Mat Source
One of the first accessories that I wanted to get for my ML was a set of replacement floor mats. Carpet ones are just not working well during the winter.
After looking through the threads on these forums I made my mind up about the options that I want:
— all-weather Weathertech mats for the front (rubber part covers the left foot rest)
— digital fit Weathertech for the rear
— Weathertech cargo mat
From what I understand there is set of exactly the same mats done by Weathertech with MB branding. So I stopped by my dealer to check what they have.
The only option they had was rear+front digital fit set for more money than WT has them for. And I don't like the front ones. And they wouldn't sell me just the rear ones. And nothing at all for cargo.
Is that normal? Is there a place where I could get MB branded ones in a set that I wrote out above? I looked online and didn't find any sources.
For now I just ordered everything directly from WT, but maybe there is a way to get what I really want. Any input would be appreciated.

2014 Black ML350 4Matic
I received a set of black WT MB branded front and rear floor mats after I purchased the car as a gift. I noticed you are in Brooklyn and it may be a little far for but mine were purchased from Mercedes of Massapequa where I purchased my car. I'm not sure though if they have them in stock. I'm still looking for a cargo mat as I'm not sure whether to go with the Weathertech, the MB reversible cargo mat or the MB cargo area tray.

I purchased the MB brand front, rear and the cargo tray from my dealer about two weeks after I purchased the vehicle. They had them in stock and provided a discount for all accessories for 30 days, so I made use of it.
The front driver's side mat goes about halfway up the foot rest and the back is one piece that straddles the center portion. I'm not sure if that's the type you're looking for, but I believe these are the standard for the 2014.
Because I live more than an hour from the dealership, I had asked about having them shipped. They said no problem with the mats, but the cargo tray wouldn't ship well. I ended up picking them up. You might be able to find a dealership that has the MB version mats in stock and could ship them.

When I purchased my '13 ML Dec of 2012, the dealer threw in the all-weather mats as well as the carpet mats. They also threw in the the back tray and the reversible cargo mat, none of these extras are on the invoice, but then I bargained for them.
The only time I have ever used the carpet floor mat was when I fell in a parking lot during ice rain, and used one to get up from the ice.

We just purchased the digital fit weathertech's in black. I had to leave them lay in the sun for a little while for them to form fit but they do fit very well both front and rear. Now the rear cargo mat is a different story. I am not happy it does not truly form fit the entire rear section, on the drivers side it leaves a portion uncovered and the hatch did not want to auto close because of some overhang at the latch. I did not want to modify it and have contacted weathertech about it but have not heard anything yet.

So I placed mix-and-match order from WT as well.
All-weather front, DigitalFit rear and cargo. Hope they work well.
The only reason I don't like DigitalFit for the front is the fact that it doesn't cover left rest foot spot. Why would they design it that way? Weird.

I too ordered direct from WT and used the product finder for my year 2014. Like I said I'm waiting on an answer from WT as to what they want to do. I sent pics of latch area to them so I hope to have an answer this week.
