Purpose and fitment

The boot lid has been designed specifically for the rear body section of the SLK R170 model, maintaining the original geometry, pressings, and mounting points. This ensures that after installation, it is possible to correctly set the gaps, ensure proper closing, and maintain compatibility with the factory hinges, lock, and luggage compartment sealing.

The component belongs to the Boot lids and tailgates group, which means it is structurally prepared to withstand the loads resulting from daily use – opening, closing, and the operation of the lock mechanism and actuators.

Color and finish Linarite Blue Metallic - 352

The factory Linarite Blue Metallic - 352 color is a distinctive metallic shade of blue used in Mercedes models, which highlights the body lines and blends well with chrome and dark trim elements. The use of original metallic paint makes it easier to visually match the remaining body panels, limiting the scope of any potential paintwork to corrections and blending.

The metallic coating provides an aesthetic shine and appropriate color depth, which is particularly important for elements as visible as the boot lid in a compact roadster.

Technical and structural characteristics

The boot lid is intended for installation in the rear zone of the vehicle, taking into account factory mounting and routing points. The construction is prepared to work with original equipment components, such as hinges, actuators, the lock, or internal lining, which facilitates assembly and service.

The element has a specific weight, adapted to the operation of the stock actuators and opening mechanism, ensuring that after proper installation, the factory operating parameters of the lid are maintained – both in terms of closing force and ease of use.

Condition and use in body repairs

The lid is offered as a used part, which allows for an economical repair of the rear body section while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. This type of component is particularly suitable for post-accident repairs, correcting mechanical damage, or replacing a lid due to corrosion or previous bodywork repairs.

Using an original Mercedes component helps maintain the proper rigidity of the body in the rear of the vehicle and preserve the factory body lines, which is important for both aesthetic and functional reasons.

Technical support and part selection

When selecting body components, it is worth paying attention to the compatibility of the model version, color scheme, and the scope of any necessary body and paint work. In case of doubts regarding installation or integration with other body system components, specialized guides and technical materials may be helpful, similar to selecting elements for other vehicle systems, e.g., the braking system – described in more detail in the article Second-hand braking system: how to safely choose discs, calipers, and ABS?.
