Does anyone have the FULL cargo liner from Weathertech

Wonder if this will fold up when you raise the rear seats?

It's meant to be removed before raising the seats.

I bought one, but don't have the vehicle yet to test it out. However, the online reviews said it will flop over with the power seats as you raise them. I'm pretty sure they will because they are lighter than I expected. Lighter than the flat rubber liners I had originally ordered and then didn't like.

The WT liner came rolled in a box, and easily rolls or folds over. If you need to put something in back, you could use a large binder clip to secure it flat if need be. The booklet said that you can do that (fold it over), but not regularly, to avoid warping the fit. I also bought the small liner for times when I plan to use the 3rd row. But I like that I can flop it over if I unexpectedly need to use the back row.

Here's a photo of the Weathertech full cargo liner folded in half. It's fairly lightweight, but seems durable.

I've got it and you can flip the seats back and it will fold/roll by itself. I will say that it's not ideal only because if you need to throw something behind the 3rd row, then you have this thing in the way. I also just purchased the mat for behind the 3rd row just in case for those times when I need the seats up and need something there. A little much money for what it was, but it's good to have.

How much are the two mats (the full size one and the one that fits just behind the 3rd row)?

$148 and $128 retail price, minus about 15% if you find an online coupon code.

I paid $129.95 for the full cargo mat that goes behind the 2nd row. The 3rd row mat was $109.95 and shipping is $18.

Where did you order yours?

Did you all purchase both?

Thanks!

NEWBIE15 didn't take for me. Do you need to call in?

They have a code on their homepage now that says JINGLE15. If it doesn't work, I'd call. I ordered a Bak tonneau cover for my husband's new truck and had to call in for the discount.

We've had Canvasback Cargo Liners which are nylon and attach by velcro allowing us to put one or both 3rd row seats up without a hitch. Love 'em.

Sorry, never saw this reply. I ordered mine directly from www.weathertech.com
I am now thinking I like the Canvasback liner better now that I have seen the pictures. More functional especially when raising only 1 3rd row seat but still having the option for it to be covered.

Someone mentioned that the velcro doesn't stick to the current model's carpeting, and you have to use adhesive velcro strips on the carpet. I was worried about the glue sticking to the carpet and damaging it. I mainly use the large weathertech, and switch to the small one if we use the 3rd row. Once I needed the 3rd unexpectedly when giving friends a lift, and just flopped the big one over and it folds okay. Not as nice as that canvasback, though, for convenience. Maybe someone can weigh in on the glue concern.

Hi Jlarew- have you had any issues with your Canvasback liners on the '13 or 14 GL's? Says that they have some new velcro or something and someone else mentioned glue getting on the carpet. Wondering how much you love them and do they wipe right up? Does stuff slide around?

Thanks!

I can comment on my experience. For the x164 the clingy portion of the velcro was on the canvasback, and it hooked nicely into the carpet of the X164. It was excellent.

For the x166, MB changed the carpet and the clingy portion no longer hooks into it. So you have to stick the non-clingy velcro onto the carpet. It has a glue on the back of it and is supplied by canvasback, so no need to purchase anything.

I don't ever pull up my canvasback since there's not need, but I did take my GL350 in for detailing last November at my dealer, and they removed it to clean the carpet. The non-clingy part stuck to the carpet just fine. I have black carpet and black velcro, so it wasn't too noticeable, but that's the only time I've actually see it after I installed it. I do have to say, I wouldn't want to have to remove that velcro, for fear of leaving a mess, but I'm not sure why you'd want to. I should mention I have the lockable storage in the back by the spare, and I haven't used it because the canvasback covers it.

In terms of functionality, I really like them. They keep the dirt off the carpet and sweep out nicely. Think of them as a canvas rug, so not much sticks to them. I clean them usually by vacuuming or if there's mud stuck to them using a brush (sometimes I just use my snow brush). They aren't good for liquid since there are open edges for it to soak through/around. I haven't had an issue with things sliding anymore than expected.

Thanks so much for all the useful information! I currently have the weather tech rubber mat in the back, but I don't like that if I need to raise the 3rd row that I can't just flip one up if I need. I have to lift both and then the mat rolls back and it can get in the way. I like the fact that the canvasback can split.
