Purpose and function of the moulding

The moulding is designed for installation on the rear, left part of the body, on the door edge. It serves both a decorative and protective function – it helps to reduce minor paint damage in the side area and visually organizes the line of the doors, sills, and fenders. Thanks to the factory profile, the fitment to the door panel is precise, which facilitates installation and ensures a stable seating of the component.

Color and visual fitment

The Obsidian Black Metallic - 197 finish is characteristic of many premium Mercedes paint configurations. The metallic structure of the coating harmonizes well with the factory body paint, minimizing shade differences after replacing the part. This solution is particularly beneficial for post-accident repairs or localized renovation of the side bodywork, where visual consistency of the entire side of the vehicle is important.

Technical characteristics and installation

The moulding belongs to the Protective and decorative mouldings group, which means it has been developed for use in external operating conditions – at the interface between the door and the environment. Its placement on the vehicle in the rear, left part of the body requires maintaining the correct orientation of the element during installation so that the moulding line is parallel to the door creases and other mouldings on the vehicle. As an original Mercedes component, the moulding is prepared to work with the factory mounting points in the door. In practice, this translates into:

• secure fitment with the door edge,
• stable position maintenance during operation,
• reduction of stress at the point of contact with the paint.

Condition of the item and service application

The product is offered as a used body component, which makes it an attractive solution for service repairs where a reasonable cost is important while maintaining the original manufacturer's specifications. This type of moulding works well both when replacing a damaged part after a collision and when filling gaps after disassembly or previous body and paint repairs.

Support in selecting original parts

To precisely match the moulding to a specific body version, it is worth using vehicle data and the VIN number. This allows you to avoid mistakes when selecting external elements, especially in the case of premium cars.
