Does anyone have pics of these fitted? I have the Toyota carpet ones in the cabin and they still move around a bit, I have the genuine cargo mat in the boot and am happy with it so far.

Prado 150 - 3D Mats

Hi Warnsie and Fidd666
I have purchased these for my car and they have paid for themselves in the first week of owning them. On returning home from the shop I found one of the 2L milk containers I had bought had a loose lid. 3D mat caught the lot, gently removed the mat, hosed it down, left it in the sun for 5mins and then back into the car. No problems and no skanky, off milk smell which would have been permeating through out the car every hot day since.
Berniebgf has posted some pics of these in conversation #10 of this forum. Also the pics on the ebay seller 'AutoAll' linked in #1 has some pretty good pics which look exactly like mine and are true to the fit and look. All three rows fit well and hold secure. They are held in place by an all over 'Velcro' style backing, the drivers side has holes for the secure hooks but my mats were not supplied with these, not that I have felt they (the hooks) are needed. My only fear is how the Velcro backing will last? Found mat hooks on Ebay for only a couple of dollars if I need them in the future. I have no reason at this stage for suspecting they wont hold/last but only time will tell. Only had the mats and Prado a little over a month.
I also purchased the rear cargo mat. Again great fit and well secured with the 'velcro' style backing. This has a 'hinge' in the middle for when the 3rd row seats were raised. Only problem the hinge is in the wrong spot and it actually needs 2 hinges to create a 'gusset' type fold. Hope this makes sense? I made contact with Autoall (Ebay supplier) they were very happy to help me out, they replied to myself quickly addressing my needs, said they were chasing down a 150 series to double check. They got back to me the next day. They understood my issues and were happy to offer a full refund as the product didn't match the description and informed me they had already modified the advertisement/description. I ended up keeping the cargo mat but have modified it so I can still use the 3rd row seats individually(kids still enjoying the novalty of an extra row of seats) by cutting it down the center..... Yeah I know this defeats the purpose a little but wanted to protect the cargo area while still maintaining use of the 3rd row seats and i got sick of removing the 3D mat as it didn't fold up to well for storage. However couldn't find anything else that would suit or do a better job
Hope this helps? Sorry for rambling. Would I buy again? Floor mats definitely. Cargo mat? Probably. Buy off 'AutoAll' Ebay seller definitely their service was second to none. P.S. As a newbie I think I'm meant to write something in regards to not receiving or having any financial gain/interest in AutoAll. If you still want some pics sing out and I'll try my skills at 'adding pics' to a post when I get home.

Hi Warnsie,
The Cargo area Mat is good, it has a crease in the middle to allow for the rear seats to fold up.
Fit is good (but not as good as front and second row) works well and easy to clean.
The only thing I would say is that because they are thin, if you put anything in the back that is "pointed" (and heavy) facing down it will not totally protect the Prado Floor from being "dinted". (Hope that makes sense). It will for most items though.
Example: We have a phil and ted three wheeler, once it is folded there is a sharp point at the top of the front wheel mount. This dig's into the Mat and marks through to the Prado Floor. (Note: 3D mat holds shape OK (no dints) once item is removed)
Not sure the SANDGRABBER would do any better as I do not believe they are thick either??? (confirm anyone?)

Hi All,
Has anyone happened to fit these to a manual? The mats fit well, I think they are great but the drivers mat restricts the clutch pedal from being pressed.....
Any ideas without cutting the mat or removing the footrest?
Kevin
Edit: Sorry guys, seller got back to me. It looks like these mats are automatic only. They have offered a full refund and free return postage so a massive thumbs up to them. Sandgrabbas it is then
Its a shame as they seem like they are good quality....

Thanks scud, I have also ordered the cargo mat, I spoke it autoall( great guys) and they told me that there is a hinge but won't be a perfect fold, I read ur post and most likely do the same mods. As my kids r still young, won't be utilising the third row that much, except when my folks come to visit. Update to come.

Hi everyone,
Just be aware with the 3D mats (which are great) that there is a slightly different driver's side mat for the MY2014 Prados. They were very helpful for us and sent out the correct mat, but it is worth saving the hassle up-front.
I agree with the other comments, definitely a good investment and superior to the factory items.
