Purpose and fitment

The presented backrest is a component from the Seats and benches category, designed for the rear seat on the left side. The construction is compatible with factory mounting points in the vehicle body, which facilitates installation and ensures the correct seating position for passengers. As a result, this part is suitable for both post-collision repairs and gradual vehicle interior restoration.

Upholstery material and color

The backrest is manufactured using imitation leather technology, with upholstery based on a material specified as Leather. This structure provides a pleasant-to-the-touch surface, good resistance to daily wear, and ease of cleaning. The uniform black color facilitates integration with most factory interior configurations used in W117 and W176 models, allowing for a consistent, understated cabin character.

Vehicle placement and functional role

The element is intended for installation in the rear part of the cabin, on the left side (Rear, Left). This placement is significant for both ergonomics and safety – the backrest works in conjunction with factory seat belt mounting points and seat geometry. Replacing it with a functional module helps restore proper back support for passengers, reduces fatigue on longer journeys, and maintains a stable posture while driving.

Characteristics of a used product

The backrest comes from dismantling, which means it is a used component. This type of part is a sensible choice for repairing older vehicles, where combining correct functionality with cost control is key. A used component allows for maintaining the original interior specification without the need for aftermarket replacements with different textures or upholstery shades.

Benefits of using an original seat backrest

Using an original rear seat backrest in a Mercedes W117 / W176 offers a number of practical benefits:

• preservation of the factory look and upholstery lines in the rear cabin area,
• compatibility with the seat structure and serial mounting points,
• color consistency with other black interior elements,
• rational repair costs thanks to the use of dismantled parts.
