Went with floor liners over weather techs. When I had my maxima the weather techs for like a glove. Looks like these fit but I'm not happy about the gap here.

I don’t remember seeing a gap that large in mine. I had those installed at port for free and they looked good to me so I won’t be swapping them out.

Can you heat that floor liner edge up with a hair dryer or something and train it to lay better where it gaps?

Mine fits perfectly. That rubber edge is bent. Return for a replacement

+1. The rubber is just bent and not fitting like it should. They do fit nicely when they are in their regular shape.

Mine were slightly deformed from packaging so I left them out in the sun (this was during the summertime) for about 24 hours and that helped get them to form back to their regular shapes.

You have a few options you can try:

1. Leave them outside for a day or so (if it's warm enough) to let them mold back to their normal shape.
2. If it's too cold outside, you can set them inside and put them maybe 10' from the fireplace.
3. You can try a hair dryer or heat gun to carefully warm up the problem areas to see if that works (not sure if that will work or not, but be careful not to stay in one spot if you try it)
4. If there are other areas that are also deformed and you don't want to bother with the above options, you can return them for a new set.

Returned them. Bought them mail order. Maybe the dealer has some to try. I wonder if the weather tech will have any that are better.
