OEM All Weather Premium Cargo Mat with 60/40 Seatback Protection

I still like the look but I am not sure that I like it $400+ worth so I will hold off until they become more widely available (I hope) and can see them first hand and/or they are more reasonably priced. Yes, I do realize they are Canada only but maybe KIA will see the light, modify slightly to meet US standards and ship to US dealers or someone else will come up with a similar alternative at a better price point. For the time being I am happy with my $20 alternative from the 'A' on line retailer
 
Finally got mine, and in the Telly.

Probably unpopular opinion, but I'm kind of underwhelmed. Nothing really felt or seemed premium about it (it's pretty thin), especially for the cost. Also doesn't sit completely flat when the seat backs are down, and i kind of wished it had velcro on the top side to hold the straps (i can/will easily add, but it's the fact that i have to add). Then I use the cargo space a lot, and maybe just me, but i feel like this would wear out easily. I guess time will tell.

I appreciate any and all feedback. The cost of the only-in-Canada 60/40 seemed way too much for me so I passed on it.

I ended up getting the OEM Carpeted Cargo Mat with seat back protection. It's rubberized underneath the pretty low-maintenance carpeting so if protecting the underlying fabric of the Telly is your concern, it'll do that.

I'm also ordering the ToughPro cargo mat (they offer free shipping) to put on top of the OEM cargo mat since the 3rd row is staying down for the time being. It'll offer maximum protection when the Telly is loaded up with various equipment and gear.

I probably paid less for both of those items than trying to order the Canada-only 60/40 and having it shipped to me at great expense. Plus I can remove the ToughPro and roll it up for easy storage when I have no need for that level of protection.

If you're happy with the Canada 60/40, awesome. Just putting it out there that other options can serve you well and can definitely save you some $$ :)
 
Thanks for posting. I am looking forward to hearing back from Ted once the next shipment gets sorted out.
Hey, I’m in Aurora and I’m on Ted’s list. I wonder if it’s cheaper for him to send ours together?

Hey Ted, Happy New Year! Any update on the 25 you ordered? I’m on your list :)
Yes, sadly that order was shot down. I did reach out to my contact a couple weeks ago to no avail. I'll be sending him another message the week of January 11.
Happy New Year to you as well!
 
Hello Telluride members. I just found this now and am also interested if we can pull it off. It's ridiculous they don't sell that in the US. 55376 if we can still get in on it.
 
Lmk I wanna jump on this if it gets opened up since my order won’t be in till later anyway. Zip 96789 😜

Without going thru 15 pages of this thread, have any of you looked at the Canvas Back covers? I LOVE mine and got the bumper skirt to protect the bumper. Heavy duty, water proof and custom made with multiple color/fabric choices. The third row covers are two separate pieces that Velcro to the seat back so you don't have to worry about the 60/40 split. Loaded up my Telly in November for a fishing trip. When I got home, just shop-vacced them and wiped them down with a damp cloth. No stains or residual smelly fish evidence at all! Made in Minnesota, arrived in 2 weeks. They even sent me fabric swatches before I ordered to see which color I liked best and could feel the quality of the fabric.

canvasback.com. Look them up.
 
I’ve been giving them serious thought; thanks for the review that certainly helps. Did you get the backs for the second row?

Yes. I got 2nd and 3rd row covers, the 24 inch bumper cover and the hard plastic cover that fills the gap between Captain's chairs. All are awesome, fit perfectly, and the cut outs for the straps and grip to open the cargo floor cover are perfectly placed. I've posted pictures on here somewhere, but will send you some if you want.
 
Pics would be great if you have them handy

I love that the 3rd row seat cover straps velcro in place. I'm not super OCD about wrinkles, but you can get the covers really tight in place and they lay flat. I have more if you want to see some close ups and other angles, PM me your email and I'll send a bunch more.

Did you order the flap separate? Yeah I would probably want them a little tighter just wasn’t sure how well they adhered to the carpet

They adhere to carpet by velcro backing, so you just lay them down flat into position and press the velcro into the back of the seat. Mine are usually straighter and tighter but I've been transporting a lot of stuff lately and didn't bother to straighten them back up for the pictures. If you order from Canvas Back you can order the cargo liner and the seat backs separate. The bumper skirt is an add-on purchase, but they prefer you to order it at the time of order so they can get all the velcro in the proper position lined up with the cargo cover. If you have the three-row bench seat that is just one solid piece. For the captain's chairs it's two pieces and I chose to order the middle piece to cover the gap. That piece has hard plastic inside so that a small to medium sized dog could stand over the gap and it would hold their weight. (Their claim, not mine).
 
I have the captains chair in the second row but don’t need a barrier. The flap seems handy; I’ll have to make a decision if I order. Are those the gray ones or black. I’m thinking gray as it seems you have a light color interior. I have the black interior so was going to order black

believe it or not that is the black fabric choice. That is why I asked them to mail me sample swatches before I ordered. I have the black interior (with Nappa Dune leader) as well and to me the headliner is more of a dark charcoal/dark slate black than a really black black color. The Canvas Back black fabric is just like the headliner, it's a dark charcoal or dark slate black, but not black black, if that makes sense. But they match well together.
 
Yeah I was thinking they were black like a crayon black. Glad I asked although their black is the only color I would order anyway

yes, once I saw the plaid and printed fabrics in person I did not care for any of them.
 
Yeah me either and I was seeing them on their website. Good info; I think I’m going to order a set. I wanted an 60/40 split with material like WeatherTech but there isn’t anything available. I was a bit concerned about the canvasback if they are puncture or tear resistant.
