Do you keep your carpeted mats in or all weather year round?
As I go to swap my carpeted floor mats in and my OEM all weather mats out, it made me wonder if other owners go through the seasonal swap. Are there any owners without mats at all? What's your approach?

I changed back to carpet as soon as the snow stopped falling. All-weather mats function as intended, but carpet is so much nicer and fitting for a Benz.

carpet, I live in the south of France so the weather is pretty good all year round.
I did have to get them as an option, because my lease company orders their cars without
them to save some bucks...
the dealer however was kind enough to give them for free.

Prefer the carpet matts for summer but impractical in northwest Illinois to keep year round so I switch to the all weather matts

carpet year round in Florida. I do keep a small rubber mat on the driver's side to help from getting heel wear marks on the carpet mat.

all weather year around for sure!! The OEM all weather mats are pretty sweet and always get compliments about them. One of these days I'm going to drop a cup of coffee and guess what ...my mats will contain every single and last drop!

Live in South Carolina and have never used all-weather mats - not even in my trucks. Don't go to the beach either - grew up there so I had all I needed then.
OEM are amazingly durable and easily cleaned.

In the MB (black interior) I use the rubber mats in rainy/snowy weather and carpet mats the rest of the time.
In my A4 (Tan interior) I use the rubber mats year round to keep the Tan mats from getting dirty looking.
The BMW is my sons car and I don't think he has figured out he isn't driving a Jeep any more and that stuff doesn't just blow out. Grass, paper, food boxes, water bottles, wires for ??, clothes, all sorts of stuff in that mess.

When I went from a 2008 Bluetec to the 350, the carpet mats were still new since they rode in trunk from the time I drove off the dealer lot in 2008 until I left it at same dealer after picking up the 350 in 2014

Hopefully no bodies in that mess.
