What are you all doing for winter mats

[zax123]

Hi all,

Winter is fast approaching and it looks like there are no official winter mats for the Kia Soul EV.

What are you guys doing for mats?

I bought some at the local car store, but they really don't fit well and I will likely return them.

Thanks for any advice,

Rob

See http://www.mykiasoulev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=295 in the modifications forum.

I got my Lloyds Rubbertite mats last week and they fit absolutely perfectly.

These have been recommended (?) elsewhere on these forums for the Soul EV: http://www.musclecarsandclassics.ca/lloyd-rubbertite-custom-fit-floor-mats

I haven't not yet purchased but plan to since there doesn't seem to be many viable options.

Zoiks! Those are expensive. Thanks for the suggestion guys, I'll watch for a special on Black Friday, who knows.

They are quite a bit cheaper at http://www.autoanything.com by the way.

Canada vs. US prices, we would also need to pay duty on things crossing the border.

Around a week ago the Kia site in The Netherlands has added several accessories they did not have before.

You can see them here (in Dutch): http://www.kia.com/nl/modellen/kia-soul/accessories/

If you choose "protection" you can see the mats they now offer. For the interior you can get these rubber mats which are 59 euro (about 64 US$).

Perhaps these are now available in the USA too?

Thanks @JeroenE!

I'll check with the local dealership (we're in Canada) to see if they've received them. From the pictures, it looks like they were taken in a regular Soul, but maybe they just didn't want to take new pictures.

Thanks again!

Yeah, I noticed that too. However, the mat for the cargo area is specifically for the Soul, so I assumed they would have specific Soul mats for the passenger compartment too.

I do not see anything new in the US store.

I want a hood deflector and sport visors for over the windows (but not those tall/thick visors, tho)

Well, here's hoping the North American dealerships get them in time for winter!!
