Mercedes-Benz Protection: Dash Mats, Bonnet Protectors and More

A Mercedes-Benz is built to be lived with for the long term, and the details are what keep one looking the part. This is the hub for Mercedes interior and exterior protection at Cover Store, bringing together tailored dash mats from Sunland and vehicle-specific bonnet protectors and weathershields from OCAM. Fitment reaches from the current X-Class ute and C-Class sedan through the Vito and Viano vans and the hard-working Sprinter, right back to the classic chassis-code saloons. Start here, then follow the links into whichever category suits the job.

Sunland dash mats for the interior

The dash is where a Mercedes shows its age first, as constant UV dries and fades the upper dashboard over the years. Sunland dash mats are pattern-cut for individual Mercedes models, from the C-Class W205 to the Vito CDI and Viano, with the cut-outs falling neatly around vents, sensors and airbag zones. They keep the surface cooler, cut windscreen glare and help an original dash hold its condition, which matters just as much on a modern car as a cherished older one.

OCAM bonnet protectors for the highway

Out on the open road the bonnet takes a constant barrage of stones and insects. The OCAM bonnet protector for the X-Class clips to the leading edge and deflects that debris up and over the paint and the base of the windscreen. It is shaped to the vehicle so it follows the bonnet line cleanly rather than looking like an afterthought, and it takes the chips that would otherwise land on the duco of a car you have paid to keep smart.

Weathershields and replacement clips

OCAM also supplies weathershields, or window visors, that let you crack the windows for airflow while keeping rain and buffeting out, which is handy on a van that spends long days parked up. Replacement clips are stocked too, so a protector or visor that has done many kilometres can be refreshed rather than replaced. These smaller items are easy to overlook but they are what keep the exterior accessories working as they should.

Vans: Vito, Viano and Sprinter

The commercial side of the three-pointed star is well represented. Dash mats suit the Vito CDI and the Viano people-mover, along with the Sprinter across its CDI generation, the 906 series shared with the Volkswagen Crafter, and the earlier 312D that ran alongside the Volkswagen LT. For an owner-driver or a fleet, a van dash spends more hours in the sun than most, so a mat is cheap protection against a cracked, faded top pad.

Classic chassis-code saloons

Part of what makes this range interesting is how far back it reaches. Sunland dash mats cover the classic Mercedes saloons by chassis code, including the 116, 123 and 126 series, the kind of cars whose owners care most about keeping the interior original. Reproduction dash pads for these are scarce and costly, so a mat that shields the top surface from the sun is a small outlay that protects something genuinely hard to replace.

Choosing the right category

Decide first what you are protecting. Choose a dash mat for sun, heat and glare inside the cabin; choose a bonnet protector for stone chips and bug strike on the highway; add weathershields if you want ventilation without the weather. Each product title spells out the exact model, series or chassis code and the year range it suits, so cross-check that against your Mercedes before you order and the fit will be right.

Why model-specific matters on a Mercedes

A Mercedes rewards accessories chosen for the exact vehicle rather than approximated. A dash mat cut to the specific chassis or series follows the dash line and clears the vents and sensors cleanly, and a bonnet protector shaped to the model hugs the panel instead of sitting proud. That precision is what separates protection that looks factory-considered from an add-on that stands out for the wrong reasons, which matters on a car where presentation is part of the point. It is worth taking the moment to confirm the right variant before you order.

Building a complete package

There is no need to tackle everything at once. Many owners start with the dash and add exterior protection later, or begin with a bonnet protector before the next long trip. Because the ranges here are model-specific, the pieces work together to guard the surfaces that fade, chip and wear across a Mercedes. Use this hub as your starting point and step into each category for the full fitment list and the finer details that apply to your car.
