Purpose and function of the component

The described trim strip is intended for installation in the rear part of the vehicle, on the right side, within the trunk lid area. Its task is to direct the water flow from the surface of the lid and roof so that it does not penetrate the interior of the trunk and does not put excessive strain on the seals and sheet metal edges. A correctly installed trim strip reduces the risk of streaks, corrosion around the edges of the lid, and unwanted noises resulting from water accumulation.

The component is particularly important in everyday vehicle use – during rainfall, pressure washing, or driving in difficult weather conditions. Stable water management influences the comfort of using the trunk and the long-term tightness of the rear body section.

Compatibility with Mercedes W213

The trim strip has been designed for the Mercedes E-Class W213 generation body, maintaining the geometry and mounting points specific to this model. This means that it:

• fits the rear, right side of the trunk lid on the W213 body,
• maintains the body line and factory mounting gaps,
• is adapted to work within the original water drainage system.

Thanks to a design consistent with the manufacturer's solutions, it integrates with other elements of the rear body section without the need for modifications or forced fitting. This is important both from the point of view of aesthetics and the tightness of the entire system.

Characteristics of the used component

The offered trim strip is a used component, which in practice means that it comes from vehicle dismantling and may show signs of normal wear. This type of part is a good choice when you want to maintain original geometry and compatibility with the body, while simultaneously reducing costs compared to a new component. A used element with an intact mounting structure allows for efficient installation and restoration of proper water drainage from the rear of the car.

Choosing an original trim strip from dismantling is particularly beneficial for post-collision repairs, replacing damaged trunk lid components, or removing the effects of corrosion around the edges of the rear body section.

Application in rear body repairs

The water drainage trim strip in the rear, right part of the trunk lid will prove useful in situations where:

• mechanical damage or cracking of the original trim strip has occurred,
• there are leaks and streaks in the area of the right edge of the trunk lid,
• after body and paint repairs, it is necessary to replace a missing component,
• you want to restore factory water management in the rear of the vehicle.

A correctly selected trim strip helps maintain stable operating conditions for the seals and the lid lock, which translates into the convenience of everyday trunk use and reduces the risk of moisture in the upholstery and equipment elements.
