All weather floor mats - to use or not to use

Hi there,

im getting my new GLC delivered in a month and I was wondering if people use floor mats. I find them very ugly and take away the original look of the vehicle but I'm not sure how difficult is to clean the original floor.

I haven't made a decision yet but I might have to go for a OEM all weather floor mat. How does the car look with the mats?

Discuss.

cheers,
Leo

Mats

My last vehicle I left then on all the time. Doesn't look great agreed but after a while uli didn't notice it anymore

On the glc I'm thinking using all weather mats winter only- with snow and such I think the regular mats would get beat up quick and then look awful

Currently debating weather tech vs MB mats. I didn't negotiate free mats when I bought the car. Pretty dumb of me.

Mats

I got in touch with my dealer and they say It will come with normal velour mats as standard. If I want something different, They suggest looking on the Mercedes part and accessories site and purchasing when I collect the car.

Is the velour mats any good?

I'd go for the OEM as the weather tech has a massive ugly shiny logo on the sides.

I have the MB all weather mats and they look fine. Wasn't too happy with the quality of the AMG ones that came with the car.

I have the MB all-weather mats which sit on top of the AMG ones the car came with. I like them.

I agree that the WeatherTech logo is ugly. I pulled it off the last 2 sets that I ordered with very little effort.

The logo is attached with some adhesive. It came off clean with no adhesive left on the liner itself.

My old W204 has the original AMG-velour mats in it. Since it was new in 2009. I've used it summer and winter, skiing, hiking, doing all kinds of activities. High pressure-washed them twice since I bought it. Never had odour problems.

Velour mats all year 8-)

The originals are very easy to clean. The quality of the material is very good. If you are going to go into the car with muddy boots... That's another story. Although you would be able to clean them easy. I put them on the floor and use a water blaster.. And they dry out pretty quickly.

I prefer to keep the looks. And if in the event that they wear out... They are pretty cheap to buy at the dealer. Over a year with no wear.

My originals aren't easy to clean, a lot harder than the ones I had in my discovery sport.

The dealer threw in black all season mats (made by the great Weather-tech co.) but my interior is beige so I'll probably just order beige ones later one. I have them in my GLK and they fit perfectly. snug and never move around unlike some cheaper ones that can literally cause an accident. It's a good investment purchase to protect the carpet forever.

I'm also looking for the Mercedes brand weather-tech floor mats. I saw a set at the dealership but it's not by weather-tech but the ones on mbusa site. Does anyone know the part# for the weather-tech brand one?

I have the weather-tech front and back and they are great. The huge shiny red WT logo is ugly so the MB branded version is much better. BTW I have a set of OEM carpet mats for sale. I removed them after 250 miles of use.

I’ve had the dealer throw them in gratis on my last three Benzes and leave them in until I sell or trade the car so the originals look new. The MB all weather mats look ok.
