New Exmoor Trim "Defeater" mat kit

[schleven]

Has anyone seen, in person, the new "Defeater" mat set from Exmoor? If so, wondering how it compares to the older/Wright Off-road version:

DEFEATER BARRIER MAT R380 - BLACK

<p>This practical three-piece R380 Defeater Barrier Mat is moulded in a hard wearing black polyurethane with an easy to clean textured surface suitable for everyday use...</p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AxjY1tBmv8"><img src="{{media url="wysiwyg/Defeater.jpg"}}" alt=""...

I just noticed that on their site the other day and notified purchasing to order a set in. Looks interesting

Close to the very excellent Wright matting, new extrusion molds were needed and they refined the style a bit at the same time.

The seat box covers seem to be improved over the Wright set I have.

It's cheaper than the current Wright set that Exmoor sells, I wonder why...

Also now made of polyurethane which should make it very durable. However, based on that I'd guess the noise dampening qualities are less effective. Too bad they don't have an LT77 set, but with the massive cost of injection molds it's understandable.

Likely because Exmoor just buys them from Wright who has them manufactured, vs this unit they're working with a manufacturer directly

Ah, I thought they were making this w/ Wright as well. Got it.

On a related note, I've been considering one of these Hardura sets for a while.

Seems like it would offer that classic Defender feel at a reasonable price.

Hmmm, I wonder if that transmission opening is anywhere close to what I'd need for the LT95 ???

Now will someone please make a second-row product? I want molded rubber for all my interior floors. Jeez.

Lucari offers Hardura full front/rear kits, but I haven't seen any molded options.

The LT95 and R380 tunnels are sufficiently diff for the LT95 to not fit the R380 Wright/Exmoor mat, however, an R380 tunnel fits over an LT95 with the R380 seat box and bulkhead flanges...ask me how I know.

Various parts of my interior keep getting removed/falling off. Door panels, the original floor mats (water trapping rust creators), the little piece on the firewall, the footwell uppers, the hardura on the seat box (I miss this piece although they get nasty when they get old and smell when wet).

I was hoping to get cocomats like I have in everything else, but I am not sure they would fit over the tunnel.

Haven’t heard Cocomats for a long time. Used them in the 70’s.

I like the wright mat I have but no matter how much seal replacing I do, I cannot for the life of me stop water from collecting under the mat in the footwells. I actually made a cut so I can pull them out occasionally and let the footwells dry out. Super annoying but still worth having the mat in.

Any idea why the Defeater mat won't work with a V8?

I was actually thinking about cutting mine aswell. I've been proping up the mat to try n get air in there. Not happy about it

Thanks! Appreciate the info. They are a unique look / product. Same with Sisal.

Has anyone had their hands on these? How do they compare to the Wright offroad version?
