i called 8 dealerships and came up with the same answer.. Nissan stopped making them and they are no longer avalable...

 

YESS i found a set up in buffalo NY. it came to 66.00 shipped yo my door. after calling about 24 dealers i came ascoss a dealer in texas he did a "worldwide search" and found one close to my area.

 

"may take 2-3 months to ship out"

 

it will never ship out because they are discontinued. lol

 

If you please, which Buffalo dealership? I'm 70 miles down the road, so I may luck out.

Discontinued, huh? That sucks. I've got my local service manager trying to find a set right now.

 

Got the 411 on this and the problems. Apparently the supplier of these mats went out of business and they havent found a replacement supplier for these mats. There is no timeline when and IF they will carry these again.

The quest continues!

 

My dealer just came back at me with the identical info... the supplier went out of business, and there is zero ETA on a new supplier. Could be next week, or next year, or never.

Crap!

 

More on this...

The reason why the supplier shut down is that there was a huge backlash in the industry on floor mats. All because of what happened to Toyota last month with their recall and the deaths and all.

AutoPlace in Buffalo is recommending "WeatherTech" mats. They aren't a 100% perfect fit, like the OEM mats are, but he said they're a better quality.

Last, the Nissan Parts System number is 999E1MN001. For what it's worth, which is nothing.

 

The dealer i got the mats from was AutoPlace Nissan/Infiniti the # is 716-633-9900..I ordered the last set they had in stock yesterday. I called this dealer in Huston Texas they have 1 set avalable the number is 281-243-8600.. if you want the OEM ones i would be all over this before they are gone forever!!

 

I'll call them first thing in the AM. Thanks for the tip. I'll try, but as of this afternoon my local parts guy said there wasn't a set to be found anywhere anymore. We'll see tomorrow, I guess.

Yeah, AutoPlace. And yes, you got the last set they had in stock.

Small world, riceRocket.

 

no. problem. if you call up and they dont have it ask them if they can do a "worldwide search" i did and the parts manager from texas told me a few, thats how i foundthe set i ordered... he said there was a quite a few dealers within the US
that had these instock. so iwould try that as well.. let us know how you make out..

 

That's Sterling-McCall Nissan in Houston. And you were right, they had exactly one set of all-season mats remaining in stock.

They're shipping it to NY for me... $54 plus a whopping $18 shipping.

Couldn't have done this without you, RiceRocket. That was very decent of you. Thank you very much.

No problem, im just glad that you got a set. i felt bad when i told you i got the last set from autoplace nissan that was close to your town..

 

Funny when my dealer did a nationwide search they found nothing as of 2 days ago or they were just blowin smoke. Dam I missed it again.

So how far off are the 04 mats anyway from fitting?

 

Same here. My Rochester dealer (Vision Nissan) and the Buffalo dealer (AutoPlace Nissan) both did a "nationwide search" and came up empty.

But when I called the Houston dealer (Sterling-McCall Nissan) based on RiceRocket's very helpful tip, I picked up the last set.

Nissan's dealership inventory system might be regional, or not real-time, or some combination of both. Either that, or they're "blowin smoke", as you said.

Try calling some dealerships on the west coast.

Good luck.

 

I did. Oh well time for some autodialing and find some more.

 

Ohhhh sooo close. Found only the rear and they were in Philly the fronts were missing. Now if I can find 2 fronts im in business.

So any handle on how the 04's would fit?

 

That was close! Sorry, man.

No, the 6th Gen mats will not fit. Here's the Courtesy Parts links for the 6th gen and 5th gen mats... take a look; they're completely different shapes:

i got my mats in the mail today. very high quality. nice and think. they fit like a glove. im very happy with them.

 

I'll find out as well in a few days, but out of curiosity... do you like them better than your carpeted mats?

Earlier this year, I replaced the frost-carpeted mats with new ones, but this time in black. Well, not quite black, but whatever Nissan calls their carpeted "black". Anyway, I like the contrast, but the drivers mat still discolors and warps under your heels after a while.

So I was thinking, maybe their winter (all-season) rubber mats might actually look better, even though they're rubber.

What's your opinion on that, RiceRocket?

 

I have them in my Altima and love them. I finally found a set for maxima but shipping is crazy need to see if I really want them that badly

 

I paid $18 for shipping to NY from Texas. Personally, I think it's a lot of money for shipping on these mats, but I paid it anyway.

IMO, after putting all this effort into finding them, you should reward yourself with the actual purchase.

 

I just put them in my car this afternoon, and i already like the rubbers much better then the carpets. it makes the interior feel durable. (you dont have to worry about staining the carpet mats anymore) one thing i did notice is that i put the rubber mat over the carpet mat and when i step on the clutch and put it to the floor my foot feels wierd..( like my heel is high up) i took out the carpet mat and tried just the rubber and it feels fine.
I think the grey color will give it a nice contrast, and look great

 

They want $40 to ship Fed Ex thats whats killing me.

 

Yeah, I would use one or the other; without stacking them. Glad to hear how much you like the rubber mats. I'm really looking forward to them now.

Now I understand your dismay. Unless they ship next-day-air only, that's not right. I don't think I could bring myself to pay pirate fees like that. Damn.

Here's a link to WeatherTech rubber mats for the 5th Gen.

They're very expensive when bought directly, about as much as the OEM mats plus those highway-robbery shipping charges.

 

The rubber mats showed up today. They match the black trim quite nice. The fronts are a perfect fit; the rears not so much. I think the rears are generic. And they are all seriously heavy, probably 3x the others.

Love the 2-tone look. Glad I went through effort to get them. Now I've got something new to armor all!

 

Looking good. Dead pedal is looking better already!!

 

looks great rochester.. I really like the 2 tone. I hear ya on the armoroll.. i had to armorall the s**t out of my mats befor i put in my car, they had some sort of white powder all over them..
i will snap some pics of them in my car this weekend.

 

Yeah, Roy. The modified dead pedal from the 350Z... it's on my list.

Same here, about the 2-tone, and how dirty the mats were when I unboxed them. But they sure cleaned up nice. We'll see in a few months how they hold up to road salt dripping off my boots.

And did you notice how freaking heavy they were, too! I felt a little self-conscious, willfully adding all that weight to the car.

You know, it's kind of a shame all this info is here in a classified thread.

 

hahaha i hear ya those are really heavy. i think they should hold up nice up against the harsh New York winter

 

here are the mats installed on my car.. the front fits perfect, the back im not really happy with, but i have to live with it..

 

^^^
Front mats are a perfect fit, even better than the carpeted mats, don't you think? But I have to agree with you on the rears. I think they're one-size-fits-all.

I see you've got the 350Z dead-pedal going on, too, just like Roy. You guys are killing me.

 

Got mine today, previously enjoyed, from Ebayer. Need a little scrubbing but will be good as new and literally 1/3 the price if I ordered them from the dealer and shipped it. Oddly the listing was for an 1989-1993 Maxima but given the pics he provided and some detective work they were exactly the same mats as the 2000-2003. Weird.
