All weather floor mats
Has anyone found all weather/rubber floor mats for the E63? I see plenty of options for W212's without the dead pedal.
|
Best options I've seen are OEM winter mats or the Weathertech version of those, or the Weathertech digital fit mats, which come up on the sides for better coverage. I'm tired of the carpet sides getting messed up so I just bought a set of the Digital Fit mats. Very cool.
|
There is no E AMG specific all weather floor matts correct? Just the standard E class W212s?

That's the question. I haven't found anything suitable. From what I can see, the standard W212 mat does not have a cut out for the dead pedal. |
I stopped by the dealer parts counter while I was in for the first service. Computer suggested using the standard W212 rubber floor mat. But, clearly it won't fit due to the dead pedal.
|
Timely subject! i was looking into this today and the recommended floor mats as per the mbusa.com site for the E63 is:
http://www.mbusa.com/mercedes/access...rtNo:BQ6680712 Basically its that part BQ6680712 It definitely looks like it has a bit there that would interfere with the dead-pedal, but could it just be cut off??? |
Check part BQ66880710 (black) shown in both versions - provide VIN to confirm

They're actually showing three different models in that AMZN picture. Soo confused. Can anyone confirm if the pre-'14 E63 has the same dead pedal and location of the anti-slip hardware? |
When I went to pick up my car yesterday I spoke with the sales manager and they offered to throw in the appropriate all-weather mats. They are being shipped to my house, so when they arrive I guess we'll see which specific model they are, and if they do indeed fit.

As suspected the floor mats arrived, and they were the standard E-Class ones with the extra flap on the left where the AMG mats are cut out for the dead-pedal. I laid the AMG mats on top and they are exactly the same shape except that protruburance. 2 seconds with the stanley knife and i cut that bit off the new all-weather mat. Fits in just perfect now.

Anyone else found a suitable floor mat?

The merc ones work fine. You can even leave the foot rest portion in place, it fitted fine with it in it's original form. I just prefer to see the chrome foot rest rather than the rubber bit :) Vanity I know!

Like them so far. X |
Strange, but my 2014 E63 S-Wagon does not have the aluminum & rubber dots dead pedal. Just the regular carpeting there.
The gas pedal, brake pedal, and parking brake are all alum. & rubber dots - just not the dead pedal. :confused: Build date was October 2013. Makes the Weather Tech mats fit perfectly, though. |

Just carpet on the dead pedal?!?! WTH! Don't tell me MB is cutting cost on things like that. Are you sure the factory didn't forget to put it in? Of course at the same time, you wouldn't regret the oem mat covering up the dead pedal area. |
Yep, my 2014 wagon also has a carpeted dead pedal. What f**king bulls**t. I didn't even know sedans had his metal dead pedal until now.
|
Wow! How do you really feel about that??
|
So is that also the case for all you folks with the pre-'14 E63 wagons--no metal dead pedal? Sometimes, I really wonder the rationale behind some of these weird decisions made by companies nowadays.
|
Ordered the MB floormats from Amazon. Linky pfound earlier in this thread. That seller is on the west coast. Took ten days to arrive here in DC area.
I used the good-weather floor mat as a template, and sliced the appendage off. The rubber is really, really, really soft and flimsy. Wagon owners will probably be better served by the weathertech digitals. |

I just picked these up from the dealer. They are made by Weather Tech for Mercedes. I think they butt up nicely against the dead pedal. They have the floor snap connection.
|
Those are really nice.
|
I actually don't mind the W212 weather mat covering the dead pedal. Keeps it clean and my wet soles don't slip on the dead pedal. To each his own I guess.
|
I was told there's a backorder on OEM floor mats in Canada…
I really like the Weather Tech ones above. I had them in my Porsche and they were awesome in the winter. |
The standard W212 rubber floor mat is slippery. Like it's teflon-coated, or something.
Not sure these will be going back in next winter. |
I just received my digifit weathertech mats. They are everything you would expect from weathertech. Usually the first thing I purchase for any new car I get.
On weathertech website you can't get the 2014 option yet but I ordered it from another website which DIRECTED me to the weathertech website where I completed my purchase..........very weird. |

If it helps, I posted pics of the WeatherTechs in the E63 on the first page of this thread.
|
2th, which dealer? DM or Weber?
|
Here are pics of the digifits
Drivers side http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/e...ig/image-8.jpg Passenger side http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/e...ig/image-4.jpg Different view pass side http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/e...ig/image-6.jpg Rear seating http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/e...ig/image-5.jpg Much different than the standard weathertechs, these things are more like basins than mats! |
Mponsig, do you have the website from wich you ordered?
|
Hey guys,
Newbie not at the mat stage yet, can any one look up my post about E63 pricing and help out. I'm in NYC area and looking for the NO BS dealer to order from with a good discount to go with that lol. Best, |
Just stupid

Weathertech rocks. I have them in my C & E 63.

Resurrecting old thread. Does anyone have feedback for the Weathertech floor liners front & rear for 14 E63S sedan vs. the MB OEM floor liners which I have heard are made by Weathertech? Just curious if one is better than the other? Thank you
|
I can't say anything about the OE ones. I have the full set from weathertech and they are very nicely contoured to the lines of the floor and trunk. I love how the ONE for the rear covers the hump (driveshaft tunnel). These mats are the ones to have specially if you have kids... unless you are one of them people that gotta have everything OEM.
|

|
Well, just to muddy up the water...
Those aren't mats. Those are liners. Different.

I'm very pleased with the TuxMat floor mats that I ordered using Amazon. They cover the dead-pedal, but fit really well and are more substantial looking than the Weathertech mats in my Son's car. We drive a Hammer wearing a Tuxedo, so I thought TuxMat would be appropriate for the car. :D
TuxMat Link: https://www.tuxmat.ca/store/p274/mer...z-e-class.html The WeatherTech Floor Liners ask about the mounting type & has 2 options. My 14 E63S sedan has 2 lugs / posts on the driver side and none on passenger side. Thank you |
. |
Thank you very much for the recommendation & pics. I think I am going to buy TuxMat front & rear mats & 3D Maxpider trunk liner.
|
Those look fancy! I have the standard MB weather mats and they protect ok, though some side protection like the Tux ones would be nice. Also, has anyone figured out how to prevent the rear rubber mats from sliding around? I’ll be working on this soon so ill update if i come up with a good solution. Rather useless as ANYONE who sits in the back immediately pushes them under the front seats. |

I have the Weathertech and they are great but after looking at the Tux pics, dang, I think I missed out. Looks great.

The TuxMat just lays over the two drivers side posts. One of the raised areas on the TuxMat is located where the two drivers side posts are located and there is no interference. The TuxMat fits like a glove and is thicker
and not as flimsy as the Weathertech so there is no movement whatsoever. The TuxMat is more formal looking and I think it compliments the E63 interior better than the Weathertech. Here are a few photos of my drivers side after 10k miles of driving use and a rainy day today: https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...78edc59679.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...595bbde540.jpg

Not a fan of the Weathertech's either. They don't seem to fit the nature of the car and look cheap compared to others on the market. The Weathertech's are very durable and well made but, again, to me they don't fit the character of an MB and meld better with a Chevy truck with full vinyl interior if that makes sense?

I'm not exactly sure what they are made of. You should be able to find that out on their website. The are non-permeable, but are pliable and thicker than the Weatertechs we have in my Son's car. The raised areas are firm with minimal give when pressed, but basically feel the same as the flat areas. Bottom side reminds me of the carpet in my car. In an earlier post "allenjdmb" correctly pointed out that even though the name is TuxMat, they are liners like the Weathertech. So you could spill your bottle of water and it would be contained. I also think the sides might go up higher on the TuxMat since they meet the bottom of the center console on both sides, but have a cutout for the map net on the passenger side. The back side that sits in front of the seat doesn't have a high side that protrudes up like the Weathertech, but when they are installed it would contain water the way designed. If you were so inclined, you can hose these off also. I don't have any type of stake in the company that sells TuxMat. I just like the non-utilitarian look of the TuxMat versus the Weathertech for my car. They dress up the interior while doing what they are designed to do very well. Some of the other liners I saw were really nice, but kind of jumped the shark for our interiors. The looked like they belonged more in a Ferrari or Lambo instead of an E63 and the price reflected same.

Thanks to the forum for solid recommendations. I recently got the TuxMat front & rear one piece mats & 3D Maxpider trunk liner. The TuxMat rear mat needed a little work to get the mats to go under the seat rail & ensure the mat stayed under the front seat when they are moved all the way back. I will keep an eye on those areas to ensure the mat does not get caught. So far I am very pleased with the TuxMat front & rear liners. I did not install the Retention Hook System that came with the TuxMat, which has a large pin that goes through the oem floor covering as I did not want to put a hole in this. I plan to cut off the pin and just use use plastic part to plug the hole on the drivers side TuxMat. I also have not yet installed the clips & velcro and even without them the TuxMats fit snug and don't move around.
The 3D Maxpider trunk liner is also very nice, fits well, looks nice, has nice surface texture that should reduce some sliding around of objects in the trunk and should offer good protection. |
TuxMat must have changed their retention system design. At least I don’t recall on my 2014 E63 any hole or a pin that went through carpet. A couple small slip clips were included that could be placed anywhere as needed on TuxMat along trans tunnel, or door sill, but that’s about it on mine. I used one of the clips on drivers side trans tunnel. The rear TuxMat fits my car like a glove and there is no movement, or interference with front seat movement. Good to hear you like them so far. Mine have held up well. |
Back from the dead bump, but I figured it’s a 2 for 1.
Does the W212 E63 S come with a dead pedal?? It’s new to me and mine is absent. It even looks like there may be a hole in the carpet (where there was one). If yes, is there a part number? I get a bunch of weird after-market looking result when I Google it. And, how did the TuxMat hold up? Seeing as this is 5 years old. I’ve put WeatherTech in all my cars, but it looks pretty cool! |
I have weathertechs and I am fairly pleased with them but then again, I never drive it in any inclement weather so I might just replace them with the OEM one's LOL

Weathertech's do not go high enough so you have mud and debris that get's behind the mat unless you have kid size feet. That and they look cheap. I had them too before better products were released. |
Actually, I think the street price for WeatherTech and Mercedes are close to the same. I think there may be confusion between a Floor Liner and All-Weather Floor Mats. My Mercedes rubber mats are like the WeatherTech all-weather mats, not liners. I like 'em, but I don't drive an SUV. I have a 2000 Ford F150 with a quarter million miles for hauling crap.

So, yeah, the all-weather floor mats do not offer protection on the sides but do go higher in the back. The MAXpider 3d not only look much better, not like something you would put in an Ford Econoline van, and offer more protection than the weather tech product. The MAXpider for the GL/GLS/GLE are really great and go over the door threshold so you stop the migration of the dirt and keep the threshold from getting scratched. Again, former Weathertech fan, still have them in my garage, but not in my vehicles. There a better looking and better performing products than Weathertech.

Mine came with these 3d brand ones. they fit great, look better than the weathertechs.
I don't use them tho, if anyone wants them, I'll sell them https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...fa12105896.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...95237dcc76.jpg |
It appears 3D doesn't make mats for either my SL or C-Class.

Floor Liner https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...bd7c1a97b3.png All-Weather Floor Mat I'd get the WeatherTech mats and cut off the Dead Pedal part. Amazon and WeatherTech both $124.95 plus tax. (WeatheTech.com is $109.95 plus $15 shipping plus tax) |
