I received mine a couple of weeks ago and am very pleased with it. I too wish that MacNeil (Weathertech's manufacturer) had made these right from the start as they did for the third row. What they originally did makes no sense. A few of us, including myself, contacted the manufacturer about this, so maybe a little consumer pressure worked for a change.

Agreed. I love the front, 3rd row and cargo liners but the 2nd row were really poorly designed. I was planning on buying liners for my civic but plan to call in the order to explain that I have to buy a 2nd row liner for the gl450 a 2nd time. I'll report back with what they say.

I have the tan in the rear cargo area and will take pics tomorrow so you can see the difference. It's not close to a perfect match, but it looks very nice.
We went with black for the floor mats, because we track so much dirt/mud/snow into the truck that the black actually hides the grime better.

The tan doesn't match the Mac on the seats, rather it is about the color of the leather on the dashboard.
As stumblefoot did, I would have opted for the black ones instead as the tan ones get pretty nasty throughout the winter.

Weathertech explained to me that MB directed them to make the 2 piece 2nd row set and advised me to go back to where I got mine (the dealer) to see what they can do. I'm ordering the new 1 piece 2nd row seat and will pass on a set of weathertech liners for my civic until my kids beat up on it more.

They can also be ordered from MacNeil.com who is actually the manufacturer for Weathertech.

I got my Weathertech liners in today. I'll be honest. I'm very disappointed in the quality. I expected much more for the money. The material is very thin, cheap, and flimsy. Not to mention, the front mats do not have the "buttons" to secure them to the floor. I'm thinking of sending them back.

I agree that the cargo liner is pretty flimsy, but it has done a great job protecting the carpet for us and our cargo area gets a work out weekly.

They are actually pretty sophisticated - the thickness is a function of technology - when you unroll them, and leave them flat, they self-adjust to the exact MB shape because they use memory plastic. I just replaced the 2-piece with the over-the hump, and am very pleased. We also have the Weather-Tech cargo area covers and find them indispensable - I carry a lot of heavy and dirty stuff back there, but so far don't have a mark.
