Purpose and body fitment

The offered door is designed as a rear, right-side body element, ensuring proper alignment with the rocker panel, pillar, and rear fender. Thanks to a design consistent with Mercedes factory standards, key mounting points, character lines, and edge shapes are preserved, facilitating installation and subsequent adjustment of panel gaps.

The component from the Doors and door panels category is a vital structural element of the vehicle's side, influencing body rigidity, passenger safety, and user comfort (proper closing, sealing, and interior acoustics).

Tropical Black Metallic - 160 color and paint aspects

The factory color Tropical Black Metallic - 160 is a dark, metallic shade, often used in Mercedes compact class models, providing a subdued, elegant look. Using the original color across the entire door surface makes it easier to match the vehicle's existing paint, limiting the scope of any necessary paint work to blending adjacent elements.

For body and paint shops, this means the possibility of reducing repair time and achieving better consistency in the final result, especially in the case of post-accident repairs where color and metallic structure matching are important.

Performance and installation parameters

The rear right door for the Mercedes W169 has been designed to maintain appropriate structural rigidity and compatibility with factory hinge, lock, and seal mounting points. The properly selected component weight affects the correct operation of the hinges and the comfort of opening and closing, which is significant for daily vehicle use.

Placement on the vehicle on the rear right side allows for direct replacement of the damaged element without the need for body structure modifications. For service centers, this means a predictable installation process, and for the user – the ability to restore the original functionality and appearance of the vehicle.

Characteristics of the used part

As a used element, the door retains the original manufacturer's specifications, which is crucial for maintaining factory body parameters. Choosing such a component allows for optimizing repair costs while maintaining compliance with the vehicle's design, which is particularly important in the case of post-accident or restoration repairs.

For conscious users and workshops specializing in the Mercedes brand, using original aftermarket doors represents a reasonable compromise between quality and budget, while maintaining a high level of fitment and functionality.
