Purpose and fitment

The described panel is dedicated to the Mercedes B-Class W245 generation models and is mounted in the rear right part of the body, in the area of the C-pillar and trunk lining. Thanks to its design, which complies with factory mounting points, it ensures a secure fit and proper alignment with adjacent upholstery elements and trunk opening seals.

The component belongs to the Window seals and moldings group, which highlights its role in properly guiding seal edges and masking the joints between the glass, bodywork, and vehicle interior.

Design characteristics

The C-pillar trunk panel has been designed as a rigid, custom-fit cover that integrates with the side lining of the cargo space. The grey finish allows for harmonious integration into typical Mercedes W245 interior configurations, maintaining color consistency with other upholstery elements.

The arrangement of clips and guides is consistent with the manufacturer's factory standard, which facilitates installation and removal during service work, e.g., when accessing wiring running within the C-pillar or when replacing glass and seals.

Application in the area of seals and moldings

As an element from the Window seals and moldings group, the panel works with the rear window and side window seals in the trunk area, stabilizing their position and masking the edges. A properly installed panel reduces the risk of unwanted play, rattles, and resonances in the rear part of the body, which is important for acoustic comfort inside the vehicle.

The grey surface finish is practical for daily use – it effectively masks typical operational dirt while allowing for easy cleaning with standard plastic upholstery care products.

Condition and benefits of choosing an original part

The item comes from a used vehicle, which means it is a factory-origin part that retains the original geometry and fitment intended by the manufacturer. In practice, this translates into:

• secure fitment with the existing trunk lining and C-pillar,
• compatibility with factory mounting points,
• color and material consistency with other interior elements.

Choosing an original C-pillar panel is particularly beneficial for post-accident repairs, replacing damaged trunk linings, or restoring the interior to a factory-like condition.
