Winter Floor Mats for your Car

Video Transcript

"NATHAN MCCULLOUGH: Hi. My name is Nathan McCullough, on behalf of Expert Village. In these clips, we're going to talk about some of the tips and tricks in order to properly winterize your vehicle. In this clip, we're going to talk about the difference between your factory floor mats and heavy duty winter floor mats. What I have here is a set of heavy duty winter floor mats. As you can see, they have a grip surface here and an actual trough that runs around the outside of the floor mat. Your factory floor mats are not going to come so equipped. They'll just be a small piece of carpet with a rubber backing on it. What these will do for you is it would give you a gripping surface so you can step in and out of the vehicle without slipping and it will also hold any of the snow that melts off your shoes or boots in a specific spot. These floor mats are, like I said, are not factory. However, it's strongly recommended to use them if you're in one of those heavily snow-laden States. It's not necessary for me to get into the part of installing them. The smaller ones, of course, go in the back passenger areas and the larger ones will go up in the driver's area. If you look at the back of 'em, they have all this grid pattern on them. What this grid pattern will do is grip into the carpet, or the interior, of your vehicle and hold still. It will give you a safe place to get in and out of, and it'll hold 'em in place throughout your driving experiences. These are the proper kind of floor mats you're going to want to use in a heavily snow-laden area."
