I just noticed that as well. I'd make a call to wheathertech first. But it should be easy enough to do yourself.

If you purchased the car new the sticker would list either way about the mats. Our "new to us" 2014 came with the factory sticker and has the mats listed.....(and we have all the mats).

Yeah, the truck mat isn't listed. I didn't have the preferred accessory package.

However, it did come with carpeted floor mats.

I just got an OEM trunk mat for $80 from the Lexus dealership. I never knew you could haggle with the parts guy, but I was just half-joking/whining if he could offer me a discount since it didn't come with my brand new car, and bam, discount without any hesitation, lol. I really was joking and kind of shocked he offered it at more than 20% off without any resistance.

I should have asked for more.

The factory carpet one does have the tie-down openings as someone else mentioned. It's not as thick as I imagined it to be, but it's better than having the factory trunk carpet exposed.

You think it's possible to cut those squares out yourself?
I won't cut out the liner holes. I'm all about the water tight pan. We bought a brand new explorer years ago and went to Costco on the way home with it. The liquid fabric softener leaked out all over our back area. Now I cringe putting any liquid anything in a trunk or anywhere in my vehicles. I haul groceries, cleaning supplies, gas cans, Home Depot stuff etc.

Not to "hi-jack" your thread, but the nets that come in the trunk we have not yet figured out. The one that goes across the back is easy enough but the other ones that use the hooks (under the mat that requires the cut outs to access) do not seem to make much sense.

Anyone with an explanation or pictures about those would be helpful....

I also have the weathertech. But having a spill proof mat would be more valuable to me than the straps.
So I would not cut holes in it. But would be easy to do.
Don't think I have used straps in any of my car in the past 20 years

Yeah, that middle one is weird. I installed it and it just cuts the trunk in half so I took it down. I can put it back up and take detailed pictures if you want.

It might be useful to prevent stuff from rolling towards the front of the car and not having to reach way back there. Or visa-versa in regards to keeping stuff away from the rear of the car if you place it on the front side of the net.

My Weathertech trunk liner and front trays came today. Such a perfect fitting impressive product. I have a net. Never gonna happen, I spent 3 min. trying to figure out what to do with it . The Weathertech bookends look interesting.

Now that you describe how the second net is applied, that is where we went wrong in thinking it fit similar to the one in our 430 which can be installed flat on the trunk floor..... Thanks. Likely we will not even try and use it.....
