I bought the Mercedes trunk seal today at the local dealer, and it is quite a bit different from the ÜRO trunk seal I bought online. The Mercedes seal (1) outlines a definite rectangular channel shape and (2) contains a fine lip to seal against the outer side wall of the channel. Also, (3) the upper lip of the Mercedes seal that rests against the trunk lid is bent outward, facilitating proper fit upon lid closure. All 3 of these features seem amiss on the ÜRO seal. I had difficulty closing the trunk with the ÜRO seal in place, probably because of missing feature #3. The material of the Mercedes seal is also a fair amount softer. and easier to fold or stretch.

I was charged ~ $86 at the dealer for the trunk seal.
