Thoughts on all weather floor mats

C400.
Mercedes accessory mats
Lloyds mat
Weather tech

Any others I am missing?

Like the clear Lloyds, but wonder how effective
They are.

What do you have or thought about in this category?

I use the WeatherTech liners and they work great and don't look bad. I had them in my last car as well and they hold up very well also.

For winter and "mud season," I use the WeatherTech floor liners. They are very effective in catching and holding water, gravel, salt, dirt, mud, and just about anything your shoes can drag into the car. Right now they look horrible, but I'd rather have all that debris on the plastic than in the carpet. I went with grey just to break up all the black in the interior, but they are made in black and tan as well.

Only negative is that they can feel a bit slippery at times.

Appreciate your responses. I have had the WeatherTech mats in prior vehicles. They are really good, but wanted to see what other alternatives might be out there. My wife's car has the clear mats from Lloyds which are several years old. They are not bad but don't have the raised rims like the WT mats. I like the idea of grey in an all black car.
Stan I happened to review your trials and tribulations over the last few months and I truly hope your new wheels will have the manufacturer and supplier kinks worked out. I too believe this is one great ride and hope MBUSA and your dealer strive to address your issues. I had the Manchester folks service my E350 Bluetec before moving to Mass and the whole crew there from sales to service are top shelf!

Thank you. The new car should be here in a couple of weeks, but neither I nor my dealer have had any contact from MB-USA. If I can't get a fair deal out of this I'll just keep what I've got and live with it ... although it would likely end my relationship with MB with this one car.

The Manchester dealership is really exceptional, and they're the only reason I'm even considering trying another C300.

WeatherTech's own website says "Floor Mats All-Weather is not yet available for your Mercedes-Benz 2015 C-Class." Is there another model that fits reasonably well?

It does have FloorLiner. But are they good enough?

Thanks

I just looked at WeatherTech and found them...part 45676-1-2.

Personally, I bought Mercedes all weather mats (from dealer). Our weather here in Calif isn't too serious...non existent to be accurate. For front and back they were $97.00.

Previously I ordered a set from mercedespartssuperstore.com and they sent the wrong size...bet they don't even have the right size.

I have the black WeatherTech's in my C400, front ones only. They're very good, better than anything I've ever used in my other vehicles. They saved my carpets from all the snow and salt in Eastern Canada this Winter.

Do you have the part number? Is that the floor liner or mat?

Thanks

Do you have the MB part number? Where did you purchase it? MB's site does not tell how the back seat mat look like (whether it's one piece covering the middle or 2 separate pieces).

Thanks

I am going with Weathertech for the floor liner. The rear is a single piece which also covers the hump in the middle.

For the trunk, I can find 2 custom-fit option. Mercedes' own cargo area tray and Weathertech's cargo liner. I like raised side, which provides a bit more protection for liquid.

Does anyone have any comment on these 2? Or any other option?

Thanks

I decided to get the Mercedes as they seem heavy duty & fit quite well!
Hardly even see the black ones in a Sport Black interior.
A shame as it hides the AMG MATS. Maybe go to all weather in the fall.

Black is black, and every maker has black. But my C300 has the the Silk beige-Espresso brown interior. Only Mercedes makes mats that perfectly match that shade of beige. They fill the entire floor area exactly and seem to disappear. They also snap onto the Mercedes' floor mat snaps. (You don't install the Mercedes all-weather mats over the regular mats. You remove the regular mats and snap in the all-weather mats.)
Compared with the WeatherTech floor liners shown by StanNH, the Mercedes all-weather mats have much deeper water wells much closer together. See the photo. Note the snap and the MB logo. (I might say, yet another MB logo. There's an awful lot of them.)

The genuine stuff is great but family experience in Canada has convinced me that there is nothing wrong with Weather Tech. Good product.

I'm sure they are. It was the color matching that sold me. See the photo that I was in the process of adding when the alert for your reply popped up. I had meant to include it, but pushed the submit button instead of preview.

I went with WeatherTech because of the side wall. I have the black so color was not a concern for me. Hopefully it works out well.

Still undecided on the trunk area...

Not to pick apart your choice, but for the information of others, the MB mats have a deep side wall. The wall just doesn't show from the angle at which the photo I posted was taken. Then again, the mats hardly need a deep side wall because of the depth of the waffle structure.

These are floor mats we're talking about, not engine modifications. Floor mats protect the carpet, catch and hold dirt and water, and look awful after a winter's season of use. They are not a critical component, just something to help protect the carpets from filth. When they get dirty, you take them out and wash them, then put them back in.

Floor mats are simply not on my list of things to stress over.

My Weathertech floor liner just arrived. The cut fit the car nicely, side to side. However, the distance b/w the 2 anchors are off slightly, making it impossible to fasten both anchors.

Anyone who has Weathertech liner, how does it fit?

Thanks

Mine snap in fine, but require some work to get both sides lined up just right.
