Fed up with Weathertech. Ordered OE instead.

I liked the fit so much and how they stick to the carpet surface without sliding around, that I left them in place and put the OEM mats on top of them. This protects the car's rear carpets better than with OEM mats alone.
The Weathertech mats are pretty thin so overall height does not change much at all. The OEM mats have nice deep tread, so they work great for catching water/snow/grime and afford good shoe traction for passengers.

WT covers the bottom of the deadpedal, but since Q5 has its own plastic piece cover, WT "works" OK

BTW, rec'd my weathertech mats today. They fit like a glove as per the norm except that the factory forgot to include the button snap for each side of the mats. For some reason the front mats only had one snap. An oversight as there is a hole for it. I sent an email tonight to WT asking for the 2 missing snaps to be sent so will wait to see what comes back.

I got my front/rear weathertech's about 2 months ago. took only 2 weeks and the front mats did have the 2 attachment snaps.
FWIW, I definitely like the weathertechs for the winter - salt, water, and all. good thing it pools the water and doesn't allow it to get to the carpeting (though I'm sure the OEM winter mats appear to do the same).
For other seasons, I use the heavy duty OEM cloth mats. Nice trim and Q5 emblem to boot.
