All You Need to Know About Floor Mats

You can order interior accessories galore online these days for a Mercedes-Benz car or SUV. Floor mats -- also called floor liners or simply car mats -- are one of the most important. What they do is obvious: a form of interior protection, they help safeguard the plastic panels and upholstery (floor carpet) that comprise your vehicle's floors.

What They're Made of

Most are either fabric or carpet, rubber, or vinyl. Carpeted floor mats, for example, are absorbent, designed for normal, everyday use. Rubberized or vinyl floor mats, on the other hand, sometimes called "all-weather," are more of the premium variety: they're ultra-durable and made to repel muck and debris.

Their Features

Floor mats come in a variety of styles and colors. Some have caps or high treads, if not raised or beveled edges or spikes. These make cleaning easier. Others have clips, if not retainers or nibs. These give the mats a better grip on your floors. Some even resist fading, stains, and slippage.

When to Replace Them

Look for tears, slipping, and crumpling up. Tearing makes it easier for crud to get trapped under a mat, which will enable more of it to accumulate and potentially lead to damaged floors. On your driver's side, sliding and crinkling can lead to a mat lodging under your accelerator or brake pedal, and that can put you in danger during a drive.
