I got the Maxpider liner for the trunk. I want the Mercedes logo in the front so I will look for the oem mats. I will report back on the maxpider trunk liner when I get it. Thanks for the suggestions!

WeatherTech mats are the best.

That being said, there is a difference between the floor liners and the regular mats. I got the MB branded liners last week from the dealer. (Wife wanted the MB badge, so I paid about $30 more for the badge).

My Mercedes dealer said Mercedes doesn't sell the mats anymore due to the recall. But WeatherTech still has them. I went ahead and bought the mats for the second row as I like those better in the back.

Also, I love their cargo liners. Been buying one of those for every car I own for many years now.

WeatherTech Mats are not high enough in the rear, you'll stain your carpet because your feet will go past the height of the mat on both drivers and passenger sides. I sold my weathertech MB tagged and got Maxpider

I see what you mean. Those go in further under the seats where people are going to put their feet.

Alas, still not an option for me. Not made in brown, which is a non starter for the wife. (We have brown interior in our GLE).

I got my Maxpider matts on eBay, I bought the nylon ply carpet type as they are just as waterproof as the rubber type ones except they look more refined. They get dirty but rinse off easy. They also matched my tan carpet. I could keep them in all year but I do not want to wear them out, I still use my brown mats in the summer.

See how far up the mat goes? The weathertechs do not

Maxpider FTW, as the kids say.
All plastic ones are too short in overall length so that the passenger's feet will get all over the carpet in the front seat floor well because the mat does not extend upward enough to protect the carpet fully. Additionally, all the plastic ones feel like you're stepping on industrial plastic mat, tap tap. I don't drive an $80,000 GL so my feet can slide around in water or tap noisily on hard thin plastic. I sold my Lightly used Mercedes brown weathertek for these matching tan Maxspiders, first two tows only just kept the third row brown MB plastic. Maxspider is luxuriously comfortable it seems to absorb sound and add cushion. It covers all possible carpet areas and the dead pedal is especially well shaped. The only negative is the logo, but these are the absolute best accessory I ever purchased for any car. I still jokingly repeat to my kids aren't these the greatest mats you've ever seen?
So far I decided to keep these in the car all your round, they are very durable and why should I not protect the carpet from rain and sand in the summer as well as snow slush salt in the winter. All weather mat upgrade with these over stock carpets or plastic. Like Rainers says.
