Carpet mats---revisited

I know there has been lots of threads on mat sources for all three rows, but was wondering over time has anyone found any new sources for carpet mats. I have read that many are dissapointed with mats from Quality Mats....happy with the Autosport mats, but dissapointed that they don't fit the carpet studs that keep them from moving.
I'm looking for all three rows with the third row having the "tail" under the
2nd row seat.

Purchased the OEM liners for all 3 rows - however, 3rd row does not have the "tail". I am very pleased with the OEM liners (I've read on this forum IIRC that the OEMs are made by Weathertech) - clean easy & hold tons of liquid. There is no movement in the 1st row mats (2 pc). There is some movement in 2nd row, but I think it can be corrected with velcro.

I have OEM liners for 1st and 2nd row, weathertech for 3rd row and trunk. I am very happy with this set up with exception of the 2nd row hump coverage. Just bought kitchen cabinet shelf liner roll (soft rubber like mategtial about 1/8in think) at Lowes that I plan to cut and velcro over hump -- will see how it works. Amazes me that weathertech does not have a solution for this given the 3rd row mats are a full coverage option.

Ditto, ditto, ditto everything you said, fmr. BTW, the OEM and Weathertech liners are manufactured by the same company from what I've heard. For those interested, contact Jerry at formymercedes.com for the best price(s).

yes, weathertech manufactures the OEM liners for first and second row. Main reason I went with OEM is the yahve the MB logo vs weathertech and cost was only $5 more for the 1st and 2nd row mats. There are no OEM liners Isimilar ot weathertech) for 3rd row and rear.

fmr,

There is an OEM liner for the 3rd row. I bought it from MB of Anaheim.

However, I regret buying the 3rd row OEM liner since it does not have the tail @ the point of entry similar to the 3rd row mat or all season.

thanks. I had not found it when I was in the market, so purchased the weathertech. The dealer included the oem rubber all season mats which have the "tail" so what I did was just install the liner over the rubber mats, gives you the additional coverage with the benefits of the liner.
