Purpose and Fitment

The offered trunk lid is a body part intended for installation at the rear of the car, in its factory position. The construction is based on the original manufacturer's design, which facilitates maintaining correct panel gaps, proper body lines, and compatibility with factory mounting points for hinges and hardware.

The lid is prepared as a replacement part for users seeking a component that complies with Mercedes' factory standards, eliminating the need for fitting aftermarket parts with uncertain geometry. This solution promotes efficient installation in professional body and paint shops.

Paint Finish and Color

The part features paint in the Diamond Silver Metallic - 988 shade, allowing for precise matching with vehicles of the same color code after appropriate paint preparation. The metallic finish ensures visual consistency with other body panels and also serves as a good base for potential repainting in a different color, if necessary.

The factory surface structure promotes even application of paint and clear coat during refurbishment, which is crucial for repairs requiring high-quality visual finishing.

Functional and Installation Parameters

The trunk lid belongs to the group of structural body components that affect the sealing of the luggage compartment and the proper closing of the lock. The appropriately selected weight of the part contributes to the correct operation of hinges and gas struts, as well as maintaining user comfort during daily opening and closing of the lid.

Its original origin from the Mercedes production line means it retains the proper panel rigidity, which facilitates adjusting its position relative to the fenders, bumper, and taillights. This allows for achieving even gaps and stable seating of seals and trim elements.

Characteristics of a Used Product

The lid comes from a used vehicle, which is a common solution in professional body repairs where compliance with the factory structure is paramount. Such parts are often chosen by workshops because they reduce the scope of straightening and fitting work while preserving the original body lines.

The product is suitable for users who expect a part with preserved structural and mounting function, serving as a solid base for further paint and finishing work according to the specific vehicle's requirements.
