Floor mats
 
Hi all,

New member here. Took delivery of my 2015 S550 4Matic with all options (I think) except night view. I forgot to ask for all weather floor mats when at the dealership (which is about 4 hours away from where I live). I was trying to find some all weather floor mats online for my 550, but was unable to locate any. The ones I was able to find were all for the 550s 2014 or older. I have read conflicting reports of whether the ones for the 2014 models will work for the 2015. Can anyone confirm or refute this? :confused:

The '14 and '15 S Class 550s are the same car with a couple of minor tweaks that should not affect the floor mats. I purchased Weathertech Floor Liners in Beige for my '14 S550 4matic and they are great. They are the same part number for the '14 and '15 S Class in the US--not sure if you are in the US.

Thank you for the information. i will look for the '14 S550 floor mats. And yes, I am in the U.S.

I would suggest speaking with dealership sales manager to request complimentary mats shipped to you – you may be pleasantly surprised.

MY15 4matic OEM front set (black) 22268044489G33 MSRP $100 ($75/free shipping), rear 22268051489G33 $50 (37.50) http://www.oediscountparts.com/partl...?siteid=215242 (enter part #).

OEM mats are awesome! Just call the dealer, pay over the phone, get a discount and have them shipped for free like Konigstiger mentioned :)

Thanks for the nice, close-up pics of the mats! They sure look nice. I have crystal grey / seashell grey Nappa leather in my car, so I think the grey ones they show on the MBUSA website would be the best option for me, but I can't seem to find the grey ones.. only black and beige :confused:

Since the OEMs do not come in the Grey maybe you want to try the Weathertech liners.


As mentioned earlier, I am very happy with the weathertech floor liners. I have the beige. In the beige, they are a little darker shade of beige which really looks nice with the very light color beige interior. They come in Black, Beige, or Grey. If you happen to be in a winter climate they work better then the OEM rubber all season mats (in my opinion). I owned the OEM rubber mats on my '08 S550 4matic but switched to the weathertech liner on the '08 and the '14 S550 4matic. The weathertech floor liners even go up the sides so that the snow/ice do not escape from the mats/liners. They are a little different material then the rubber but for snowy winters with road salt from parking lots I really like the weathertech liners better then OEM all seasons. I started using them on my Ford F-150 pickup and they were great so I now use them on my other vehicles including the '14 S550.


They are at www.weathertech.com should you be interested.

That's good to know. I do happen to be in a cold, snowy state (ND), so that's exactly the kind of floor mats I would iike. Looking at the Weathertech website, they show two kinds.. the All weather floor mats and the digital fit floor liner. Do you know which is better for the cold and snow?

North Dakota? I grew up in ND--in Dickinson and went to college at the University of North Dakota. So I know you live in cold country. I now am in Pittsburgh, PA for over 25 years before moving from Minneapolis, MN 25 years ago.


Welcome fellow ND'er. Where about are you located in ND? Just curious since not many from ND own MB's.

Donald_S 11-30-2014 04:53 PM

Well, well! It is a small world! I am in Fargo...

I got so excited you were from ND, I forgot to answer your question. They only make the Floor Liners for the MB and not the rubber all seasons--do not know why--maybe they make the MB OEM (just a guess) and do not want to compete with the OEM at dealers.

I am going to order the WeatherTech floor liners. From their web site, I can select the MB 2015 S-class. It also prompts me to enter the "wheelbase". The only option is "Standard". Will this work for US? I thought the US models are long wheelbase... Just want to check if others has ordered this and found that work for their US models. Thanks.

Donald_S 12-20-2014 10:32 AM

I had the same question in my mind when I ordered the WeatherTec mats. Decided to take a chance and ordered them. They fit perfectly in my S550.

Thank you so much for the info. I am going to put in an order for that. Are you happy with the mats?

Donald_S 12-20-2014 02:31 PM

Yes, very happy with the fit and finish. I also like that they are "tray-like", so there is no risk of fluid spilling over the edges and reaching the floor. The color does not match my seats perfectly (I have crystal grey / Seashell grey Nappa), but since there are only three color choices available, I had to go with the closest match.

One more question. I noticed the original floor mats all have a pair of locking buttons at the bottom of the mats. Will the WeatherTech system able to use those buttons on the floor to lock down the floor liners or they just cover over them. Not sure if the floor liners are secure or they may move/shift out of place.

Donald_S 12-23-2014 07:44 AM

The WeatherTec floor liners do use the same buttons as the original floor mats.
