Construction and fitment to Mercedes

The holder has been designed specifically for the W169 series, which translates into factory-standard fitment with mounting points in the rear body section. The component's construction is adapted to:

• original mounting holes in the rear floor,
• the shape and height of the factory trunk floor,
• working with other rear interior components, such as covers or trim panels.

Such fitment facilitates installation and limits the need for additional modifications, which is particularly important for repairs performed in accordance with the manufacturer's technology.

Condition, service application, and benefits of installation

The item comes from dismantling and is offered as a used original Mercedes component, which allows for maintaining material and structural consistency of the rear body section. In practice, the installation of this holder is particularly recommended when:

• the factory floor mount has been mechanically damaged,
• material loss caused by corrosion has occurred,
• it is necessary to restore the completeness of the rear cargo zone after bodywork repairs.

Using an original holder helps maintain the proper rigidity of the rear body section and improves the comfort of using the cargo space by eliminating unwanted floor noise.

Practical installation tips

Due to its location in the rear of the vehicle, it is recommended that the installation of the holder be performed in accordance with the service procedures specific to the Mercedes W169. It is worth paying attention to:

• thorough cleaning and preparation of the mounting surface on the body,
