Purpose and fitment

The backrest has been designed specifically for the rear interior of the W212 series saloon, ensuring it maintains factory proportions, shape, and mounting points. Its placement in the rear passenger zone allows for seamless integration with the existing seat and upholstery panels, without the need for any structural modifications to the seats.

This item belongs to the Seats and benches group, meaning it is compatible with the factory Mercedes seating system and allows for the maintenance of a consistent stylistic line throughout the interior.

Construction and materials

The backrest is made of upholstery with a fabric structure, utilizing microfiber and imitation leather in black. This material configuration provides:

• a pleasant-to-the-touch surface in areas of passenger contact,
• easier maintenance and cleaning compared to classic fabric,
• a consistent, elegant appearance with other Mercedes interior trim elements.

The black color of the upholstery helps to visually "hide" minor dirt and matches both light and dark cabin color configurations.

Function and benefits of installation

Using this rear backrest allows for a technically correct interior repair following mechanical damage, abrasions, or spills. Replacing the backrest alone is advantageous when the seat cushion remains in good condition and only the rear backrest section requires restoration.

The main benefits of installation include:

• restoring the factory look of the rear seat without the need to replace the entire set of seats,
• maintaining the original geometry and ergonomics of the seat,
• visual consistency with other Mercedes upholstery elements.

Characteristics of the used product

The backrest comes from dismantling, which means it is a used item but remains fully functional in terms of construction. Such parts are a good choice when you want to maintain the manufacturer's original solutions while optimizing interior repair costs. Used upholstery components often fit the overall condition of the vehicle better than new aftermarket replacements, thanks to a similar degree of wear.
