Purpose and fitment

The presented handle has been designed specifically for the rear right side of the Mercedes A-Class W169 generation body. This ensures a proper fit with factory mounting holes, correct handle geometry, and compatibility with the standard door opening mechanism. Using an original handle from the same model series reduces the risk of installation issues and ensures predictable performance in daily use.

Color and paint finish

The component is finished in the factory color Atoll Blue Metallic – 375, characteristic of selected Mercedes A-Class W169 configurations. The metallic paint coating ensures consistency with the body line, and the correct shade matching allows you to avoid the costly painting of the entire component during standard repairs. This is a particularly beneficial solution for localized door damage, where maintaining the original appearance of the vehicle is desired.

Functional characteristics

As part of the Door handles group, the product is responsible for the ergonomic and trouble-free opening of the rear passenger door on the right side. The design provided by the vehicle manufacturer ensures:

• a secure grip when opening and closing the door,
• proper force transfer to the lock mechanism,
• stable seating in the door panel without unwanted play.

By maintaining the original geometry, the handle works with factory seals and the body line, which affects both aesthetics and daily comfort.

Condition and benefits of using a used part

The offered handle is a used part, which in practice means a favorable compromise between repair costs and maintaining original build quality. Choosing an original, used body component allows you to:

• maintain factory fitment with doors and moldings,
• preserve color consistency with other elements in the same shade,
• reduce repair costs compared to purchasing a new part and full painting.

This solution is particularly recommended for maintenance repairs and restoring the vehicle to working order after minor collisions.
