TL;DR Vehicle-specific TPE cargo liner for the 2012·2016 Honda CR-V · community-confirmed gap-free fit on 2013·2016 model years; the raised outer lip contains real-world spills (plant water, sandy gear) without reaching factory carpet, and TPE construction shows no cracking across reviews spanning 2016·2025.
WeatherTech model 40524 is a precision-molded Thermoplastic Elastomer cargo liner for the 2012·2016 Honda CR-V, covering the cargo floor behind the 2nd row. Four independent owners across 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016 model years confirm gap-free placement; manufacturer lists all trim levels as compatible. The raised outer lip contains moderate wet cargo · owners confirm leaked plant water and sandy cargo stayed on the liner with no carpet contact. No lip height is stated by the manufacturer. The textured surface prevents cargo shifting; well-reviewed owner feedback shows no cracking or warping across a review window from 2016 through 2025. Made in the USA. Available in Black, Grey, and Tan.
The right pick for 2013·2016 Honda CR-V owners (all trim levels) who need confirmed vehicle-specific cargo protection for pets, groceries, outdoor gear, or wet-weather use. The 2012 CR-V is manufacturer-listed but lacks independent community confirmation in the reviewed sample; confirm fitment via WeatherTech's vehicle selector before purchasing. Skip this if your vehicle is the 2017 or later CR-V · that is a new generation requiring a different part number, and ordering the 40524 for a 2017+ CR-V is the primary source of negative fit reviews. Also skip if deep high-wall liquid containment is a priority · the exact lip height is not published and community evidence indicates standard raised-edge, not reservoir-depth, containment.
No chemical exposure pathway · molded TPE passive accessory with no SDS. TPE is a confirmed synthetic compound with no natural rubber (latex) content and no PFAS or fluoropolymer surface treatment. The California Proposition 65 warning on this listing is standard for molded thermoplastic products (related to trace carbon black in the compound) and does not reflect a consumer-use hazard during normal vehicle use. TPE construction supports a multi-year service life · reviews span nearly a decade with no cracking or warping reports. TPE is not accepted in municipal recycling programs and no WeatherTech take-back program is available · specialty plastics recyclers may accept it at end of life.
The model 40524 is vehicle-specific for the 2012·2016 Honda CR-V (all trim levels) in the cargo area behind the 2nd row. Community reviews confirm gap-free fit on 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016 CR-V model years. The 2017 CR-V is a new generation and requires a different WeatherTech part number · use WeatherTech's online fit guide to confirm the correct part for your year.
Vehicle-specific. WeatherTech model 40524 is precision-molded for the 2012·2016 Honda CR-V cargo floor · it is not a trim-to-fit universal mat. Multiple owners confirm it fits the cargo area without gaps or trimming required. It covers the cargo floor behind the rear seats; for full vehicle protection, WeatherTech also makes floor liners for the first and second row.
The raised outer lip contains real-world spills · owners report leaked plant water, sandy beach towels, soil, and muddy cargo all contained without reaching the factory carpet. No manufacturer-stated lip height is listed for this model. The liner does not appear to include a deep high-wall design · it is suited for moderate wet-cargo use and pet transport, but buyers expecting deep-volume liquid containment should check the lip height once the liner is in hand.
No. The model 40524 is confirmed Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) · a synthetic polymer compound. It contains no natural rubber and no latex. The product carries a California Proposition 65 warning, which is standard for molded TPE and rubber-type products (typically related to trace carbon black in the compound) and is not specific to natural rubber latex or any consumer-use hazard during normal installation and driving.
Yes · multiple owners confirm the TPE surface wipes clean with standard cleaning, including after a hanging-plant leak.
The Amazon listing for WeatherTech Cargo Trunk Liner for Honda CR-V (Behind 2nd Row) carries a California Prop 65 warning. California requires this warning on a very wide range of manufactured goods — including rubber, vinyl, plastic, and metal automotive parts — whenever trace exposure to any of roughly 900 listed substances (commonly phthalates or heavy metals) is possible, regardless of whether the specific product poses a meaningful health risk. As a passive accessory, WeatherTech Cargo Trunk Liner for Honda CR-V (Behind 2nd Row) has no Safety Data Sheet, so there's no chemistry breakdown to translate beyond that.
