Purpose and vehicle fitment

The presented backrest is designed as a component for the rear left section of the bench in the Mercedes GL X164 generation. The construction is consistent with the factory mounting geometry, which facilitates installation in place of the original backrest and allows for maintaining the correct seat line and passenger space ergonomics.

The element is dedicated to installation in the rear zone of the cabin, thereby restoring passenger comfort in the second row and full utility of the bench, without the need for interfering with the body structure or modifying the upholstery.

Material and finish

The backrest is made of black leather upholstery, which ensures consistency with the factory interior finish and ease of maintenance. The leather withstands intensive use well, and its surface is resistant to typical operational loads, such as frequent entry and exit of passengers.

The black color scheme promotes aesthetic matching to most Mercedes GL X164 interior configurations, while emphasizing the comfortable and understated character of the cabin. The use of leather also improves the perceived quality of the interior compared to fabric upholstery.

Function in the Seats and benches system

The rear bench backrest plays a key role in the seating system – it is responsible for stable back support for passengers, cooperation with the seat cushion, and folding mechanisms. Replacing a worn or damaged element with an original backrest allows you to:

• restore the correct seat geometry in the rear left section of the bench,
• maintain the safety and comfort of passengers in the second row,
• keep a uniform look of the upholstery throughout the entire rear part of the interior.

Thanks to the use of a factory solution from the Seats and benches group, you avoid problems with shape matching, stitch lines, or upholstery shade, which is important both aesthetically and functionally.

Characteristics of the used product

The backrest comes from the secondary market, which allows for significantly lowering the cost of restoring full interior functionality compared to purchasing a new element. The used component retains the original construction and material, while simultaneously being a reasonable choice for post-accident repairs, replacement after mechanical damage, or gradual cabin refurbishment.

Choosing an original, used backrest is particularly beneficial when you want to maintain the factory character of the Mercedes, without compromises in terms of fitment and compatibility with other bench elements.
