Does anyone have the OEM trunk/cargo liner (1678140100) installed? I’d like to see what it looks like installed before purchasing. I have factory weather mats in the rest of the car, just not in the trunk. I’m debating WeatherTech vs. the factory liner.
I have the OE cargo liner in the 2026 GLE coupe. I too was considering the WeatherTech option, but I had a WT liner in the back of my GLS550 and it curled up on the left and right sides as it was just a bit too wide. It didn't lay down smoothly left to right. The WT liner was "softer" plastic than the OE liner, and possibly a bit thicker. That said, I do like the OE version better. It fits perfectly front to back and side to side. Being as vain as I am, I also like that it has "Mercedes Benz" and the three-point star embossed in it.
Full disclosure, I didn't get much of a discount on my car as I ordered it with the options I wanted. The salesperson "threw in" my cargo liner. I'll get a picture for you this afternoon.
I have a LLoyds mat that's on its third car. Has held up really well. This is the Northridge model and it's a heavy rubber that lays very flat. It doesn't move at all.
Plasticized/rubberized cargo liners allow items to move. I much prefer the factory carpet mat, which is better to keep items in place. In addition, I have a
I posted earlier today about my experience with WeatherTech cargo liners and I promised a picture of my OE liner.
Mine is almost exactly the same as the one @BlueYonder has except mine has the relief areas near the back seats to access the cargo D-rings on the side. Keep in mind that my car is the GLE450C4 - the coupe version.
There are several other threads on this topic, so you might find a search is useful as well. I've personally tried three different mats, as summarized below.
OE Mat: Not very pretty, but excellent durability and slide resistance. But there's actually too much grip. The cleats make sliding things in and out very difficult, meaning you often need to lift-and-place -- especially heavy items. My wife is only 5' 4" and with such little leverage she really struggles to move cargo around.
Tuxmat: Very nice looking, durable material that's easy to clean and seems to always look new, but it lacks grip even when using WT load management blocks. Ours can also be noisy when it flexes if there's little or no weight on it.
WeatherTech: Still the best overall compromise for us. Things slide well enough to maneuver cargo, and there's a good amount of grip. WeatherTech load blocks easily hold items in place if they won't stay put on their own. We've had no fit or curling issues. We currently have WT cargo liners in both our vehicles, although they are not my choice for floor mats. (I prefer Tuxmat or 3D floor mats.)

I'm leaning more toward the factory MB liners. I didn't realize there are two different options for the Coupe vs. the SUV. Interestingly enough, the Coupe liner with the cutouts is significantly cheaper than the SUV version.
After doing some digging, I'm pretty sure the trunk floor footprint on the Coupe is the same as the SUV, so I'm considering ordering the Coupe version even though I have the SUV.

Does anyone know if I'm correct?
Thanks again
The Coupe is a shorter car. Shorter overall and the wheelbase is about 4" shorter.
