Floormats, Cargo Liners, Backseat Liners etc.

Does anyone have any experience / testimonials / recomendations in regard to Cargo Liners, Floormats, Backseat Liners for this new model?

Although this will be my $80K Luxury Ute it will also be the family truckster for many many years loaded with goods from Home Depot, Loads of Beach gear, the 110lb Swiss Mountain Dog and of course the 2.5 year old and 6 month old....

I'm more inclined to good fit and protection vs. high style.

Thanks for all your input!

My upcoming 2013 GL 450 will have Weather Tech floor liners for the front and second row........ the third row will get a set as soon as they produce one. I have had weather tech for each of the GL's I have had since 07 and they fit perfectly are rugged and very effective. Not cheap, however!

WeatherTech in first and second rows (Lasercut custom fit) and the Lloyd's custom fit behind the second row seat. It will be very rare for me to use the third row seats.

They work just fine, keeping the snow, mud, and water out of the carpet. If I remember correctly it was about $139 for the WeathTech and another $89 for Lloyds. Hope that helps. I had another posting on here with more information a while back.

I bought the weathertech liners for 1st and 2nd row. I have a canvasback in the rear cargo. I like it, but sure wish the 2013 carpet hooked velcro instead of having to use the tape.

I am still on the fence about which weather mats to get: Weather Tech vs OEM. Any with suggestions?

Thanks

If you are talking about the liners (fit the entire foot area) the OEM liners are made by Weathertech. I think they are the same thing, just different logos.

Indeed they are the same..... Only problem is that they don't yet have one for the 3rd row seats.

I have weathertech on the first and second row and possibly the third ( never lifted the seats up to check as I have a weathertech cargo tray as well) it is much much better than the standard all weather OEM mats mercedes sells ...BUT that being said it is not as perfect as weathertech advertises, I have towels underneath mine which cover anywhere from 2 to 6 inches for places that the weathertech does not cover. I'll post pics later in my other thread.

I ordered one from Canvasback based on positive reviews in this forum. It was delivered today so I have yet to test it out.

I have auburn/beige interior so I ordered the mocha color. It's darker than the carpet but I think it will look good.

Has anyone tried Weather Tech's weather rubber mats (not liner)?

I have the canvasback. I had one in my 2007 and now in my 2013. The 2013 carpet doesn't 'snag' the velcro, so you have to tape down velcro to get it to hold. It comes with the liner.

I got mine in the winter, so the tape didn't bond too well with the carpet but through time and warmer weather I think it will be ok.
