Review on KIWI MASTER Compatible Accessories J501SSJ030 by Non Dollarz

Compared to OEM

I already had the Original Equipment All Weather Floor Mats for my 2020 Forester so I compared them side by side. Slightly worn floor mat with Subaru logo - OEM. The tires are very similar and it's hard to pick a winner. They are very similar but the OEM has a rougher finish and the Kiwi has a smoother finish. OEMs have about twice as many grommets on the underside to attach to the carpet. Form is where OEM really excels. OEMs have more depth while Kiwis are shallower. The OEM corners also fit the car better. The bottom flat edges of the Kiwi mats don't quite match, so the edges lift up a bit to fit the car, leaving a small gap in places. (See photo.) I also noticed that the driver's mat was not fully compressed. A light hot air treatment can be used for a better fit. The driver mat holes fit well, not as tight as the OEM but work well to keep the mat from slipping. When comparing to existing floor mats, please note that the rear floor mats are swapped from left to right in the product image. I use Kiwi mats well, but the superior OEM fit and more grip points on the bottom make them a winner in this comparison, despite the Kiwi's slightly better price.

Pros
  • ▶ NON-SLIP DESIGN AND EASY TO CLEAN - Works with factory hooks and clips, the non-slip tabs on the back of the mats grip the carpet and help hold the mats in place without the need for additional clips. If it's dirty, simply remove the flooring from your Forester and hose it down.
Cons
  • Crumpled
