Purpose and Interior Fit

The rubber tray mat has been developed as a center console accessory for the rear of the cabin, designed for a precise fit with the interior geometry of the Mercedes C209/W209 series. This ensures that once installed, it creates a cohesive working surface without gaps or curling edges. The design is intended for typical passenger car operating conditions, providing stable support for small accessories carried by rear-seat passengers.

Construction and Usability Features

The item is made from flexible rubber material, which effectively dampens vibrations and reduces noise generated by items moving on the console surface. The surface texture makes it easy to keep tidy and reduces the slipping of keys, phones, or other small items. Using such a tray:

• protects the original center console finish from wear and tear and point loads,
• facilitates quick cleaning – the mat can be removed and washed outside the vehicle,
• improves the ergonomics of using the storage space in the rear of the interior.

Vehicle Placement and Practical Function

The product is designed for installation in the rear of the vehicle, in the center console area between the seats. This placement provides rear passengers with an organized, stable space for small items, preventing them from sliding onto the floor. The Rubber Center Console Tray Mat therefore serves a protective and organizational role, enhancing travel comfort and interior aesthetics.

Used Product Characteristics

The offered item comes from the Dashboard category and is part of the original Mercedes interior equipment. As a used product, it retains its factory geometry and mounting compatibility, making it easy to reuse in the vehicle. This solution allows you to restore the full functionality of the rear center console without needing to resort to aftermarket replacements with uncertain fit.

Selection Support and Additional Information

When selecting this rubber tray, it's worth paying attention to compatibility with the specific body version and interior configuration to ensure a perfect fit with the center console. If needed, manufacturer markings such as the SKU identifier, OEM part number, or available interchange numbers can be helpful in verifying compatibility with a particular vehicle. Information about the manufacturer, such as the brand, and the condition of the item, further helps in assessing the nature of the offered component, and the placement on vehicle parameter specifies its location in the car.
