Purpose and function of the component

The presented rubber insert is dedicated to the centre console storage compartment in the Mercedes CLS W218 generation. As an item from the Console Parts category, it is responsible for:

• increasing grip for phones, keys, cards, and other small items,
• protecting the plastic surface of the storage compartment from scratches and localized wear,
• easier maintenance of cleanliness in the centre tunnel,
• maintaining a consistent interior aesthetic in line with the factory Mercedes design.

Thanks to the use of flexible material, the insert adheres well to the surface, and its edges are matched to the geometry of the storage compartment, which facilitates installation and removal during cleaning.

Construction and functional properties

The rubber centre console mat has been designed as an OEM component that works with the factory shape of the tunnel storage compartment. The surface structure limits the sliding of items while allowing for the quick removal of dirt.

• Flexible construction facilitating the removal of the insert for vacuuming or washing.
• Profiling matched to the shape of the storage compartment in the CLS W218 model.
• Neutral, subdued finish matching the style of the Mercedes interior.

Such a solution allows for functional organization of the space in the console without interfering with the vehicle's structure and without the need for additional fasteners.

Condition and benefits of choosing an original used part

The item comes from the secondary market, which means it is an original Mercedes part in used condition. In practice, this translates into:

• factory fit for the CLS W218 centre console,
• preservation of the original geometry and material stiffness,
• more favorable cost compared to a new component while maintaining assembly compatibility.

Choosing a used rubber insert allows you to restore the functionality of the console storage compartment when the factory element is worn, cracked, or has been removed, without compromising on compatibility.

Selection by OEM number and compatibility

This insert model has an assigned OEM part number and interchangeable numbers, which facilitates clear identification and selection for a specific equipment version. In case of doubt, it is worth comparing the shape and dimensions of the element you possess with the presented product or using the factory numbering.
