Hey let us know what you think of the weathertech bed mat.
I've been curious about this mat for a while.
Aside from some Amazon reviews, I want to hear a real review.
Thanks bud.

Sorry, meant that for PlatinumJim.

I put the weathertech mats in about 6 months ago now. When i first installed them they did sit high on the edges, especially the rear, this did not last long they soon sat correctly. Overall they look very clean and easy to sweep off dirt.
My only negative comment would be that the rear mat does ride back a bit and i once and while have to pull it forward, wish the underneath had some grips to keep it in place. Minor problem.
Overall very happy.

As for the bed mat, another solution is to call to your local commercial flooring supplier and ask for some 3/8" thick 6' wide rubber sport floor and cut it in. This will add a bit more weight for the rear if you need it.

Hey everyone,
So, first full day with the truck and a few items are revealing themselves (not unexpected with a used vehicle). While there is a lot of info in the forums for the automatic step and the turn signals in the mirrors (issues that need sorting), one thing that I found was that one of the lights that illuminate the licence plate is not working. Not only is there no bulb, but the bulb holder is corroded and one of the connectors is broken. The harness that the bulb holder plugs into is also corroded and one of the wires is not even connected anymore...
Has anyone had this type of issue as I have been unable to find anything, including part numbers for the harness part. It is not really a complex repair (fortunately) but without part numbers or another option, I may breakdown and take it to the local garage...
anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated, and pics are still coming, truck went from clean to filthy in 24 seconds courtesy of this melting Canadian weather...

if it only were so easy...the left socket and connector are corroded and as noted, a wire is pulled out of the harness, but I think I have managed to track down the parts from two different suppliers. That being said, the pull out from the back as opposed to trying to do it from underneath (upside down and sideways...) is the way to do it.

I can't speak for the rules in your state. If you bought it from a dealer, that would be their responsibility to fix it. It needs to pass inspection in Massachusetts, and license plate bulbs are part of the inspection.

Took the truck to the garage and they sorted out an issue with the parking brake cable (and cleaned up the rotors, both sides, from some minor rust) and replaced the damaged licence plate light, all for free of course. This garage is the one that the used car dealer uses for safety inspections, repairs, etc., and I can understand why. The owners (2 brothers and their mother) really care about the work they do, and it seems I have found the garage to take my beast to. They'll also be able to take care of my 530xi, as the owner happens to be using a 328i at the moment...
now all i need to do is work on fixing the ramp on the driver's side...

As you said, the WeatherTec mats did flatten out when warmed up. I live in Florida so it didn't take long..now, if they don't melt in August I'll be good! I received the WeatherTec bed mat also. I decided to go with it since I had the Retrax tunnel cover installed at the dealer. I had a standard bed liner in my previous F150 and wanted something a little more stylish. I'm very happy with the new bed liner so far, it looks sharp. I'm attaching photos.

Looks sharp! I almost bought a Ruby Platinum, but decided to go with the Sterling Gray instead.
