Non-Slip Pads Review and Install Notes

[jf7fsu]

I ordered the complete set of pads for $63 from Wilson who was quite personable. As promised, I was not charged shipping being a forum member. I checked Ebay and he was selling the same set of pads for the same price, just added shipping.

I payed with paypal and the transaction went smoothly. He wrote me to acknowledge my order and notified me of the shipping date which was the next business day. Customer service was important to Pads plus.

The package arrived Priority mail within 2 days and was professionally packed. I received three sealed packets. The pads were packed well and individually labeled for each piece. There were a lot of pieces and without the labels it would be impossible to figure out. He also provided some double sided tape squares for harder to place pieces. The tape was difficult to remove the second side, after a while it became easier. I would have preferred a bit thicker square, but they were adequate and got the job done. Overall an "A" for packaging and appearence.

Each piece was cut exactly to the size it should be. There were no rough edges or unfinished sides. Each piece went in exactly where it should have. I think the most useful areas are the center console insert tray with the two compartments and the bottom of the main center console. I thought the drink holders were very useful except 2 of them have a protruding circle inside the holder and the foam pad rested on the center disk not really laying flat, they did hold firm though. I also did not see a use for the top dashboard tray, since it was already carpeted.

The hidden rear compartment was the real gem of the lot. I keep an umbrella, a flashlight and a California duster in mine and they were always rattling around and now don't. The glove box seemed to add a bit of cushion needed to keep stuff from rattling around and one wonders why Saturn did not provide this as OEM. The two small areas in front of the shifter handle needed this product as they can now be used for storage without rattles and sliding around. All the other pieces that fit around the cup holders in the doors, the second seat console (for bench) and third row cup holders worked well.

The entire install took about 1.5 hours. The main time issue was the double backed tape which was difficult to apply. Overall I like them and would recommend them.

I just picked up my mail from the Thanksgiving Holiday and my Outlook pads were part of the bundle. Unfortunately, my Outlook is at the body shop due to an Audi A4 that sideswiped the right rear bumper cover.

The pads came packed and the individual pieces labeled. Easy to understand instructions and extra attachment items if needed. The pieces look as if they were laser cut. They were just what I was looking for.

Thumbs up from me.

What is it about Audi A4's? I was rear ended on Saturday at a KFC drive through window! Luckily it is only $300.00, but still! He hit my towing hitch so it and the cover have to be replaced. The appraiser said he twisted my hitch some.

I purchased a set of the center console pads for my Outlook. They fit great, look great and function great...as if they were dealer-installed. I would recommend them to all Outlook owners ! http://stores.ebaycom/PadsPlus?refid=store
