Purpose and compatibility with Mercedes W169 / W245

The presented mirror belongs to the Wing Mirrors category and has been designed for the Mercedes compact class W169 and W245 series. Its placement on the right side of the body guarantees compatibility with the factory mounting geometry, which facilitates installation and allows for maintaining the correct position of the mirror relative to the driver.

The mirror construction is prepared for integration with the vehicle's electrical system, allowing for convenient folding of the housing from inside the car. This solution improves ergonomics in urban traffic and reduces the risk of damage when parking in tight spaces.

Steppe Brown Metallic color – body consistency

The mirror housing is finished in the Steppe Brown Metallic – 490 shade, characteristic of selected Mercedes paint configurations. As a result, the component harmoniously fits into the body line without the need for additional painting, while maintaining the appropriate coating quality.

The metallic brown emphasizes the elegant character of the vehicle, and the precise color match reduces visual differences between the newly installed mirror and the remaining body panels. This is particularly important for post-accident repairs, where both functionality and aesthetics count.

Electric folding functionality

The mirror is equipped with an electric folding mechanism that allows for quick folding of the right housing without leaving the vehicle. This solution:

• facilitates maneuvering and parking in tight spaces,
• reduces the mirror's exposure to accidental impacts,
• increases the comfort of daily vehicle operation.

Thanks to the use of a factory design, once properly connected to the vehicle's electrical system, full control functionality from the cabin is maintained, in accordance with the solutions applied by the manufacturer.

Characteristics of the used component

The mirror comes from the used parts segment, which means it may show signs of normal wear while retaining full installation suitability. This is a beneficial solution for users looking for an original component at a reasonable price, while maintaining proper fitment for a specific Mercedes model.

Choosing an original, used mirror with electric folding allows for reducing the risk of compatibility issues typical of universal aftermarket replacements. The component is ready for installation in place of the factory mirror on the right side of the vehicle.

Expanding visibility and safety zones

A properly selected wing mirror has a direct impact on driving safety, especially during lane changes, maneuvering, and parking. The appropriate mirror geometry and stable mounting help reduce the blind spot on the right side of the vehicle, which is crucial in urban traffic and on highways.

Combining electric folding with a proper fit to the body makes the mirror a practical addition to the vehicle's surrounding observation system, supporting the driver in daily operation.
