Purpose and fitment

The presented Door Handle Mercedes W169 W245 Front Right O/S Grab Horizon Blue Metallic is structurally prepared for operation in the factory mounting location in the front door. Its placement on the passenger side allows for a direct replacement of the damaged component without the need for modifications to the bodywork or door structure.

Its original origin from the Door handles range for this body series promotes the maintenance of correct geometry, proper operating clearance, and correct interaction with the lock mechanism and internal linkages.

Color and paint finish

The handle is finished in Horizon Blue Metallic - 391, which allows for an aesthetic match to factory-painted bodies in this shade. The metallic coating gives the body a consistent, orderly appearance and reduces the need for additional painting during a standard component replacement.

For users who care about the visual consistency of the car, using a handle in the same paint code minimizes shade differences between the replaced part and the remaining body panels.

Performance characteristics and installation

As an item from the Door handles category, the product is responsible for the daily operation of opening and closing the door, transferring external forces to the lock mechanism. The construction is prepared to work with factory linkages and the lock cylinder intended for this generation of the body.

The used nature of the part means that the element comes from vehicle dismantling, which in practice allows for maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications while optimizing repair costs. In most cases, the handle replacement can be carried out within the standard scope of workshop work, without interfering with the electrical installation beyond the scope provided by the manufacturer for a given equipment variant.

Application in Mercedes vehicles

The handle is intended for Mercedes A-Class and B-Class models of the appropriate body generation, where the design of the front door on the right side provides for the installation of this type of external handle. Thanks to the preservation of factory geometry and mounting points, it is possible to restore the original functionality of the door after a collision, mechanical damage, or operational wear of the external component.
