Purpose and fitment

The presented component is dedicated to Mercedes A-Class W169 and B-Class W245 models and is installed in the front door area on the right side of the vehicle. The placement on the vehicle is factory-defined, ensuring that the cap maintains the correct geometry relative to the handle, lock, and door panel. Proper fitment translates into stable seating, no play, and correct interaction with the other components of the opening mechanism.

Color and finish

The element is finished in the original Comet Grey Metallic – 748 color, characteristic of many Mercedes paint configurations. The metallic coating ensures consistency with the factory body paint, which reduces the need for additional painting when replacing a damaged cap. This allows for a quick restoration of the door's aesthetics, maintaining a uniform shade and gloss across the entire side panel.

Technical and functional characteristics

As an item in the Door handles category, the lock cap serves both protective and aesthetic functions. It protects the sensitive lock area from direct exposure to external factors such as moisture, dirt, or minor mechanical damage, while visually completing the line of the handle. The design is prepared for installation at factory mounting points, which facilitates service and shortens repair time.

Its original Mercedes origin helps maintain the correct dimensional tolerances and compatibility with factory locks and handles used in the given model year and equipment version. The product has an assigned OEM part number and interchangeable numbers, which facilitates verification of compatibility with a specific vehicle configuration in the manufacturer's catalogs or service systems.

Condition and service application

The component comes from the secondary market, which allows for an economical repair while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. This type of solution is particularly beneficial for local damage – cracks, paint chips, or missing fragments of the lock cover – when there is no need to replace the entire door handle. Replacing the cap itself is less invasive while restoring full functionality and a consistent look to the door.

Selection support and repair expansion
