Husky WeatherBeater fits fine. I have a 23223 (tan) that I ordered directly from them online.

WeatherTech Digital for the middle row, and Nifty Catch-It Carpet (by Lund Industries) on the front floors (both from AutoPartsWarehouse.com)

Hi,

I just got a 2011 Escape LTD. It has a 8" sub in the cargo area. Will the WeatherTech and or Husky WeatherBeater fit? As I've read, I cannot find a "2011 Husky" anywhere, but I'm assuming the 2010 fits.

You have a 2011 LTD and the 2010 fits? I was going to order direct as well. Thanks!
 
Installed the Weathertech floor liners a couple of months ago and find they fit and work great. The only problem is the hook hole on the drivers side. Water gets in through this hole and the hook makes pulling the mat out to drain difficult. Has anyone found any problems with cutting off the hook and filling in the hole? I know the Ford legal department will advise against this, but I've never had a problem with migrating floor mats before.

Currently, WeatherTech has their Digital Fit liner for the cargo area, but not for Front and Rear seats on the 2011 models.

They are working on them. They've completed the design, and they're getting their tooling/production setup for the changes. The estimated time frame I got from WeatherTech is about 6 weeks. It's not a firm date, but they will be here before too long.

2010 mats work fine in the 2011. In fact, the passenger side is fine as it is. With the 2011, I just put a piece of duct tape underneath the hole to keep out moisture from seeping through. Even if the mat could slip (difficult), the mold would prevent it from materially obstructing gas/brake pedal operation. But that's my view, and I'm the only one who drives that car. If anyone else does, those mats come out. (Suck on that, legal counsel.)

If I recall correctly, he just said the hook that secures the mat is in a different location and that's the change they're accounting for.
 
I have had the same problem with the hole in the mat, but I dont hook it hole and when I get a chance I will seal the hole so there wont be any leakage when the mat is full with water and muck.

Yep, concurring with that. What I meant to convey is that the hook issue is easy to work around.
 
Why do you need to remove the hook? Why not just squeeze a little bit of RTV in there around the hook to seal off the hole? That way, you don't have any drip through, and your mats don't move.

Honestly, I don't see why it would drip through - it appears that the height of the rubber around this hole is the same height at the outside edges of the mat.
 
If I put sealant around the hook, then I can't remove the mat to dump out the salt, slush, water, etc. If I just seal the hole, the hook might push the sealant up through if weight is applied. I'm going to set the mat on top of the hook until the weather improves. I'll see what happens in the meantime. But pushed down on the hook, water does sometimes get in. Try doing a lot of errands in a snowstorm and then drive up a hill.
 
In reference to removing the salt crust and stains from the carpeting,
I mix up a bucket of warm water and white vinegar and the solution
eats the salt and gets them clean. Don't bother with a can of salt
remover.... Waste of $$$.

Cheers! :yes:
 
Do the 2011 digital floor mats have the updated 2 button type fasten down mechanism(if that makes sense)? The picture on their website has the 2010 fitting. See link for what I mean.

Re-thinking my post, the picture is not a true representation of the particular make and year of the vehicle. I'm sure it fits like a glove. I want a set. $209 in Canada. "A bit steep dont ya think(the way George Coztanza asked Newman about running to Paisano's every day for The Boss)?"
 
I have the Weathertech mats in the front of my Pacificia and they are great. When I get my Escape, I plan to have a set for it by winter. If you go to the Weathertech site, search for mats for an 2011 Escape, It asks if your current mats have 2 posts, so I take it they are aware of the changes and have adapted them..

Yes they do have the two button fastener. However, the rear cargo mat does not fit the 2011 escape very well at all. I am sending my rear cargo mat back to them. Hopefully, they redesign it so I can have a matching set.

I just turned my current 2011 oem rear cargo cover over. It's rubber and seems to do the trick.
That's what I plan to do when I have the dog in back..
 
I installed Weather-Tech mats in my 2012 front are perfect fit , cargo liner is a no go the fitment is awful,returned to Weather-Tech.
