Technical characteristics and intended use
The interior mirror is designed to be mounted in the rear of the cabin, consistent with the factory design of the Mercedes W176, C117, and X156 models. This maintains the correct position relative to the windshield, ensuring a predictable field of view and compliance with the vehicle manufacturer's specifications.
The black color allows the mirror to aesthetically blend into most interior configurations without disrupting the original dashboard and headliner design. This is especially important for accident repairs and restoring a car to near-factory condition.
Construction, assembly and compatibility
As a rearview mirror, the product is designed to be mounted in place of the factory windshield mount or at a dedicated mounting point. The design, designed for specific Mercedes bodies, reduces the need for modifications and simplifies service work.
In practice, this means that when correctly selected for the body model and year, the mirror can be installed in a plug-and-play manner, while maintaining appropriate mounting stiffness and stability while driving.
Used condition - practical benefits
This item comes from the second-hand market, offering a favorable price-to-quality ratio while maintaining the original manufacturer's specifications. Used condition means the item may show signs of wear, but remains functional and suitable for continued use after proper installation.
For workshops and individual users, this is a sensible solution in situations where the priority is to restore the vehicle's full functionality while reducing repair costs, without having to resort to substitutes of uncertain origin.
Application in Mercedes W176, C117, X156 models
