Purpose and body fitment

The presented boot lid has been designed specifically for the rear body section of the Mercedes W164 class, which translates into a proper fit with the body lines, seals, and lighting and lock components. Thanks to a design consistent with factory standards, the body geometry is maintained, and installation does not require any interference with the vehicle's structure.

This component is particularly useful for post-collision repairs, replacing corroded or mechanically damaged tailgates, and for restoration work where maintaining the original shape of the car and the proper operation of the boot opening mechanism is essential.

Tanzanite Blue Metallic - 359 color

The tailgate is finished in the Tanzanite Blue Metallic - 359 shade, characteristic of selected Mercedes W164 paint configurations. Using the original color makes it easier to match the existing vehicle paint, limiting the scope of any potential paintwork to a minimum or allowing for precise planning.

The metallic paint structure provides a visually attractive effect while maintaining consistency with the rest of the body panels. This is a beneficial solution for users who want to restore the vehicle to an aesthetic, factory-like appearance.

Performance characteristics and installation

As a rear body component, the boot lid is responsible for properly closing the cargo space, working with the seals, and maintaining the correct body lines. The used component allows for an economical repair while maintaining the original construction, which is important both from a safety perspective and for the future resale of the vehicle.

The tailgate is intended for installation in place of the factory component, which facilitates efficient body and mechanical service. Proper surface preparation and inspection of mounting points allow for stable seating and correct operation of the hinges and lock.

Benefits of using an original boot lid

• Factory fit – maintaining the correct geometry of the rear body section and compatibility with other body components.
• Color consistency – the original Tanzanite Blue Metallic paint facilitates integration with the existing vehicle finish.
• Reasonable repair cost – a used component allows for reduced expenses while maintaining a construction consistent with the manufacturer's standards.
