Bad fitting Merc Mats
April 30, 2008I ordered a set of Mercedes floor mats for the V-trek van so that the fit was perfect. I decided that I would go for the top of the range mats made out of Velour, they were very expensive at £93 per set. (I did manage to get a small amount of discount off but they were still expensive!) I ordered them on the Wednesday and by the Friday they had been delivered, which was exceptionally quick. We were all so disappointed with the mats when I fitted them into the floor area of the van, they just did not fit anywhere!, they did not follow the contours of the foot wells, there was not a durable heel pad for the drivers side mat, and there was great big areas of the floor that was not covered by the mat at all! On the Saturday I took the mats back to the Mercedes garage that had ordered them for me, they were also shocked at how badly the mats fitted the cab floor. Hence these mats have been sent back. Since then we have found a company called Autostyle on the internet that make tailor made car mats, their prices are very resonable. We can make the template ourselves and they will make up the mats to our design with the V-trek logo on, at half the price of the Mercedes mats. I have received colour samples of the mats through the post today, so will decide on a colour and get a set made. I will keep you posted on the result of the tailor made mats.
