What Is a Full Coverage Car Mat & Boot Liner? | LMY Auto Australia
Confused about what "Full Coverage" really means? Learn the difference between standard mats, cargo mats and full coverage boot liners, and discover which option best suits your vehicle.
What Does "Full Coverage" Really Mean?
If you've been shopping for custom car mats or boot liners, you've probably seen the words "Full Coverage" everywhere.
But here's something we hear almost every day...
"I thought I ordered the full set."
In reality, many customers aren't sure what Full Coverage actually includes.
Let's break it down.
Full Coverage Floor Mats
Many people believe a floor mat is simply something that sits flat on the carpet.
That's true for universal mats.
A Full Coverage Floor Mat is completely different.
Instead of only covering the flat floor, it wraps around the factory carpet to protect areas that are most likely to get dirty.
Our Full Coverage Floor Mats include:
✅ Driver floor
✅ Front passenger floor
✅ Rear passenger floor
✅ Raised side walls
✅ Door-side protection
✅ Centre tunnel coverage
This means dirt, sand, water and mud stay on the mat—not on your original carpet.
What Is a Full Coverage Boot Liner?
This is where many customers become confused.
A Cargo Mat and a Full Coverage Boot Liner are not the same product.
Cargo Mat Only
A Cargo Mat covers only the floor of your boot.
It protects the bottom surface but leaves the side panels and seat backs exposed.
Perfect if you simply want basic cargo protection.
Full Coverage Boot Liner
A Full Coverage Boot Liner protects much more than just the floor.
Depending on your vehicle, it may include:
✅ Main boot floor mat
✅ Left side panel
✅ Right side panel
✅ Rear seat back protectors
✅ Third-row seat coverage (for 7-seat vehicles)
Everything works together to provide maximum protection throughout the cargo area.
This is especially popular with:
- Dog owners
- Families
- Camping enthusiasts
- Tradespeople
- Anyone carrying tools or sports equipment
Every Vehicle Is Different
One of the biggest advantages of custom manufacturing is flexibility.
Some customers never use the third-row seats.
Instead of making separate sections, we can create a one-piece cargo liner for easier cleaning and greater protection.
Others may request:
- Tailgate protection flaps
- Headrest coverage
- Additional side protection
- Child seat anchor access
- Pet-friendly designs
At LMY Auto, we'll always do our best to customise your order to suit your lifestyle.
Why Full Coverage Matters
Your vehicle's carpet is one of the hardest and most expensive areas to repair.
A Full Coverage design helps protect against:
✔ Mud
✔ Sand
✔ Water
✔ Pet hair
✔ Scratches
✔ Everyday wear
Cleaning becomes much easier because dirt stays on the removable mat instead of reaching your vehicle's carpet.
