Purpose and interior fitment

The backrest has been designed specifically for the rear seat on the left side in Mercedes C117 family models, ensuring it retains the factory geometry and seat ergonomics. The construction, based on the manufacturer's original design, allows for precise fitting with the seat cushion, side bolsters, and other upholstery elements, which translates into stable mounting and predictable behavior while driving.

The black finish facilitates integration with most interior configurations, and the combination of fabric with Artico imitation leather provides an aesthetic, understated look that blends well with both standard versions and higher trim levels.

Material and performance characteristics

The combination of fabric and Artico imitation leather is a solution frequently used in modern Mercedes interiors, blending practicality with attractive styling. The fabric provides a pleasant-to-the-touch, less slippery support area, while the imitation leather surfaces are easier to clean on a regular basis and resistant to typical operational dirt.

This combination of materials is well-suited for daily use: the backrest performs well in both family and fleet vehicles, where wear resistance and ease of maintaining the upholstery in good visual condition are key.

Condition, origin, and benefits of choosing a used part

The offered item comes from the Seats and benches group and is a used part, which allows for a significant reduction in repair or interior refreshment costs compared to purchasing a new component. At the same time, you retain the original manufacturer's specification, which is important for visual consistency, ergonomics, and the vehicle's future resale value.

Choosing an original, used rear backrest for a Mercedes is also a beneficial solution in terms of fitment – the element has already been verified in real-world operating conditions, and its construction is compatible with factory mounting points and the body line.

Installation and technical aspects

The rear left backrest is intended for installation in the rear of the cabin, on the driver's side (looking in the direction of travel). Thanks to the factory design, it is possible to use the original mounting points, which facilitates service work and reduces the risk of improper fitment. During replacement, it is recommended to:

• check the condition of the hinges and backrest folding mechanisms,
• verify the mounting points in the bodywork before installation,
• exercise caution when transferring plastic and upholstery elements from the previous backrest, if required.

This approach allows for achieving an effect close to the factory standard, while maintaining safe and stable support for rear seat passengers.

Interior expansion and tuning

The rear left backrest in black fabric and Artico imitation leather can also be an element of a broader interior refreshment or tuning project for your Mercedes, especially when combining the replacement of individual upholstery elements with seat or steering wheel upgrades.
