Purpose and body fitment

The offered door is dedicated to the rear right side of the Long wheelbase body, which is crucial for proper alignment with the sill, pillars, and roofline. The panel's construction is consistent with the factory body geometry, ensuring that the continuity of body lines, mounting gaps, and the correct operation of the lock and hinges are maintained after proper installation.

The component comes from a Mercedes vehicle, which ensures compatibility with factory mounting points, internal structure, and preparation for original seals, fittings, and door hardware. This is a particularly beneficial solution for accident repairs, where restoring the original lateral body rigidity is key.

Technical characteristics and color

The door belongs to the Doors and door panels group, which are components responsible for protecting the side of the body, proper window operation, and interaction with the vehicle's locking system. The panel's construction is prepared for the installation of factory reinforcements, window guides, wiring harnesses, and other interior equipment components.

The paint finish in the shade of Obsidian Black Metallic - 197 allows for an aesthetic match to a body in the same color, limiting the scope of any necessary paint work. The metallic coating is consistent with the factory color specification, which facilitates the selection of paint materials for corrections or spot repairs.

Condition of the component and benefits of using a used part

The door is offered as a used body component, which in practice means real cost savings while maintaining the original construction and mounting compatibility. This type of solution is particularly beneficial for repairs where the priority is to restore correct geometry and functionality, rather than a full reconstruction using new panels.

Using an original door from dismantling allows for reducing the risk of fitment problems, which are typical for aftermarket replacements with simplified geometry. The factory internal structure is preserved, which promotes proper interaction with seals, the lock, hinges, and upholstery elements.

Part identification and mounting compatibility

The component has a factory OEM part number and assigned interchangeable numbers, which facilitates verification of compatibility with a specific equipment version and vehicle year. Thanks to this, you can precisely match the door to your S-Class model, minimizing the risk of dimensional incompatibility or differences in mountings.

The mounting position is clearly defined as rear – right, which eliminates doubts when selecting the component for the specific side of the vehicle. Additionally, the product is marked with an internal SKU identifier, facilitating order processing and potential future matching of other body components.

Use in body repairs and bodywork expansion

The rear right door for the Long version will work well both for standard accident repairs and for more extensive bodywork involving the replacement of several side panels. The stable construction of the original component supports the maintenance of proper lateral rigidity, which is important for driving comfort, seal performance, and interior acoustics.

If you are planning a comprehensive repair or upgrade of the side body area in your Mercedes and need other components from the same group, such as outer skins, inner panels, or door frames, check the available parts in the Mercedes Doors and door panels category.
