Positive aspects of the product (pros):	Awesome product!
Cons:	The only drawback of these Liners is they are not available in a few more colors, especially red, to match other Corvette interiors.

We Corvetters use our cars in a variety of ways. Some of us race them. Others like to show them. Some Corvettes are drivers. Others sit in garages gathering dust. My '95? Well, it's kind of a driver, sometimes, but the most miles it sees are on long trips. It's been coast-to-coast once. It's been on the Black Hills Classic,. Twice, it's been on the VetteNet Southwest Tour. It was the Lead Car for the Southern California/Southern Nevada Section of the 2003 National Corvette Caravan and we used it to prerun the route of the 2014 Caravan. It's been in innumerable day trips with the club I hang with. Basically…I drive it long distance.

Often, on these trips I take, I'm hauling something: a couple of overnight bags, my metal camera case, a plastic crate full of my "road service" kit (tools, service manual and a scan tester), my laptop computer case and other stuff I'll take on my adventures.

Then, there's the unusual, like the time I put my cat in his carrier and took him to the vet in the Vette. Or the time I'd loaned my daily driver to my girlfriend (now Wife) then had a flat tire in my "back-up "driver and had to take the tire out for repair in the back of the Vette. And, probably the most important job I've ever done with my Corvette–I've hauled eight cases of beer to a NASCAR "party". All this kind of stuff goes in the back of my '95 Coupe but I never worry about messing-up the carpet.

Think I'm nuts? Well...perhaps, but one of the first accessories I ever purchased for that '95–the day I bought the car, in fact–was a MacNeil WeatherTech Cargo Liner. It's specially sized and contoured for the back of a C4 Coupe. I have a black one that matches my car's black interior. I've had it in the car for almost 17 years and it's kept the carpet in the back of my car in near-pristine shape. After all those years, is really not that much worse for wear. We also have a WeatherTech Cargo Liner in our '04 which we installed soon after we bought it eight years ago. That one also has seen a lot of trips, including being the Lead Car for the SCSN Caravan in 2009.

Our new, 2012 Z06–what was one of the first accessories we acquired? A WeathertTech Cargo Liner for '05-'13 Vettes and we used it immediately as we picked up the car at Tom Henry Chevrolet in Pennsylvania then drove it, 3500 miles home to California via Virginia and the Corvette Museum in Kentucky.

MacNeil WeatherTech custom-made Cargo Liners provide absolute cargo area protection with a raised lip that contains spills and protects your floor from wear and tear. These custom-molded liners won't curl, crack, or harden, even in sub-zero weather. Cleanup is quick and easy. Just wipe up with a damp cloth, sponge or vacuum. WeatherTech Cargo Liners are tough and durable. They are guaranteed not to crack or break throughout the life of your Corvette. They are incredibly durable, too. Not only has the the one in my '95 been in service for 17 years, I have one in a Blazer which has been there for ten years and another in a Chevy HHR which has been there for five. Everyone of those Cargo Liners is tough stuff.

WeatherTech Cargo Liners meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 302. MacNeil makes Cargo Liners to fit C4 (PN 40076) C5 (PN 40112) and C6 (PN40342) and each is available in tan, black, or gray. Their only drawback is they are not available in a few more colors, especially red, to match other Corvette interiors.
