Purpose and body fitment

The offered trunk lid is dedicated to the rear body section of the Mercedes-Benz B-Class W245 generation in the Touring version. The component's design is compatible with factory mounting points, which facilitates installation and allows for maintaining proper gaps between body panels. As a result, after replacement, it is possible to achieve stable closing, proper lock operation, and correct seal adhesion.

Color and Horizon Blue aesthetics

The trunk lid is finished in Horizon Blue paint, marked with code 391, characteristic of the Mercedes color palette. The metallic structure of the coating gives the body a subdued yet modern character, which harmonizes well with both light and dark styling accents. For many users, this means the possibility of reducing or completely skipping a full paint job, which shortens repair time and lowers costs while maintaining a consistent look for the rear of the vehicle.

Functional role of the rear trunk lid

The rear trunk lid in the Mercedes B-Class W245 is responsible not only for closing the cargo space but also for:

• maintaining the rigidity of the rear body section,
• proper routing of seal lines and rainwater drainage,
• safe access to the cargo area,
• maintaining the aerodynamics of the vehicle's rear zone.

Replacing a damaged or corroded trunk lid with an original component allows for the restoration of these functions and reduces the risk of leaks, noise, or closing issues.

Characteristics of the original used part

An original trunk lid from disassembly is a solution that combines compliance with factory specifications with a favorable price-to-quality ratio. The element retains the correct geometry and is prepared for further paint processing or use after any necessary cosmetic work. This type of part is particularly valued in post-accident repairs, where precise fitment with fenders, the bumper, and rear lighting is crucial.
