What All Should Be in The Trunk?

It depends on country and spec. If your tyres are RFT then the black shiny section on the left should be empty (it's for a jack and tyre slime). In the middle there is a cutout for your boot cover, it can go underneath diagonally.

My Australian 300 also came with a fold-out box, mesh strap divider/retainer, boot protector, breakdown warning triangle and 5 reflective jackets.

I wish that my USA version had all that!!

I’d favour a boot/floor cover, I do hope you’ve removed for pictures ?

The only thing I removed was the floor cover. My wife had a bunch of cupcakes for a party back there, and there was a small accident with them, was vacuuming out the entire vehicle, while I was at it, when I discovered this issue.

I assume I got most of these accessories as part of the "protect and care set" that's included with the GLC 300 in Aus.

You can see the reversible floor protector, the sill protector, the fold out crate and the stretchy net thing.

Not used to not having a spare tire there. I used that space to hold the trunk cover, the grocery net, and a few towels. For the trunk, I have Weathertech mat with bumper protector. Since the Weathertech mat can be pretty slippery, I put a cheap rug that fits perfectly in the trunk. I then have couple of collapsible plastic crates that I used to put grocery bags and take out food in so they spill out all over the trunk when transporting. The rug keeps the crates from sliding around. When it gets dirty, I toss it into the washing machine.

I got the plastic crate, stowage net, bottle of oil in a Mercedes canvas bag, first aid kit, small tool kit, locking nuts for the wheels, and the tyre inflate kit with the can of stuff. I think that was it.

Oh yeah, I forgot the first aid kit... I got that too.

With all that stuff it still feels empty without a spare wheel. More room for crap though !!

Totally. I can understand why some people need a spare but in over 20 years of driving I've had 3 flats, one still drivable to be repaired. For the 2 true flats, one of them I wasn't able to get the wheel off without a gas wrench from road service. So in over 20 years I've only had one flat I could fix myself... I'll take my chances with RFT and better boot space 🙂

Agreed

I put a 19” spare wheel in mine.....
It does bring a question to my head as I’ve not actually trail fitted,
With the spare fitted, there’s still rim for the junk,

Re the compressor, I have tried plugging in and it blew the fuse, so may be worth checking,

Spare wheel, jack, various tools, first aid kit, golfing umbrella, high vis jackets, blanket, wd40 can, ......... etc, all under floor, cant fit the plastic crate under so strapped to back of rear seat.

Is that the 2020 OEM spare tyre? You able to get us a pic of how it looks?

The plastic crate collapses. I got given the Mercedes Golf Umbrella and Picnic blanket which I also keep in mine

Thanks snrbrtsn. It doesn't take up as much room as I'd thought it would, nice work. I'm happy with the extra space underneath, but if someone needs a spare it's good to know it fits.

The first thing I bought was fitted a boot liner / bumper cover from these guys https://www.ukcustomcovers.com/boot-liners/mercedes-benz/mercedes-glc-2015-onwards they're slightly cheaper on their ebay site for some reason. Been in more than 2 years and still good condition. Had the same in my previous 2 Audis as well.

It does make getting into the under floor space a bit more fiddly but in my case I only keep stuff in there I use occasionally, might be more of an issue for others.

Same size as an Audi A8 by the looks of it -
