Default Car Mats for Captain Chairs

Wanted to see if anyone has had any luck finding car mats / floor liners for a 130 with Captain Chairs? If so, would love a recommendation as I feel I've exhausted my search.

TuxMats - I really wanted these but they only offer for the 8 seater. I submitted a model request so lets see if they actually make one and if so, how long it takes

Weather Tech - I didn't see anything made to fit - it was mostly cut it to fit yourself. (is it me or has the company lost its way bit? I see everything else beside their core custom fit mats)

Smartliner - only offered bench seat option

Car Mats Customs - only one that had an option that indicated it would accommodate for captain chairs but couldn't find anyone who tried these. Seems like it's drop shipping where the company is based in Denmark but the product ships from China. Was curious if anyone tried this company?

Amazon - saw a bunch of random companies offering custom mats but I think they are all using the same manufactured as Car Mats Customs (since the pictures are all the same)

So that leaves me to ask here - my fellow 130 captain chair owners, any luck/suggestions/recomendations?

Thanks!

Since the captain's chairs are new for the 25MY, which has only been at dealers for a month or two, companies haven't had time to develop mats for the 130s with captain's chairs. I'd expect to see a number of companies to offer mats within the next six months or so. The OEM rubber floor mats are not bad at all, and will b e your only choice for the time being.

Ha, I never checked OEM. I’ll do that and like you said, may have to go that route till other aftermarket companies get their products out

It has been six months and there are no OEM mats. Anyone have any ideas?

I still haven’t found any company that does the full car, all three rows. I got driver and passenger seat only for now (weather tech has that) and using the OEM carpets for the second and third row. The carpet isn’t that tough and even with minimal use it’s getting pretty worn out.

i emailed Tux Mat to ask them on an ETA and got some odd response in that they said that this model was not released in Canada so they can’t measure it to have it made. I think it is released in Canada…

For the cargo liner, I could not find anyone either. I had reached out Canvasback and provided them measurements on the captain chairs to get the back liner made. They got that done for me.

i keep checking though from to time and still nothing

One thought if no one has these off the shelf yet - ring up Jon Hickman at Inhabit designs in Portland OR and see if they could prototype and make these. See my post here -> https://landroverforums.com/forum/20...s-l663-125392/

After having them a month or so, I really do love mine. I have no skin in this game other than a super satisfied customer btw. They’re expensive but it’s a 6 figure vehicle so does it really matter. Visually - really jazz up the place.

They would need a 130 with cap’s chairs to prototype .. maybe they could do it at the dealership in Portland. IDK.

in case anyone still looking around for car mats for their 130 with captain chairs, Tux Mat finally got some in stock. I ordered them last week and got them delivered today. They fit well and look good. only minor comment is that center 'console' path in between the paths - not sure they designed it that way. instead of a single large piece, they cut it in half. not a big deal at all, I'll Velcro it together so when kids are going back and forth no one trips on it. attached some pics for folks
