Purpose and fitment

The backrest is part of the Seats and benches category, designed for installation in the rear right section of the vehicle. The construction is based on factory mounting points, which facilitates proper seating in the X218 body and allows for the preservation of the original seat geometry. This makes it possible to restore the standard rear bench layout without the need for structural modifications.

Its placement in the rear of the cabin means the backrest is important for both passenger comfort and safety – a correctly selected component ensures proper back support and a stable connection with the seat base and seatbelt mounts.

Material and finish

The backrest is finished in black leather, allowing for a seamless match with standard Mercedes interior configurations. The leather upholstery provides a pleasant-to-the-touch, easy-to-maintain material that withstands daily use well. The dark color scheme helps maintain cabin aesthetics by reducing the visibility of minor dirt.

The factory design of the backrest is prepared to work with standard rear bench components, such as the seat base, headrests, or side trims. This ensures stylistic interior consistency and the ergonomics intended by the manufacturer.

Practical application and benefits of installation

Replacing the rear right seat backrest is particularly important in cases of:

• mechanical damage to the original backrest (cracks, structural deformations),
• wear or abrasion of the leather upholstery,
• post-accident repair of the rear passenger cabin,
• restoring the vehicle to a factory-like state after interior modifications.

Using an original Mercedes backrest ensures compliance with factory assembly and finishing standards. This solution facilitates service, reduces the risk of improper component fitment, and supports the vehicle's value retention by maintaining the original interior specification.

Condition and technical installation aspects

The item is in used condition, meaning it has been removed from a vehicle and was previously in service. Before installation, it is recommended to perform a standard check of the mounting points, folding mechanisms (if applicable to the configuration), and fitment to the existing seat base and upholstery panels. Proper preparation of the installation area will allow for stable seating of the backrest and avoid unwanted play.

Due to its factory origin, the backrest is intended to work with original Mercedes structural elements, which promotes seamless integration with other rear bench components.
