Purpose and fitment

The presented item is designed as a complete front right door for the Mercedes W169 series model. Its placement on the vehicle covers the front axle on the passenger side, which enables precise replacement of the damaged door module without interfering with other body zones. Thanks to the factory geometry, the correct body lines, mounting gaps, and compatibility with factory mounting points are maintained.

Color and paint finish

The door is finished in the Steppe Brown Metallic - 490 shade, characteristic of selected Mercedes color configurations. The metallic paint coating ensures visual consistency with the originally painted body, which limits the scope of additional paint work after installation. For body and paint shops, this means the possibility of faster vehicle restoration while maintaining a high-quality final result.

Technical and structural characteristics

The door belongs to the Doors and door panels group, meaning it is an integral part of the vehicle's side structure, responsible for both passenger protection and the proper operation of windows and seals. The construction is adapted to work with factory hinges, locks, wiring harnesses, and other components mounted within the door area. The appropriately selected weight of the component promotes proper hinge operation and does not cause excessive loads in the mounting zone.

Condition and service application

The item comes from a used vehicle, making it a practical choice for post-accident repairs, parking damage corrections, or replacing corroded panels. Compared to new aftermarket replacements, the used OEM component allows for maintaining the original material and structural characteristics, which is crucial for precise alignment with the fender, rocker panel, and pillar. This solution is particularly beneficial for workshops specializing in Mercedes vehicle repairs and for users who care about maintaining the factory character of the car.

Benefits of using original Mercedes doors

Using the original front right door in Steppe Brown Metallic - 490 allows for reduced repair time, minimizes the scope of filling and fitting, and maintains the correct side line of the body. For the user, this means a more predictable final result, and for the workshop – more efficient order fulfillment and a lower risk of needing re-corrections.
