Purpose and body fitment

The presented rear right door is dedicated to the Mercedes ML W163 model and serves as a structural element of the side body. Its placement on the vehicle in the rear right zone ensures compliance with factory body geometry, which facilitates gap alignment, proper window guidance, and correct door latch operation after installation.

The original door construction allows for the use of existing hinge, lock, and seal mounting points, reducing the need for additional modifications during body and paint work. As a result, this component is well-suited for both local accident repairs and comprehensive restoration of the side body section.

Tanzanite Blue Metallic color – benefits for repair

The door is finished in the Tanzanite Blue Metallic shade, identified by paint code 359, which allows for visual matching to vehicles in the same color. The metallic paint coating makes it easier for the painter to select the appropriate paint mix and structure, and in many cases, it allows for limiting the blending area to adjacent elements.

With proper surface preparation and control of the paint coating thickness, a consistent visual effect can be achieved with the remaining body panels, which is particularly important in premium class vehicles such as Mercedes. Maintaining the original color also helps preserve the vehicle's residual value after repair.

Characteristics of the used component

The door comes from the secondary market, meaning it is a used component that retains its factory construction and geometry. This type of component is a good solution for repairs where combining reasonable costs with maintaining the original body specification is key. A used panel allows for reducing the amount of filler and straightening work compared to heavily damaged elements undergoing regeneration.

Choosing original doors from dismantling also helps maintain the proper lateral stiffness of the body and compatibility with factory seals, windows, and fittings, which translates into acoustic comfort and proper water drainage from the door area.

Application in body and paint repairs

The element is suitable for body and paint shops performing accident repairs, replacement of corroded panels, and body reconstruction in Mercedes ML W163 vehicles. Thanks to the factory edge profile and stampings, it is possible to precisely align the door relative to the fender, rocker panel, and rear pillar, which facilitates achieving even gaps and proper closing.

Using original body panels reduces the risk of problems with fitting seals, window guides, or lock mechanisms, which in practice shortens assembly time and reduces the number of corrections after the initial vehicle assembly. This is a beneficial solution for both professional service centers and individual users carrying out repairs in specialized workshops.
