Aftermarket options for cargo liner

Huge fan of the Canadian cargo mat. Worth the $$ in my opinion. I used Smartliners for the rest of the vehicle. Pleased with those too.
 
How do these attach to the seat backs (2nd & 3rd rows), velcro or headrest straps? Pretty secure? Thx

Could you or anyone else here help me understand why they are so much better than the carpeted cargo mat w/ seat back protection (Part# S9F12 AU102) which is sold for $130 by Kia in US? Much cheaper, easier to order and seems to do the same job.
 
Can I get a quote to have the black Canadian cargo mat shipped to 93065 please?

Good question - for me it's the surface material which is more protective and easier to clean than the carpet. Similar to carpet floor mats vs. something more durable such as weathertech, tuxmat, etc. etc. If you throw muddy cleats or a dog with muddy paws into the canadian liner, it should be easier to clean than the carpeted version. And I'm not sure how waterproof the carpeted one is, but the "plastic" one definitely is. (It's not a smooth plastic btw, but more of a textured, durable surface - but still easier to clean than carpet)

The option of the more durable and rigid Kia folding tray (or other 3rd party options) is always there, but you lose the easy functionality of the split folding 3rd row to put up/down as you see fit on the fly.

But you are correct - a $170 premium for the Canadian version is not insignificant, so worth considering if you're really benefit from the added level or protection/convenience. There are plenty of pics earlier in this thread which help to show the differences in the surface material.

Finally my personal opinion ... when I received the Canadian liner, I was thinking "For $300 I get this flimsy thing?" .... however after a few weeks of use I am actually quite impressed and glad I paid a bit extra for the protection.

Has anybody had any luck ordering the Canadian cargo liner recently? I can't figure out how to order it from their website, and didn't get a response to my e-mail last week. Does it fit all trims? Their website only gives the option of EX and SX when searching for accessories. I would be ordering it for an S trim.

No way no how would I have a carpeted cargo mat! We are way too messy. And with a dog, more carpet means more time spent cleaning.

Now like any OEM part, they are overpriced. And then you have shipping from Canada. But given what I paid for my Telluride, $300 is nothing. Consider people are paying thousands over MSRP just to get one.
 
@401dixiekia could you PM a quote to 32828, please? Thanks so much!
