Purpose and fitment

The presented component is designed as a rear right door for the Mercedes W169 body, maintaining factory geometry and mounting points. Proper positioning on the vehicle ensures correct alignment with the fender, rocker panel, pillar, and seals, which translates into the proper operation of the lock, hinges, and windows.

Thanks to a design consistent with the manufacturer's specifications, the door serves as a solid base for transferring existing components, such as the lock, wiring harness, window, or upholstery, without the need for structural body modifications.

Color and exterior finish

The paint coating in the Steppe Brown Metallic - 490 shade is a characteristic metallic brown used in Mercedes W169 models. This color selection facilitates matching the component to the existing body finish, limiting the scope of potential paint work and allowing for the preservation of the vehicle's consistent aesthetics.

The metallic structure of the paint promotes even light distribution across the door surface, which improves the visual continuity of the side line and highlights the characteristic body styling of this generation.

Technical specifications and installation

The door belongs to the Doors and door panels group, meaning it is a full-fledged structural component of the side body, not just a skin. The design is intended for use with factory hinges, locks, and seals, which facilitates installation in an independent service center or a body and paint shop.

The component has a specific weight, typical for complete doors of this class, which is important for vehicle balance, hinge operation, and proper closing. Thanks to this, after correct installation, it is possible to maintain factory door operating parameters and user comfort.

Condition and service application

The door is a used component, making it an attractive solution for post-accident repairs, correcting parking damage, or replacing corroded panels. In many cases, using an original, used component allows for reduced repair time and costs compared to repairing extensive body damage.

This solution is particularly beneficial when the priority is to maintain compliance with the factory body structure while keeping the repair budget reasonable.

Integration with other body components

As a part of the side body structure, the rear right door affects the line of the rocker panels, pillars, and adjacent panels. A correctly selected and installed component helps restore factory panel gaps, which is significant for both visual and functional reasons (sealing, acoustics, aerodynamics).
