Purpose and fitment

This handle has been designed specifically for the W169 series body, taking into account the geometry of the rear right door. This ensures a proper fit to the bodywork contours, factory mounting holes, and the door opening mechanism, which minimizes the need for additional modifications during installation.

The placement on the rear right side of the vehicle allows for precise identification of the part when planning post-accident repairs or routine maintenance. As a result, the handle can be used both for local door repairs and for more extensive bodywork and paint jobs.

Color and paint finish

The handle is finished in Kometgrau Comet Grey Metallic - 748, which corresponds to the popular metallic grey shade used in models of this series. The metallic structure of the paint ensures consistency with the factory body finish, and the accurately matched shade facilitates integration with other body components without visible tonal differences.

Such a finish is particularly beneficial for repairs where maintaining a uniform vehicle aesthetic is desired, without the need to repaint the entire component, provided the condition of the coating meets the user's expectations.

Functional characteristics of the component

As an item from the Door handles category, the product is responsible for the correct and convenient opening and closing of the rear passenger-side door. The design is adapted to the standard lock mechanism and door linkage system, allowing for the preservation of factory operating ergonomics.

The used nature of the part makes it a cost-effective solution while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. For many users, this represents a reasonable compromise between quality and budget, especially when repairing bodywork after minor collisions or parking damage.

Benefits of using an original handle

Using an original handle in a color matching the vehicle's factory paint reduces the risk of fitment issues and improves the visual consistency of the body. In practice, this means:

• maintaining the factory line and door geometry,
• proper cooperation with the existing lock mechanism,
• aesthetic matching to the metallic grey body paint.
