Intended Use and Fitment for Mercedes SLK R172

The presented trunk lid has been designed specifically for the Mercedes SLK R172 model, taking into account the distinctive rear-end construction of the roadster. The part is prepared for installation in the rear section of the vehicle, which allows for maintaining correct body geometry, panel gaps, and proper trunk lid closure.

Thanks to the use of original body construction, the lid works with factory mounting points, hinges, and other components of the rear of the vehicle. This facilitates service work and reduces the need for additional body modifications.

Selenite Grey Metallic – 992 Color and Aesthetic Qualities

The factory paint Selenite Grey Metallic – 992 is a popular, modern shade of grey used in Mercedes models, which effectively masks minor dirt and accentuates body lines. Using the original color can, in many cases, reduce or completely eliminate the need for repainting, thus shortening repair time and lowering costs.

The metallic paint finish ensures visual consistency with other body elements, and the appropriate surface structure facilitates potential polishing and matching to the existing condition of the vehicle's paintwork.

Technical Characteristics and Installation

The trunk lid belongs to a group of body elements crucial for the rigidity of the rear of the vehicle and the proper functioning of the lock and seals. The construction is prepared for installation in the rear body zone, maintaining factory mounting points and geometry. The appropriately selected mass of the part contributes to the correct operation of the gas struts, hinges, and the opening and closing mechanism.

During installation, it is recommended to:

• check the condition of hinges and mounting elements on the vehicle,
• verify the alignment of gaps between the lid and the fenders and rear bumper,
• precisely adjust the position of the lock and latch,
• check the fit of the seals and the clarity of water drainage channels.
