Purpose and fitment

The presented component is designed as a rear left door for the Mercedes W169 series model. Its placement in the rear part of the body on the driver's side ensures proper alignment with the sills, pillars, and wheel arch lines, which facilitates maintaining the factory body geometry. Thanks to the use of an original design, compatibility with factory hinges, locks, windows, and door equipment installation is maintained.

Steppe Brown Metallic - 490 color and aesthetic value

The door is finished in Steppe Brown Metallic - 490, characteristic of selected Mercedes W169 paint configurations. The metallic paint coating allows for consistent matching with the existing body paint, limiting the scope of paintwork to potential minor touch-ups. This is a practical solution for post-accident repairs when maintaining a uniform shade and paint structure across the entire side of the vehicle is a priority.

Technical characteristics and construction

The door belongs to the Doors and door panels group, meaning it is a key structural element of the side body. The construction intended for installation in the rear left zone of the vehicle ensures adequate rigidity, proper window operation, and correct seal adhesion. The appropriately selected weight of the component promotes proper closing and hinge operation, and also contributes to acoustic comfort inside the cabin.

Condition, application, and benefits of installation

The item is in used condition, making it a reasonable choice for maintenance and post-accident repairs when the priority is combining quality with cost control. Replacing the complete rear left door allows you to:

• restore the correct geometry of the side body after mechanical damage,
• limit the scope of bodywork to a minimum,
• preserve the factory character of the vehicle thanks to the original Mercedes design.

For body shops and individual users, this means a faster repair process and a lower risk of issues with fitting the component to the body.

Practical tips for selecting body parts

Before installation, it is worth verifying the compatibility of the door with the specific body version and vehicle equipment, especially regarding equipment mounting, window types, and seals. It is helpful to compare the shape of the pressings, window lines, and mounting points for hinges and locks with the factory-installed component. This makes the replacement process smoother and reduces the risk of needing additional modifications.
