Default Fed up with Weathertech. Ordered OE instead.

After 2.5 months of waiting, I decided to pull the plug on a complete rubber mat set.
I'll have to go with the dealer. It ends up being the same in cost.

I have the Q5 OEM All-weather mats and really love them. I think you'll be happier with these than the weathertech version.

What was the problem - out of stock? I bought the Audi mats at the dealership soon after I bought my Q5 in May, but I think the WT mats are way nicer - I mean batleship grey just doesn't look good with a tan/brown carpet....but if the WT's aren't available, well then it's WT's problem...and poor buisness.

I ordered a black WeatherTech mat for the cargo area. It arrived in about a week. Fits perfectly. Works great. Also, a nice value ($).
I put Cocoa Mats in all four foot-wells, black w/terra cotta dots to match the black interior with cinnamon seats. Retro but utilitarian.

I'd love to see a picture of those in your car, if you've taken one. I thought I was happy with the OEM all-weather mats, but those sound really interesting.

I just took a shot that the terracotta color (of the dot) would match the cinnamon seats. It's really close. (Excuse the dirty floor - it's been pouring in L.A.)

Those are pretty cool. Alas, in NE I have to have rubber mats. I got the OEM ones but find the lack of coverage in the back row a bit annoying. Come on. Anyone is snow boots is going to get crap all over the place.

Thanks for posting the pictures, @JFA. I think I'll get those instead of using OEM carpet mats this summer. I like the retro look.

I am sorry JFK, those mats are ugly and they look cheap.
