody needs to argue the "drive it vs save it for the next guy" routine. We're adults, we'll some of us, lol and can decide to drive it year round or not all by ourself.

Great. I was wondering about this per my previous weathertech posts.

[88LTDCV351]

What did you use to cut the center hump out?

[CoreyM75]

What did you use to cut the center hump out?

I would think a decent pair of scissors would do it. If not a razor blade.

A pair of scissors.

*as CoreyM75 noted.

Lol, I know... However in some of the northern parts of the country, bad weather is almost unavoidable. She does get washed, waxed and vacuumed every week though. No rust anywhere. Call it a labor of love. :)

Ahhhh... that'll work for me!

Thanks for posting this find, gdmjoe. Can I ass-ume this mat will also fit an '00 GMQ?

RF Overlord - Thanks for posting this find, gdmjoe. Can I ass-ume this mat will also fit an '00 GMQ?
Can't think of a reason why not.

Should be (?) good-to-go for 1998+ Panthers. *But then, I have no 1st hand experience, so it'd be PWRA - Proceed With Reckless Abandon.

EDIT: Using the parts lists for the Crown Victoria, did some research on the floor pans.
1998-2000 F8AZ-5411135-AA
2001-2002 1W7Z-5411135-AA | 2W7Z-5411135-BA (Sport *assuming the only difference is the opening for the floor shift)
2003-2004 3W7Z-5411135-AA
2005-2007 5W7Z-5411135-A1998+ floor pans are all the same.

$159 shipped from Weathertech, nice to see everyone looking for a deal, but the factory is the cheapest source on this one......kinda the same as it was when I posted this weeks ago on CVN.

That price is for the front only. *$128.97 from North American Parts *free* shipping.

Both (front+rear) from WeatherTech are $209.90 + shipping.

I'd have to get my invoice, the fronts were $159 with shipping.

I never even considered the rear....

Has anyone tried the rear set on the MM yet? I'm sure it will need some minor trimming due to the console.

[88LTDCV351]

I ordered my front set from Amazon - Northern Accessories for 149.55 and it has shipped today.

If you cut the center portion higher up, can you then tuck the longer flap UNDER the center consul lower edge? It could be cool!

I am going to order today thank you.

[88LTDCV351]

I drilled a hole for the driver side retainer. Can even put the Redline floor mat on top while still using the retainer to retain both. I did kind of a messy drill job but I'm sure some of you can do better.

Gdmjoe,

That was inspired! I looked for Crown Vic mats at WeatherTech and wasn't sharp enough to consider Town Car stuff. Really wanted their American-made, first class mats. Bought elsewhere when I couldn't find them. Great idea on the Town Car mats, may go back and re-consider.

You wax your car every week?? How do you have time for that. I thought me doing it 4 times a year was a lot.

[Ambitious1]

Yes, it is something I learned from my dad. We carefully choose a car, find one that is special and keep it for 15 to 20 years or more and the car become a member of the family. So it is just something that becomes part of my weekly schedule.

[PonyGuy]

I would imagine that the Town Car front mats would be a drop-in for those of us with bench seat Grand Marquis/Crown Vics...

But the Lincoln rears would need a considerable amount of surgery to fit... the Town Car has about a 6 inch longer wheelbase, and it's all in the rear floor.

For what it's worth to Chicago guys, WeatherTech has a factory outlet store in Bolingbrook, Illinois (southwestern suburb of Chicago) right on Interstate 55; there's an exit (Route 53/Bolingbrook Rd.) adjacent to the store.

[Guittard22]

Looks good - like The deep pockets so it's easier just to take out and dump out rocks and debris .

[1Marauder]

Finally got around to ordering these for my now 21,000 mile CVSport.

Decided I was going to "update" my Sport to make it like brand new as my Christmas present to myself.

Going to:

New Weathertech floor matts
Have driver's seat base reskinned (not bad but light flint/grey leather shows age more than wear)
Have 2 Faux wood dash trim wrapped in quality faux carbon fiber (I think this alone will update interior look a ton!)
New dead peddle (I like Jerry's bar too!)

Then in Jan/Feb:
Front suspension lower 1 inch, w new shocks... (Not going too stiff)
Exhaust: mufflers and rolled tips

Excited about the carbon fiber and floor matts!

[1Marauder]

Opened my Weathertech Floor matts today, Christmas Eve... (Yes I wrapped them! Yes I opened them a day early��) and now have heavy books resting on the outside edges, gently re-shaping them so I can install tomorrow AM.

Merry Christmas to everyone!
