Default Jeep Slush Mats

I bought my Jeep Slush Mats from the dealer about a month after I got my jeep. That means they've been in service for 8 months.

At this point I have had to move the driver side mat to the passenger side, because it was worn through and now they are both worn through. I do not drive with metal cleats on by the way. The rubber is completely disintegrating. The rubber is sloughing off layer by layer and any knobby bits are just crumbling away.
The back seat mat is no better and shows signs of cracking and crumbling.
Anyone else get a bad set of mats?

Took them by the dealer with my reciept and was told this was a "wear" item. Duh!
I've never had a mat wear like these "heavy duty slush mats" have.
It's a real bummer, since they looked so cool.

Agree, they look great but not very durable or functional. I currently have THREE sets of mats, carpet for summer, Rugged Ridge for winter and the Mopar's for in between.

Got my Jeep slush mats on 07 and took them out and put them in my 11. No wear anywhere.

My Jeep Slush Mats, installed June '10, have failed in exactly the same way.

Got mine in May 2008 and they still look great. I haven't been easy on them either. Sorry yours turned out to be a POS.

My Jeep slush mats are still in great shape and I take them out about once a week to hose them down for cleaning.

Wow I have had mine for just over a year and they look new. I have about 22,000 miles in that year too. Maybe some batches came out better than others

Default mats

If I tried to hose them off, I'm afraid they'd dissolve.

Since dealer won't warranty, you think that Mopar will?

Fat chance right?

Wow...that sucks. I got the Tread Lightly mats. They are just like the Quadratec ones. They're great! Love 'em.

Had slush mats in my manual jeep, they wore out quick, maybe a year. Had an automatic for 3 years and no wear at all. I would wonder if it's all that clutching.
