floor mats

Just curious what you guys are using for floor mats? Specifically all season or winter mats. My regular ones are already getting too dirty with all the snow! I know weathertech seems to be popular, but they don't seem to be available yet for the qx30

Curious as well! Wondering if the Mercedes GLA Weathertec matts will fit since there is so much crossover?

The dealer agreed to throw in the all-season floor mats and the cargo protector. They've done a nice job with the snow. Definitely recommend them or something similar.

Someone buy a set of GLA ones from Weathertech and check if they fit. Those are usually better than the Infiniti branded ones. But maybe Merc makes somethihng good?

I highly doubt anyone wants to take the plunge and spend a couple hundred bucks on mats for a GLA to see if they'll fit lol. I doubt they would either way though and weather techs are extremely specific in sizing and they're laser cutting and what not.

x2 on that.

I rather spend $30 on a cheap set of universal mats and trim them to fit, but that's just me, I don't care for anything fancy if fancy takes too much effort/resources to get.

Its just not worth it. The main goal is, I need my carpets to be protected.

That's pretty much it, and everyone can gauge what they put their floors through and go about it accordingly. Don't get me wrong, I love weather tech floor mats, they're freaking amazing in terms of maintenance and catching everything and heck, they look good too. But if they aren't available yet, I'll go about it how I did before and do the same thing you're saying. Universal mats and trim to fit. Call it a day. Vacuum periodically maybe once a week or something and I'm happy.

That and even find something preventative to protect the carpets like scotch guard or something so that way when something really messed it up, the clean up won't be nearly as hard or time consuming. But I like to keep it easy from the start and get a black interior. That way you take away 90% of typical interior concerns in this thread.

Anything other than a black interior and you need to be extremely careful, and maintain the heck out of your interior. I've seen some interiors where I thought they were supposed to be black...but they were beige. Simply disgusting. But there isn't any way to get that clean color again without trying to re-dye everything.
