Almost purchased the black Weathertech rear liner with the 3rd row delete but my kids car seats are attached to an anchor in the rear floor. Does Husky or Nifty, etc make a cargo liner with provisions(cut outs) to access the tie downs?
 
I have black rubber mats that say "Land Cruiser" on them front middle and rear that are factory option mats. The rear cargo mat has small raised squares where the third row folds down to hook in the floor. I believe there is the same for the car seat. When I got my 100 the bird row had never even been folded down and I had to cut out the squares so the third row would lock into he floor.
 
Ya that's what I was thinking.

I can certainly cut it...just not very excited to do so when paying $130 for a new mat...now it will be a new mat that doesn't hold water:lol:

In my 80 series I had a husky mat designed with cut outs that were raised a little. (Husky does not have black for the 100 series).

I have the "Land Cruiser" mats as well for front and middle....just need a cargo tray. The only reason I'm not going for the Land Cruiser mat is I don't use my jump seats and would like that area covered as well.

I saw this picture in the "what have you done to your cruiser..." It is from AlabamaLX...looks to be a Husky mat
husky floor mat.webp

I just put a slit in my cargo mat with a knife to accommodate the car seat tether. Small precise cut doesn't look bad.
 
IIRC, Weathertech digital fit gives you the option Of with or without the third row.
 
I have the Weathertech for the cargo area/ third row. I personally think it was a waste of money. Dont get me wrong, Weathertech is an amazing product and I love the fit for the front and center. But having to make the cuts to accommodate the rear seat ( 4 kiddos) kinda defeats the purpose. ( mud/water/wet Stuff) Yes it certainly protects better than nothing there at all, but unlike Husky there are no raised lip to protect water/snow or liquids from working their way down under the matts. IMHO, If you did not have a need for the 3rd row, GO FOR IT and leave uncut. But if you need the seats in, your paying too much money for an inadequate product .

Specter Off-Road has the Huskies in black for the 100 series http://www.sor.com/sor/cat345b.tam

They have all the cut outs for the seats and child seat anchors.

You are correct, that once you do all the cutting for the seats and anchors, their usefulness for catching liquids is limited.

I am using car seats in the 2nd row only...the tether is the problem that attaches to the cargo area floor.

As a family we are often in both rain, and sometimes snow. So not too excited about cutting the mat.

Probably a dilemma I will stew over for a while. :meh:
