I'm too weary from fixing inferior designs. All that effort should not be necessary on our part. There should not be a size problem, nor a bow problem, for that money.
I like those floor mats. Especially digging how the rear mats cover the middle section of the floor. I already have the all weather floor mats, but if they ever crapped out on me, I'd get these.
Just placed my order for 2 fronts and will use my old pant savers, with a couple of mods for the rear! Thanks guys for the link - they also have a canadian site

That's true. It's not like these are Wal Mart specials. They should Fit better but for me I really need something that will catch the debris.
My little bit of tweaking did some good and after driving today I only had a minor gap. (sorry for the poor pic quality).
I really wanted this edge tight so I got some velcro strips but they were too thick. Finally decided to just stick that edge to the plastic with some left over 3M molding adhesive tape I had. (sticky stuff).
Problem solved and I don't have to worry about any gappage here if the mat moves around. Would be nice if they just fit like this but I'm happy with the result.
Other than the gap on the drivers side these are some really cool mats! I like 'em.

Glad that worked out for you, but how will that sticky tape hold up over the long winter? My guess, not well. And for me, these would only be for winter. In summer, I'd have my other mats in there, which means the sticky tape has to come off, probably leaving residue.
I think these mats look great and are an excellent idea. But how good is it, or customer service, if they can't or won't fit it perfectly to a Fit?! Either they perminently fix the problems and make new ones that fit right, or it's not worth the considerable dollars, imo. To each their own. I hope yours work great for you, really.
They still have front to back "slide" in them, so the taping idea would seem to be a questionable fix.
I like mine and can live with the gap, but for $100, WeatherTech could have done a little better job.

I recently added the Weathertechs to my Fit (front and back). Only complaint was that they are a bit slick at first and you just need to be careful getting in otherwise your foot slips. After a few weeks, it is amazing to see the crap it catches (which would otherwise have been ground into the carpet).
After seeing this thread I decided to get these mats, got front and back and they're awesome. A day after I got them a bottle of windshield fluid opened itself on the backseat floor but the weathertech's trapped it all. I was worried about the gap people have posted about on the driver's side but mine don't have it (or at least not yet). Its sweet seeing all the little pebbles leaves and junk it traps. Best mats I've owned.
I'm on my second set, and both have had the bow problem on the driver's side. I'm thinking about going the adhesive tape route too even though I shouldn't have to.
