Chinto Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Does anyone know if the front row floor mats are dimensionally the same in the 2013 Ford Focus and the C Max. The reason I ask is I would like to put the Weathertech digitalfit floor mats in my C Max. Weathertech however does not make them for the C Max. They do however make them for the Focus. Looking at the pictures they look the same and since the C Max is based on the Focus platform I am hoping that the two floor mats are dimensionally the same.

CNCGeek Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 If you do find out please post back. I am also waiting for the weathertechs or something similar to become available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinto Posted October 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Fortunately I only live a few miles from the Weathertech factory store. Yesterday I decided to take the C Max for a drive and visit their store. I asked if I could test fit their Digital Fit mat. They were reluctant at first because they only sell these mats for specific cars because of the custom fitting and did not want to expose themselves to off label liability. Anyway, bottom line is the Digital Fit mat for the 2013 Ford Focus does NOT fit correctly in the C Max. The fastening snaps do not align. They said that they have been getting many inquires this past month for their mats and expect production for the Digital Fit mat in the near future. My name was place on a contact list in which they would email me when they become available. I would guess the more inquiries they receive the faster they will start production. So get on the contact list if you want the Weathertech Digital Fit mats in your C Max. I know I do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid dude Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 The Weathertech mats are now available. Why are they, as well as the OEM Ford accessory ones only available for the front and not the back seat floor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNCGeek Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 (edited) The Weathertech mats are now available. Why are they, as well as the OEM Ford accessory ones only available for the front and not the back seat floor? Because in a C-max, nothing messy ever happens in the back seat. Seriously though the weathertech digital fit floor liners are still not available. Since I have a dog, I need the liners. I suggest that if anyone is interested, they contact Weathertech and fill out their request form. Edited November 5, 2012 by CNCGeek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinto Posted January 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 I just learned that WeatherTech has added the DigitalFit style all weather floor-liners to their website. For those of us who have been waiting for these to become available, your wait is over. Check the link below for details. http://www.weathertech.com/ford/2013/c-max/floorliner-digitalfit/ FoutsNC and CNCGeek 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-MaxSea Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Excellent news for C-Maxers - looks like they have the front and back seat floors covered. Now how about the cargo area. I might prefer a cargo mat that would include the down folded back seats - one piece. I would modify a one piece to fold up with the seats somehow. Sure hope they get enough response to add one or two versions of the cargo area mat. littlebitfarm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinto Posted January 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Fortunately I live fairly close to the WeatherTech store so I went yesterday to buy the DigitalFit floor liners, I have had these floor mats for other cars and wanted them for my C Max. As I expected the new floor mats fit perfectly. The carpet is completely protected where it needs to be. The only issue I see with these is the driver side snaps are a little to strong. I needed at pry bar to unsnap them so going to the car wash will likely be a problem for easy removal. I am planning to call today to see if Weathertech has a solution. Other than that I am very please with the fit and finish and the protection. If I get some removal tips from the factory I will let you know.

zalusky Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Once you get them please post some pictures. The pictures they have on the weathertech web site are not from a CMAX and I would like to see exactly where the Digital Fit edges line up.

I contacted WeatherTech regarding the driver side fastening problem. CS is sending me replacement "grommets" that will hopefully make it easier to unsnap and remove the liner. I will let you know how that goes. While the photos below are not great it should convey how they fit in the C Max. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/99971988/2013%20600x300.jpg https://dl.dropbox.com/u/99971988/2013%20600x300%20floor%20mat.jpg obob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtorres Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 How's the access to the second row storage area with the second row mat installed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinto Posted January 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 How's the access to the second row storage area with the second row mat installed? I only have the front row DigitalFit mats. My backseat never gets used so I use the OEM mat on the 2nd row seats. The WeatherTech 2nd row mat is one long piece across the entire floor so I would think it could interfere with access somewhat. You would probably need to fold the one side over onto the other side to open the hatch depending on what you were retrieving or placing in the recess. Especially if you were using the air compressor kit. If your backseat gets a lot of traffic however a full width mat would protect the center hump area much better than the factory split mats.

One question. On the drivers side, does the left foot rest portion go high enough or does your foot extend over the top? Thanks for the pictures!

On the drivers side, does the left foot rest portion go high enough or does your foot extend over the top? Thanks for the pictures! The mat covering the left foot racing ramp measures 7 1/2" from the floor. So with my sz 9 shoe my toes extend above the mat when flat against the racing ramp.

C-MaxSea Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Thanks Chinto. I don't know why they would go only 7.5 inches. I think a few of us should let them know it would be better if they accounted for a little longer foot. Here's to size 12! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinto Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 This is an update on the replacement "grommet" WeatherTech sent to solve the difficult to unsnap the mat from the carpet problem that I have. It takes a pry bar to unsnap the mat from the carpet. Long and short it was the same exact grommet already in place so it did not help. Not wanting to fool around anymore with WeatherTech I decided to take the new grommet and ream it out a little to see if that would solve the problem. Good news, the snaps now work perfectly. I simply took my dremel tool with a cylinder type sanding stone and removed some of the bumps inside the grommet to loosen it up. It just took a little. You don't even need to take the snap apart to ream the inside of the grommet. Now it is easy to unsnap the mat from the carpet. So for those of you who find their DigitalFit mat from WeatherTech hard to unsnap simply ream the inside of the grommet just a little and that will solve the problem.

MikeB Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 I just got a set of WeatherTech All-Weather mats (not the DigitalFit liners), front and rear. I didn't have any problem with the grommets on my driver side mat. The mats fit well and look good. The left foot rest for the driver isn't completely covered to the top, but it does cover the area my foot usually rests on when in a comfortable seating position.

CNCGeek Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 If you have AAA, you may be able to get a discount on the weathertech mats. FoutsNC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fits2at Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 I just ordered mine. I only ordered the front ones. Hardly ever is there anyone in the back seat so the little universal ones I have will do fine back there. Thanks for posting the pictures!

yuhyma Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Thanks for letting me know the DigitalFit liners are available. I think I will order the DigitalFit for the back and All-Weather for the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have never known about that discount and I purchase stuff from them all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveofDurham Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 The AAA link in your message goes to a page for the MI AAA. Also, in the restrictions it says phone orders only, no discount on online orders. I am in NC and I can't tell if we get the same discount here. I can't find it on the AAA Carolinas discount listing. If I decide to order a set I will call Weathertech and see if I can get the discount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RachelnLa Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Talking floor mats in general at lunch the other day. Friend bout carpet runner, cut it to fit and then put Walmart mats on that. Thought that was crafty. Gotta have something to catch water (floor mats) or the plastic runner will send the water under the seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
