Cargo area mat

Cargo area mat
I'm considering buying a FEH. Concerned about the flimsy carpet in the cargo area. Have two active big dogs. Anyone having problems with the mat? It appears to come loose very easily. Any good replacements that would be compatible with dogs? Don't really want a mat with large lip border as that would be difficult for dogs. thanks.

Re: Cargo area mat
I got one from autoanything.com.
SKU: 1943426
Description: Husky Liners Cargo Liner 2006 Ford Escape Fits the Hybrid. It has a lip, but the material is fairly pliable. Should not be a problem for dogs.
I think it was about $69

And of course you could always check out http://www.weathertech.com/
I have floormats from them and they are wonderful. I will be getting the cargo mat for the Prius and I'm certain of its quality and fit.

I just ordered my Husky cargo mat from www.anythingauto.com for $69. No shipping charge, but they did charge taxes.

Re: Cargo area mat
I first bought the cargo area mat upon taking ownership of our '06 FEH. Arrived quickly and with instructions (it arrives rolled; lies flat quickly if you follow the instructions, and stays flat). Love it!
Loved it so much I went and bought front and rear Husky mats and I couldn't be more pleased. Perfect fit and great look and protection. Had 4 adults and all their gear on a roadtrip to Dallas and the Husky mats had dirt, leaves and tree pollen all over them when we got home. I was *so* glad that cleanup was a simple case of wiping down the mats and/or taking them out and shaking them off, rather than already having to spot treat the factory carpeting.
One note: If you have the NAV radio (in the '06 at least) you'll want to cut a small notch out of the mat lip for the front passenger's mat, because as shipped it slightly blocks the release of the 6-disc CD changer magazine. Easy to do and no biggie, though.
HIGHLY recommend buying from AutoAnything. Have had zero issues with them and they ship quickly (free!) and reward you with a $10 coupon good on a future purchase after 1-2 weeks of you having an item bought from them, if you supply a simple product rating and/or review.

I was also surprised to see that there is a large hybrid symbol in the middle of the rear side of the carpet mat. I wonder if Ford was expecting us owners to flip the mat over, when we needed an easier-to-clean surface?
