Cargo Liners - Recommendations?

I'm not sure if I should make this thread in General or here, so if a mod wants to move it, feel free!

I am likely picking up my new car this evening, and I have decided that I want to buy a quality, durable cargo liner. I put the dogs in crates some, but I also lay the back row of seats down and let them flop in the back on shorter trips, too. I've always just used an old blanket or comforter in the past, but they slip and slide all over the place. I want something that is waterproof and can be secured to the back of the seats (when flat) and the carpet in the cargo section.

Any brand recommendations or experience (good and bad) you guys have had with various liners would be appreciated! Thanks. :)

I drive a Lexus CT 200 and bought the cargo liner Lexus makes specifically for this car and I love it. It fits like a glove, covers the cargo area along with the back of the rear seats and its waterproof. It also has a piece that flips over the bumper to protect it as the dogs jump in and out. That's my absolute favorite thing. Ill try to get a pic so you can see mine.

My recommendation would be to see if they make one specifically for your car and absolutely look for one with the part that flips over the bumper!

I'm getting a Jeep vehicle, and there are LOADS of aftermarket parts and accessories, but most of them are made of rubber or plastics of some kind. There's a company called weathertech (I think) that makes some liners that fit like a glove, but they are all kind of tray-like which wouldn't work well with the seats down flat.

I have found these which look promising and claim to be waterproof, but I can't find ANYONE who has them to give me a first hand experience. They look so thin, I worry about tears, and things of that nature.

That actually looks similar to mine. Mine is very thin but surprisingly durable! Mine was about $175 so not sure the price of those but if they're cheap enough you could always try it out!

Here's mine....
Bumper flap out.... (Ignore the dirt in the trunk I just brought home mulch the other day) :)

This shows you the material it's like a rubber on the bottom to keep it waterproof and fabric on the other side but waterproof and easily cleaned

Here you can see how it covers the rear seats snugly and has room to allow seats to go up and down without readjusting (ahhh I need to vacuum!! Thankfully it cleans up easily!)

And can't forget my dobe sticker!

They do look surprisingly similar! Yours is exactly what I'm looking for, and the Canvasback company seems to make roughly the same product minus the bumper flap. I guess I'll just read up on their return policy and likely give them a try. Thanks for the photos and feedback! :D

I bought the weather tech liner for the back of the Sienna that the crates sit on. And I did like the "tray effect" as I didn't want anything to spill on the carpet. I did have to wait to get one, as when I bought the Sienna last year, they didn't have them yet. The liner does not go quite up to the second set of seats, but I got the mats for them too, so the whole carpet area is pretty much protected. The one complaint that I have is mats for the second seat area require that the seat be moved forward so that the area behind the seats is covered. I will have to move that part of the mat to slide the seat back. Total cost for everything was over $300. But the carpet stays new. When I trade in, I will put the orignial floor mats back in it as I will keep the weather tech ones.
