Purpose and fitment

This rear ashtray has been designed specifically for Mercedes C-Class W203 and CLK C209 models, ensuring a precise fit to the factory mounting points and the shape of the center tunnel or rear panel. Its placement in the rear of the vehicle allows for convenient use by rear-seat passengers without compromising the ergonomics of the front cockpit.

The original design from the Trims, decorative strips and decorations group guarantees stylistic consistency with other interior finish elements, which is particularly important for maintaining the factory character of the cabin.

Appearance and interior integration

The black color of the housing allows for a neutral and professional integration of the ashtray into most interior configurations used in Mercedes C and CLK models. This component:

• maintains a uniform stylistic line for the rear part of the console or armrest,
• does not introduce contrasts that disrupt the factory design,
• helps maintain an orderly appearance in the passenger zone.

As a result, the ashtray can be used both as a replacement part during interior repairs and for refreshing the cabin when the existing component is worn or damaged.

Functionality in the rear passenger area

Its location in the rear of the vehicle increases the comfort of the car for second-row passengers. The rear ashtray:

• organizes the space, reducing the risk of soiling upholstery and plastics,
• allows for maintaining cleanliness in the cabin while providing a designated smoking area,
• serves as an integral piece of equipment that does not require additional adapters or structural modifications.

For owners who care about the condition of their interior, it is important that using an original component avoids fitment issues typical of universal replacements.

Characteristics of the used component

The ashtray comes from the secondary market, meaning it is a used part that retains the functionality intended by the manufacturer. This type of component is a good choice for interior servicing when the priority is maintaining the original vehicle specification on a reasonable budget. A used element allows for a technically correct replacement without the need to interfere with the structure of the panels or the center tunnel.

Application in service and interior restoration

The rear ashtray for Mercedes C and CLK will prove particularly useful in situations where:

• the existing element is mechanically damaged or does not close properly,
• the vehicle interior is undergoing partial restoration and it is necessary to restore the completeness of the equipment,
• it is important to maintain the original look of the cabin without using universal solutions.

Thanks to the preservation of factory geometry and mounting methods, the replacement can be carried out in a predictable manner for an experienced mechanic or automotive upholsterer.
