Does this have raised edges at all? I'm debating between this and weather tech. Anyone have experience with spilled liquid? Does this mat hold it in

Yes, there are edges although not as deep as Weather Tech would provide. We didn't see it as a problem in the cargo area. Biggest spill we might get would be from a leaky cooler andif water overflowed, not a crisis. If you've something else you would be hauling that would have a more lasting impact if overflow occurred, might want to invest in the WTs.

Yes, raised edges and grooves. This mat us flexible rubber. I returned the Weathertech mat because it is a stiff vinyl/plastic and doesn't mold to the cars curves, also very slippery! No problem with spilled liquid, just hose it off.

No. The auto floor guard containment mat has a ridge around it. This is just a ribbed mat that lays flat. Does a good job, but sometimes water runs off the edged.

Can't get an accurate measurement because the edges are beveled. I've had it for 4 months and it is holding up very well on medium thick carpet. Probably best mat I've owned except for hardwood custom job.

Your assumption is correct. There is no obstruction of the mat to access the gas door handle. My personal complaint with the mats, (see my Amazon review- Is WeatherTech Cheaping Out?) are that they do not wrap up on the door sill, leaving a narrow strip of carpet that is exposed. This isn't the case with the mats on either my 2010 or 2012 Toyota Tacoma.

As others have said, the answer is definitely "no"as the mat is plastic - not silicone. It does roll up, as others have stated, but I strongly prefer to store it flat. It makes it easier to use the next time as it has a memory when rolled. I started storing it behind a solid, case good piece of furniture: ie console or sideboard. That worked fine until someone suggested I put it on the dining room table under the pads and table cloth. If you happen to leave those in place, it is definitely the best option for me for this item. Storing flat also makes it so I have absolutely no problem with slipping. As it is large, I do have to tuck it under a few things on the counter just to fit it in place. That may be why I've never had any slipping issues. As I told another person who asked a question, I actually purchased this because it was so inexpensive compared to the $30 range for the silicone mats. It also has all the nice markings/measurements. I didn't intend to like it so even before I bought it, I had given myself the permission to just consider the price a loss and buy the silicone WHEN I disliked this mat. Then I got a big shock. I LOVE this mat!! I have a small, silicone mat that I've had for years so I do have some idea of the differences. Though I wouldn't use a sharpened knife on this mat, it if definitely much sturdier than silicone and therefore you can your a much larger number of gadgets without the fear of damaging the mat - especially since it is so much cheaper than the silicone. The absolute only pro I can come up with for the silicone is that it can be folded or balled up and wrapped with a rubber band to save space. This mat has a much longer list of pros for me anyway. I know that is much more than you asked, but I can't help running off at the mouth about this mat as I was so very shocked that I really love it. I can't imagine needing to purchase another mat, but if I did, I would definitely, without question get this mat again! Hope that helps.

It has rubber feet but they are not in a good location. Instead of being at the very farthest corners/edges of the mat, they are drilled into the center of the slat (about a cm from the edge). Because of this, it is common to step on the edge of the mat and cause it to topple onto its side. Easy solution: don't step on the edge of the mat. Consequent problem: You need to be mega-careful about where you set your foot down. After owning this for three years I've concluded it's easier to just use a towel mat and wash it.

It is elevated by rubber feet. I actually took the feet off (they are threaded on with screws) Where I wanted to place the mat, I didn't like it being raised on feet. I don't think it will dry underneath as well without the rubber feet, but I was willing to try it and see what happens.

I have it in a "moveable shed" that is 12' X 28' and the rubber mat is awful heavy. I drive a car on it and put 12"x 24" plywood boards under where the wheel stop. I have slid the plywood back by wheel traction. The mat has never moved. The mat is flat at the edges. I bought plastic trim to edge it and that keeps the water inside the mat.

I would discribe it as a hard rubber feeling. It holds the shape it's shipped in for a while (rolled up), I got mine in the summer and an afternoon in the sun flattened it right out. It also has a nonskid feeling too. So things don't slide well on it, a good thing for me. The raised letters and circles can be dented, so it does act like plastic in that regard. I had a plastic milk crate filled with stuff in back that dented the raised spot where the tie downs are. Overall I like the mat very much.

Yes, pretty well. I had it up in some moderate rain for a few days in November and didn't get much inside. Maybe around the corners a little but overall held up well. The side panels only come down to about two inches from the ground so you do get wind, water at bottom. I had a indoor/outdoor carpet on the floor and it did get wet on the edges.

It's about a 1/2 in thick. The edges are contoured. I have mine on a tile floor. The mat moves a little but stays mostly in place. I love the thickness.

since my garage is heated it usually evaporates w/o any trouble... I have a large floor squeegee that I have used if I think there is too much water on the mat, but honestly don't think I would have needed to-- it contains and holds a lot of water..

yes. we live in midwest, just had another 7 inches of snow and this mat has been a lifesaver so far. all melting snow has been contained and we just use the wet/dry vac to clean it up if it gets too full. if it is just a little water it will evaporate.

Our garage floor is pretty much leveled so the water stays in the mat. We just have to sweep it out of the garage. If your tires are hot and the mat is wet, avoid spinning your tires because it will scorch the mat. Also, if you turn your tires when driving on the mat it will curl up.

The sides are a stretchy fabric that is different from the top of the matress protector. The top has a layer of waterproof material underneath the terrycloth. I doubt that the sides are completely waterproof, but liquid might roll off, as it is finely woven and slick. I haven't spilled anything on it, so I am not 100 percent sure of this.

We've had ours for about 4 months now, and it's perfect. The truck isn't garaged, so it sits out in the weather and so far is holding up well. Looks good, is easy to roll up when something is a bit too tall and it seems to be weather/rain proof, protecting whatever is in the bed. Hopefully, yours was just an anomaly.

The Weather tech are more like a form fitting tray. They have sides so the water or dirt does not spill over the sides on to your carpet. They fit really well and are not intrusive to your foot room.
