Purpose and Body Fitment

The presented hinge is dedicated to the Mercedes CLS W219 model and is installed on the front right door. Its placement on the passenger side of the vehicle allows for maintaining the correct door pivot axis, which translates to proper closing, no sagging of the door leaf, and stable operation of the lock and seals.

The part belongs to the Doors and Door Panels group, ensuring it is structurally compatible with factory mounting points in the pillar and door, without the need for modifications or adaptations.

Color and Paint Aspect

The hinge is prepared for use with doors in the color Obsidian Black Metallic - 197. Using a part with the same paint code helps to limit the scope of painting work around the hinge area and maintain visual consistency of the door edge and pillar, which is particularly important for accident repairs and restorations.

For body and paint shops, this means easier matching of the part to the existing paint finish and a lower risk of shade differences in the critical area of the front right side of the body.

Technical and Functional Characteristics

The upper hinge is responsible for:

• maintaining the correct position of the front right door relative to the fender and sill,
• stable guidance of the door leaf during opening and closing,
• reducing operational play in the door mounting area,
• proper distribution of loads onto the pillar and door panel structure.

The original design ensures compatibility with factory mounting bolts and correct working geometry throughout the entire door opening range. This allows for even gaps, proper seal fit, and reduced risk of slamming or rubbing edges against the body after correct installation.

Part Condition and Application in Repairs

The product is offered as a used body part, which is a cost-effective solution for operational and accident repairs where maintaining the original structure with a reasonable budget is a priority. This type of hinge is suitable for both replacing a worn mechanism and for rebuilding the front right side of the vehicle after mechanical damage.

Choosing an original hinge from a dismantled vehicle allows for maintaining the factory door operating parameters while reducing costs compared to new body components.
