- If you get a lot of mud or snow in your car, look for all-weather floor mats made with thermal materials and deep channels that help to melt snow and channel water away from your carpet. It will help keep your floor dry.
- If you haul supplies and equipment in your vehicle regularly, it can cause all kinds of damage. Look for a heavy-duty mat that is made of materials that resist chemicals and is thick enough to cushion heavy items.

Are floor mats and floor liners the same?- Mitsubishi Eclipse floor mats are made from rubber and rubber-like materials designed to conform to the shape of your car. Theyre usually flat with extra gripping ability to make getting in and out without slipping easy. They have channels and ridges to catch liquids. Since theyre made of thin, flexible material they have a limited lifespan.
- Floor liners are completely different. Theyre made from more rigid plastic or thermoplastic materials. Liners are often custom fitted for your Eclipse.
