https://floormats.dreamcarz1.org/col.../mercedes-benz

they look fantastic. i've already ordered and received my Maxpider mats which i really like, but i'm still looking for trunk mat. i'd like something that can cover trunk area with 3rd row flat and the side as well.
also would like flex material that can be easily folded up when 3rd row is in use. let me know if anyone has tried these.

I've seen them and several vendors sell them. I'm hesitant since I've notice mixed reviews. Some people have said the mats are not a perfect fit, tend to slide, get dirty in snowy weather and can get stuck in the pedals. I would love to get them, can you post photos? A lot of them are BMW stock photos, I have not seen actual MB customer photos (GL).

i've already got different mats for floors. i'm looking into ONLY getting their trunk mat. maybe it's not truly heavy duty (or even medium duty). i've sent them an email to see how it works with 3rd row up or down. i'll probably go with 3D trunk mat, but i'm looking for more flexible materials so i can still fold it up when 3rd row is in use.

Those mats look really nice and I'm sure they feel great if you are riding as a passenger without shoes on. But the idea of spending a lot of money on something that will easily be destroyed by water, salt, and dirty shoes seems really silly to me.

I had a trunk mat of this variety from China. Ended up throwing it away. Looked okay, but you could tell the material was crap and it had a strong chemical smell that just wouldn't go away. Instead of having to ship it back to China, agreed on a partial refund with the vendor and threw it away.

Try a 3' x 5' door mat from Home Depot. Doesn't quite cover side to side. I hardly ever put the 3rd row up. So the excess just stows down behind the second row. I play crappy golf 3 times a week so there's grass back there all the time. My Dyson stick vac takes care of that. Less than 20 bucks so if you wreck it who cares?

As I mentioned in one of your other threads, try this mat. The mat stays put and so does anything you put on it. And it's durable as hell too. It easily rolls up when you want to take it out for cleaning or whatever. Any other mat you get will allow your stuff to be sliding all over the place. You don't have to take it out to fold up the 3rd seat either.

I looked long and hard to find the right mat for the cargo area that wouldn't slide around and would keep my golf clubs and other things from shifting. This is the best solution out there right now. And it's a perfect fit.

I have the Autopreme ones in my GL and purchased some off Ebay for my SL. The Autopreme ones were 3x the cost of the ones on Ebay but do seem to be of higher quality. Love both sets and they are very durable. It's great because the GL is exposed to sand from beach volleyball 4x per week. They hold all the sand are are easily cleaned. Yes, they stay put and do not interfere with the pedals.

My low rent solution for the back. It will roll up so you can keep it in the car with the third row up, but really not room for anything else.

Would really appreciate some pictures of those Autopreme mats if you can, I have been on the fence with those based on price and concern over quality; how do you like them... would you buy them again?
How well do they fit?
I have the black diamond stitched seats... have not purchased as I've not heard any real-world reviews.

Very nice...how slippery, how long have you had them installed? What color is your thread?
would you buy them again?

Thanks for the pictures...and your help with my questions.

I've had them about a week.
They aren't slippery at all.
The thread is white to match the stiching in my seats.
I'd buy them again for twice the money
I'm actually very impressed with the quality.

when I emailed the seller to ask when they were going to be shipped she had mentioned they were being custom-made and so would be a few days.

Was worth the wait.

Hope that helps.

I just don't see those mats holding up in decent condition for very long. The whole premise of floor mats that aren't durable like regular ol' floor mats made of rubber or nylon carpeted mats with a durable rubber backing seems very illogical to me. Shoes will shred those mats up pretty quickly, especially the heals. And dirt being ground into them will also ruin them quickly....as well as water and salt.

The only useful purpose I'd see with mats like that would be installing them at a car show where nobody will be in the car.

These have a rubber backing, with little spikes,and are thicker than you might imagine . I'll probably take them out come winter. For now I'm loving them.

They're $100, not $1000. So if they look good all summer I'm happy.. They wipe up easily,and keep all the carpet from even being touched..

I can imagine that much like many Chinese sellers depending on who you buy from you get better or worse quality products.
​​​​​​
Here is the back,and some more pics..

and I'm not about to go take my fronts out but on the bottom of my front mats there are little tiny spikes that dig into the carpet.
I'd buy these again for 2x the money.

I thought this is a thread about trunk mats. Not floor mats.
