Purpose and body fitment

The offered boot lid is dedicated to the rear body section of the Mercedes C-Class W204 generation model. Its placement in the rear area of the vehicle allows for the restoration of proper body geometry after a collision or operational damage, while maintaining the design lines characteristic of this series.

Thanks to a design consistent with factory solutions, the component works with the original mounting points, hinges, and hardware intended for this model. This reduces adjustment work and facilitates installation in professional body and paint shops.

Obsidian Black Metallic paint finish

The lid is finished in Obsidian Black Metallic paint, one of the popular shades used on Mercedes vehicles. The metallic structure of the coating provides characteristic color depth and good presentation in both daylight and artificial light.

Such a finish enables:

• maintaining visual consistency of the body for vehicles in the same color,
• reducing the scope of paint work or using the element as a prepared base for repainting,
• easier shade matching during the body restoration process.

Technical characteristics and installation

The boot lid belongs to the group of body components that directly affect the tightness of the luggage compartment and the proper operation of the lock and seals. The design intended for the rear of the vehicle allows for correct gap alignment relative to the fenders, bumper, and tail lights, which is important for both aesthetic and functional reasons.

The component is sourced from dismantling, which allows for the preservation of the original sheet metal structure and compliance with the manufacturer's factory standards. In practice, this translates into:

• better fitment to the bodywork than in the case of many aftermarket replacements,
• preservation of factory stampings and edges,
• the possibility of use in repairs compliant with the manufacturer's technology.

Use in body repairs

Mercedes-Benz C-Class W204 Saloon Boot Trunk Lid Tailgate Obsidian Black - 197 will work well both for post-accident repairs and for replacing the element due to corrosion or mechanical damage. Choosing an original boot lid from dismantling allows for optimizing repair costs while maintaining a high level of compliance with the vehicle's construction.

During the installation process, it is recommended to perform:

• verification of body geometry before final tightening of the mounts,
• adjustment of gaps and positioning relative to adjacent elements,
• checking the operation of the lock and the fit of the seals after closing the lid.
