WeatherTech Matts
More of an FYI and certainly not critical info but I just aquired a GLE350 over the weekend and live near the WeatherTech factory store so I picked up a set.
I have been happy with these through a couple of vehicles but it looks like their digital fit for the GLE is actually for the ML and all mats fit apart from the passenger side. The mat sticks out on the side facing the door and is not a good fit. I emailed their support so not sure if they will do anything and to be honest I am not super worried about it but if you would be, figured I would share.

Weather techs are too slippery

Those are all weather liners. Weather tech also makes all weather mats and you have to specify which ones you want. The MB brand were recalled 2 years ago and new ones haven't been introduced yet.

I have a ticket into them, they are checking the product code on the passenger mat. I'll post what I get. The floor liners I have are not slippery for me though. I have had WeatherTech in my last 3 cars and they work well. In the past I had the MB all weather mats which were sort of a honeycomb design to trap dirt and water but that also meant cleaning them was a pain, ergo WeatherTech.

Got info back, they did fit for the ML and not the GLE and after pointing out that this means they are falsely advertising the value of their "laserfit" mats for the GLE, they are offing a full refund. Mind you these are mats, not the end of the world that they did not actually update for a minor change in interior shape but this is the main value prop for the product. Oh well.

traded in '13 ML350 now '16 GLE 350
That's weird... I just took out my weather tek's out of my 2013 ML350
and put them in my 2016 GLE till I get new ones and they fit perfectly.
They must have changed them for the 14's or 15's which is

I picked up my Weathertechs (with Mercedes badging) from the stealership. Price was the same as from Weathertech, fit was perfect, and the fronts snap into the carpet clip. Rear passenger row sits on the clips (doesn't clip in). Cargo is NOT Weathertech, but very similar, and MB badging on it, so I'll take that over Weathertech badging $300some total for all.

Weather tech are pieces of garbage. They do not fit correctly on the E350 also. Bought a set and returned them because they did not fit correctly. Bought 3D maxpider matts and they fit like a glove. Perfectly. They were also cheaper and look better.

If you put a little effort into the search you should contact one of the people that sell the product. When I originally went looking on ebay at the dozen or so sellers my vehicle was not listed either but after contacting one they had it in stock. lol

WeatherTech Lifetime Warranty
Look at the wear my driver's side WeatherTech mat displayed after only 10,400 miles. In reading their warranty below, I did NOT consider this normal wear. After all, my GLE is 3 1/2 years old, but it has less miles than the average person accumulates in a single year. Fortunately, WeatherTech agreed with me and honored their warranty. They sent me brand new front floor mats for both driver's and passenger's sides. I only asked for the driver's side, but they come in pairs that are attached. I love companies that stand by their products. That's why I decided to share this. By the way, the new mats seem to be a slightly harder rubber compound. Maybe they realized the rubber was too soft and made adjustments.
