Intended use and fitment for Mercedes ML W163
The interior rearview mirror for the Mercedes-Benz M-Class ML W163 was designed specifically for this model, ensuring proper mounting, optimal geometry, and comfortable rearward visibility. Designed to Mercedes factory standards, the mirror integrates seamlessly with the dashboard, headliner, and other interior components.
The original rearview mirror design ensures the vehicle manufacturer's required parameters are maintained, including viewing angle and ergonomics. This solution is ideal for users who want to restore full cabin functionality after their existing mirror has been damaged or worn.
Colors and integration with the interior
The mirror's gray finish allows for aesthetic matching with the typical interior color schemes of the ML W163. The neutral, subdued shade facilitates integration with the upholstery, headliner, and pillars, ensuring the element doesn't visually stand out from the rest of the cockpit.
Choosing the right mirror color is important not only for aesthetics but also for functionality – it reduces reflections and distracting contrasts in the driver's field of vision. Gray facilitates the readability of the mirror image in various lighting conditions, both day and night.
Vehicle location and functionality
The element is designed for mounting in the rear of the driver's field of vision, inside the cabin, on the windshield, or in its immediate vicinity. This placement ensures:
- stable field of view of the road behind the vehicle,
- easy access to adjust the tilt angle,
- ergonomic position in relation to the driver's seat and steering wheel.
By maintaining the factory geometry, the mirror supports safe maneuvering, lane changes and monitoring the situation behind the vehicle, which is particularly important in the higher body of the M-class.
Technical condition and benefits of choosing a used mirror
The mirror offered is in used condition, allowing for a reasonable purchase price while maintaining the original manufacturer's specifications. In practice, this means:
- factory fit for mounting in Mercedes ML W163,
- maintaining the original structure and shape,
- consistent appearance with other interior elements with a similar degree of wear.
A used component is a good choice when the priority is to restore the full functionality of the vehicle while maintaining the original character of the cabin, without having to invest in a new component.

- secure fit to the factory mount and windshield geometry,
- stylistic consistency with other Mercedes interior elements,
