Purpose and fitment

The offered boot lid is dedicated to the rear body section of the Mercedes-Benz A-Class W169 model. Its placement at the rear of the vehicle means the component is responsible for both closing the luggage compartment and ensuring the correct alignment of the body lines and the sealing of the rear body section.

As a part from the Hoods group, this component is an essential element of the external body structure, influencing passive safety, aerodynamics, and the convenience of using the trunk.

Paint finish and color

The lid is finished in the Mountain Grey Metallic - 787 shade, which belongs to the Mercedes metallic paint palette. This type of coating provides a characteristic depth of color, good resistance to weather conditions, and consistency with the factory body finish in the same paint code.

The metallic surface promotes even light distribution across the body, which facilitates the visual matching of the component to other body panels of the same color, minimizing the risk of shade differences when installed correctly.

Technical characteristics and installation

The boot lid has been designed as a structural element of the rear body section, working in conjunction with hinges, the lock, and the luggage compartment seal. Its original origin from the Mercedes range promotes the preservation of factory mounting points and compatibility with factory accessories and equipment.

The item is offered as a used part, which allows for an economical body repair while maintaining original geometry and proper fitment. Replacing the boot lid with a component from disassembly is particularly beneficial for post-accident repairs, where it is crucial to restore body lines without the need for aftermarket replacements of uncertain specifications.

Practical application and benefits

Using an original boot lid in Mountain Grey Metallic 787 allows for a reduction in paintwork scope, especially when the vehicle has the same paint code. In many cases, this enables faster restoration of the full functionality of the rear body section and the aesthetic appearance of the vehicle.

The main benefits of installing this component include:

• maintenance of the factory geometry of the rear body section,
• color consistency with the original Mercedes paint palette,
• possibility of economical repair based on a used part,
• compatibility with factory mounting points and equipment.
