Purpose and body fitment

The presented moulding is dedicated to the rear left door area in Mercedes ML-Class W164 generation models. The vehicle placement is factory-defined, ensuring the component maintains the correct geometry, contours, and profile characteristic of this model. Such fitment reduces the need for additional modifications and facilitates installation in place of the factory moulding.

Color and surface finish

The moulding is finished in Obsidian Black Metallic, which allows for consistency with the original body paint in this shade. The metallic paint structure provides appropriate color depth and correct light reflection, which is crucial for matching the remaining body panels. In many cases, this allows for installation without the need for repainting, provided the other vehicle components are maintained to the same color standard.

Component characteristics and service application

The door moulding serves both protective and aesthetic functions: it shields the door skin edge from minor mechanical damage and visually completes the side line of the body. Replacement of this component is recommended in the case of:

• mechanical damage or corrosion within the original moulding,
• post-accident repairs in the rear left door zone,
• restoring the vehicle to a factory-like condition after body and paint work.

The component is sourced from dismantling, which allows for maintaining the original manufacturer's specifications and proper fitment to the door structure.

Condition, origin, and installation aspects

The product is used, which in practice means it may show signs of wear typical for body components, while maintaining full installation functionality. The original Mercedes origin promotes proper alignment with the door edge, seals, and other components of the side body section. Installation is recommended using the correct mounting points and in accordance with service procedures for the ML W164 model.

Benefits of using an original door moulding

Using an original rear left door moulding allows for:

• maintaining factory body geometry in the door zone,
• preserving color consistency in the Obsidian Black Metallic shade,
• reducing the time required for fitting and adjusting the component,
• aesthetic finishing of the vehicle's side section after body repairs.

For body and paint workshops as well as users concerned with compliance with factory specifications, this is a technically predictable solution that is easy to integrate into the existing door structure.
