MacNeil Automotive products misrepresentations
I purchased MacNeil W71 and W20 front and back rubber mats. They were listed as the sizes for 2007 Yaris LB. They arrive and were marked as fitting "Camry". I called customer support and was told they were the proper fit "what we sell for the Yaris". THE FIT TOTALLY SUCKED!!! I called again and was told, "we tell you over and over they are not custom fit". Here's what the web site says after linking to a 2007 LB.......
"Classic™ Premium Rubber Mats The WeatherTech® Classic™ Premium Rubber Floor Mats are made out of natural heavy-duty rubber. These all-weather mats have deeply sculpted channels designed to trap water, road salt, mud and sand. Made of up to 16 lbs. of pliable natural rubber, these mats won't curl, crack or harden in sub-zero weather. Our Classic™ mats also have anti-skid ridges to prevent shifting in your vehicle and come with a protective, non-stick finish to make cleanup quick and easy. WeatherTech® Classic™ Premium Rubber Floor Mats meet FMVSS302, are TUV approved, and are manufactured to ISO 9001 standards, your assurance of quality. Choose from Black, Tan or Grey to complement virtually any interior color. Available for most cars, trucks, SUV's or minivans. Rear mats are designed to be trimmed so that they may be customized to fit almost any vehicle." Nothing about the front mats being over 4" over sized with NO provision to trim. They arrived marked for a "camry". FUK MACNEIL!!!! 100USD for mats that are NOT EVEN CLOSE!!!!! BUYER BEWARE!!!!!! |

I bought some front seat and back seat floor mats from Wal-Mart that fit very well. They also have the deep channels that collect water and dirt. Super easy to clean, fits well and best of all, the four mats cost less than $20.
I bought WeatherTech / MacNeil Automotive side window deflectors and they fit perfectly. Nice quality too. |

Wal-Mart is owned by Chinese? Anyway, the cardboard thing stuck to the mats said they were made in the USA. |

I think there's a new city in China called "The USA" so they can get away with saying that

UPDATE: MacNeil would NOT pay for return shipping. I filed a complaint with the BBB and suddenly they admit that the mats don't fit properly, although they still list them as fitting. I got a notice from the shipper that a return tag is on the way. To bad they didn't fit they were really nice!!! |

Last time I looked every person working in a US or Candian walmart was a US or Canadian citizen. Take away all the walmarts and you take away a LOT of Amaerican jobs.

So what if you support the Chinese or Japanese Economy? They also bring the money they earned and spend it in North American in tourism dollars...or their countries buy stuff from us too... |
