Purpose and fitment

The presented rear right door has been designed specifically for the Mercedes W169 body, maintaining factory hinge mounting points, lock mechanisms, and seals. As a result, the component retains the correct geometry, which facilitates gap adjustment, proper closing, and integration with the vehicle's electrical system and interior upholstery.

Its placement on the vehicle in the rear right zone makes this part crucial for maintaining the rigidity of the side structure, protecting rear-seat passengers, and ensuring the correct alignment of the body lines. The original door construction ensures compatibility with factory equipment such as the window, lock, handle, or decorative trim.

Color and paint layer

The door is in the Reef Silver Metallic - 783 color, which allows for a reduction in the scope of paint work when repairing a vehicle in the same shade. The metallic paint coating complies with the manufacturer's factory specifications, making it easier to match the shade when blending adjacent panels.

For body and paint shops, this means time savings in surface preparation and the ability to maintain visual consistency across the entire side of the vehicle. In many cases, a local paint refresh or correction may be sufficient instead of full repainting of the entire component.

Characteristics of the used component

The door comes from a used vehicle, which in practice means these are original parts from dismantling that retain their factory construction and mounting parameters. Such components are particularly valued in professional service centers because they allow for compliance with the manufacturer's technical documentation and minimize the risk of fitment issues.

Choosing a used body component is often a cost-effective solution while maintaining a high level of quality. The original door ensures proper fitment with the fender, rocker panel, and pillar, which translates into correct seal operation, reduced cabin noise, and proper water drainage from the door opening area.

Application in body repairs

The rear right door for the Mercedes W169 is suitable for both post-accident repairs and replacing components due to corrosion or wear and tear. Thanks to the factory construction, it is possible to:

• restore the original side body line without interfering with the load-bearing structure,
• maintain the correct position of the lock and striker relative to the pillar,
• ensure proper window operation and compatibility with seals,
• facilitate easier preparation for painting thanks to the existing base layer.

For the vehicle owner, this means a more predictable final repair result and a reduced risk of issues with door closing or leaks after rain.
