Purpose and fitment

The presented rear left door has been designed specifically for the Mercedes W169 body, taking into account factory hinge mounting points, locks, and seals. Its placement in the rear driver-side zone ensures full compatibility with the sill line, B-pillar, and C-pillar, which facilitates installation and subsequent gap adjustment.

The original body construction guarantees proper load distribution and maintains lateral rigidity, which is important for both ride comfort and the safety of passengers in the rear seat.

Color and paint layer

The door is finished in the factory Polar Silver Metallic shade, identified by paint code 761. The metallic paint coating provides a characteristic, subtle gloss and blends well with other body elements in this color, reducing the need for extensive painting of adjacent panels.

Selecting a component in the same shade often allows for limiting preparation work to local touch-ups, which shortens repair time and makes it easier to maintain a consistent aesthetic for the entire side of the vehicle.

Construction and performance parameters

The door belongs to the Doors and door panels group, meaning it is an integral part of the side bodywork, working in conjunction with body seals, the window, and the lock mechanism. The construction intended for installation in the rear left part of the vehicle ensures proper window operation, water and noise sealing, and stable closing.

The component has a specific weight that complies with factory specifications for this model, ensuring it does not negatively affect hinge operation, lock actuators, or vehicle balance. This is particularly important during long-term use, where overly heavy or non-factory parts can cause accelerated wear of the hardware.

Use in body repairs

The used rear left door in Polar Silver Metallic is a practical solution for post-accident repairs, correcting corrosion spots, or replacing a part after parking damage. They allow for:

• restoring the correct geometry of the side body section,
• reducing the scope of body filler and straightening work,
• maintaining consistent factory lines and edges,
• reducing the time required for paint preparation.

By using an original body component, you can effectively recreate the vehicle's factory appearance, which is important both for daily use and for the future resale of the car.

Integration with other Mercedes body components
