Over mats
Hi,
I want to replace the over carpets on my 1999 Sl320 which has a mushroom interior but have just been told that they are no longer available from the dealerships - has anyone any idea where I can get them from in the UK? |

That is a shame. I just bought a set of factory carpets for our 400 and the TE. The dealer had both of them. Must be different in the UK. The 400 is a 93 and the TE a 95.

I see them on e-bay frequently.

This may not be useful to newer MB owners, but I have always gotten a fast (< 1 biz day) and very clear response with active P/N's and list prices from MBUSA Classic Center. Of course, you need to be as clear as possible with your question (supply VIN, color codes, etc). You may ask why I don't ask the local dealer first. I cannot print that answer in this forum. Armed with this, any dealer will be able to get you parts.

They are still available at the dealer. I buy a new set each year. I'm in the UK, too. They cost about 70quid a set.

Just to put a cat amongst the the pidgeons - these are no longer available to order - they have stopped being made. The only way to get them is if a dealer has any stock left. I tried getting some cream mats last week for a friend and there were two sets left. Black is the only colour that is readily available - £38 + VAT for the velour type.

There seems to be some contradictory advice here - JJRodgers can you let me know which dealer you use, the only one I've asked so far is South Lakes. Many thanks.

I use Mercedes-Benz of Newcastle upon Tyne. The parts man I deal with is Kevin Thompson or Eddie, who is a bit wacky but has an encyclopaedic knowledge. The dealership telephone is 0191 226 7444. I obtained some old "Brazil" (dark brown) colour velours mats early last year. I'm sure they were 70 pounds, though. I will be buying "Java" (beige) mats this year.

Many thanks for the contact - I've just had word back from them that the only ones left available are black. As my car interior is mushroom I guess I'll have to get some non orioginals from somewhere. |

That's bad news because I want Java.
There is a pair of mushroom ribbed mats hanging up in the showroom near the door. Don't know if they would fit the SL, though.

There are a number of companies that make alternatives less the metal plate MB logo - you could transfer this from your old mats anyway if need be.
These come recommended from other MB owners: Auto Style KMS |
