Mr.mathman96 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 I just received my new 2017 Ford Fusion SE hybrid on May 24th and want to purchase weathertech floor mats. Unfortunately they still aren't available yet. Would the 2016 mats fit perfectly into the 2017? Not sure if ford modified the foot wells between the 2016 and 2017 models. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eGuru Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 You should check out the Maxpider mats. I compared them to Weathertech and they look a lot nicer. Also made in Canada. I bought a set for my Fusion. https://www.partsengine.ca/u-guard-3d-kagu-maxpider-floor-mat-in-black-p-54811.aspx 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timwil56 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 I don't know where I read it, but I recall the dead pedal design is slightly different on the 17's. Take your car to the dealer and take a look. If everyone is going to chime in on recommendations, take a look at Husky Weather Beaters, they provide better coverage behind the pedals an up the dead pedal area. Also, they aren't as stiff as the Weather Techs and and can be easily bent to contain water from melted snow in the mat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downhour Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 I bought WeatherTech for my 16' and was disappointed at the coverage in the front. The rear and trunk are great but WeatherTech didn't do as good of a job with the Fusion front mats as they have for other vehicles. I would recommend looking elsewhere for yours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subcooled81 Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Try husky liners, I have a full set in my 2010, well worth the 150 on Amazon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizzly9737 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Just got the MaxSpider carpet versions for front and back. I'm very pleased. I had the Weathertechs in my last Fusion, and didn't care for the hard plastic, almost sticky texture. They were tan, and never got back to the original color after getting dirty. These MaxSpiders, though, are beautiful. As far as I know, only ford OEM mats actually have the locking grommets for the floor retainer tabs, but the MaxSpider at least has grommets to fit over the tabs, keeping it level on the floor. They don't slide around, but that's probably more due to the backing than the grommets. Obviously, I can't speak to durability just yet. I've only had them a week. They are pretty lightweight, so I'm a little concerned with durability. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eGuru Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 I'm glad that you like the Maxpider mats. I have had mine in for 8 months and they look good as new. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timwil56 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 (edited) I just checked the Weather Tech site and floor mats are now available for the 2017 Fusion. Direct from their web site, Weather Tech wants $179.90 plus shipping for a full set and $109.95 plus shipping for a set of fronts only. I found a much better deal at http://www.autoanything.com/floor-mats/husky-liners-weatherbeater-floor-liners where the Husky WeatherBeaters are $125.96 for a full set and free shipping, plus, no tax in Minnesota. I like Husky liners because they're more flexible and easier to get in and out, especially when there's melted snow in them.

MightBeASynth Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 IMO look for something other than weathertech, I have them and I really wish I got something else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timwil56 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I agree. The WeatherTech liners are too stiff and I think they are over priced. Husky liners provide much better coverage up the dead pedal, up the fire wall and on the sides. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eGuru Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 The Maxpider mats also provide very good sidewall height and I find them esthetically more pleasing than either the Husky or WeatherTech 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRF Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 As stated the 2017 floor liners are now available. Speaking from experience the 2016 liners will not fit in the front row. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.mathman96 Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 Thanks for the input. After reading everyone's input, I think I am going to pass on the weathertech mats and get something better. I tried the maxpider for a 2016 Fusion and they didn't fit the front but I really loved the coverage. I would like floor liners that have excellent coverage underneath the pedals and covers the deadman pedal too. I wish the manufacturers would come out with 2017 liners quicker. I'll just have to keep waiting. Hopefully they arrive before the winter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 One thing the Husky's are known for is excellent coverage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timwil56 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Do not purchase the Husky WeatherBeater Liners for the 2017, they don't fit. I don't know if it's a bad design, or they're trying to sell the 2013-2016 liners for the 2017, but there isn't enough depth from the dead pedal to the firewall, so there's a space under the mat at the transition from the floor pan to the firewall. I tried twice to get them to fit and no luck. I'm going to call AutoAnything tomorrow for an explanation and to arrange to return them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.mathman96 Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 Buying the husky liners from AutoAnything is a bad idea. They are selling the 2016 liners as the 2017. I looked at the two part numbers. It matches the 2016. The actual Husky Liner website is selling the actual 2017 liners. New part number. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timwil56 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Once they realized they had sent the wrong part, AutoAnything was very apologetic. If you purchase 2017 Fusion Husky floor liners make, sure it's part number 98791. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timwil56 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 (edited) I got my 2017 Weather Tech (oops, meant Weather Beater) Husky mats today and they fit beautifully and provide great coverage. I'm not wishing for sloppy weather, but I'm prepared. Edited September 24, 2016 by timwil56 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superspike Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 My dealer gave me a set of WeatherTech mats for the front: therefor I love them. Can't beat the price. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those of us that aren't so lucky and need to spend our hard earned dollars, I would go for the Maxpiders as they look like they cost twice the price and are very functional. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PW01 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I just put a set of Maxpiders in my 2015, they're great! The fit perfectly (front and back) and are a lot more attractive than the rubber/plastic all weather mats. I've had a similar product, Catch-All, in my truck for years and these are nicer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tcumm Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Bump.....Anyone have the Maxpider's in a 2017? if so, pics please.

Can anyone provide any in-site or a link? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
