I have the all season mats and even though I am not using my car in the winter I wanted to know, does the floor mats cover the dead foot pedal. My dealer is saying that only the 4Matics cover that spot and are about 4 inches narrower due to the loss of floor space from the 4 Matic.

Do any of you have Merc floor mats (non 4Matic) that cover the dead foot pedal?

 

MBUSA part # is 6-6-68-8607 (for black). These all season mats provide protection for the dead pedal, fasten to floor tabs (same as carpeted mats), and are available in colors.

I’m not sure however if this is what you’re asking since you say you already have all season mats. If you’re questioning the standard mats, they do not cover the dead pedal – at least for 03, 04, and early 05 so far.

 

Are the all seasons "good enough" to trap the melted snow water so that it doesn't run off the rubber mat onto the real carpeting below while driving? When you take out the all seasons, is the floor below untouched?

 

I guess this question is directed at me since Alex stated the car will not be used during winter. They do have an edge lip and are designed as all weather. I personally have not had any problem of overrun onto the carpet below inclusive of the dead pedal area. But then again we’re talking the occasional trip north to enjoy the snow and the occasional rain we receive here in the Phoenix metro area.

I’m sure Steve (SAquirre) can answer your question. You can search the forum for interior pictures he posted a while back to take a look.

 

There is a modest lip, maybe 1/4 inch. It should be adequate for the most part, but I suppose if you track a lot of snow and/or are going up or down a hill, it may overflow. Of course, this advice is coming from someone living in the bay area where it hasn't snowed in the flatlands since about 1975

 

FWIW, the Euro Delivery carpeted mats do cover the dead pedal/footrest area, if you're luck enough to have a set. The standard USA carpeted mats (which are put in at the port of entry) do not cover the footrest, altho they're more elegant with a stitched-in MB logo.

 

I heard that USA mats do not have dead pedal part due to cost.

 

The 4 Matic system has nothing that protrudes into the driver's side. All the bumps and stuff are on the passenger’s side. (Continental cars LHD). Also, I track a lot of Mud from dirt roads and tons of snow. These mats catch everything. Also, the fact that they clip in place is wonderful.

My mats (winter and summer) have a cover for the dead foot pedal. I will see if I can find a picture.

Here it is: You can see the hump on the passenger’s side from the 4 Matic’s transfer case. Also, it is clear that the winter mats cover the dead foot pedal.

I can not repost the pictures, but here is the thread: Reason I bought a 4 Matic
