Purpose and function in the centre console

The ashtray cover is a component from the Console parts group, responsible for shielding the ashtray recess in the central part of the centre tunnel. Its proper operation contributes to:

• maintaining a uniform stylistic line of the centre console,
• protecting the interior of the ashtray from external dirt,
• limiting the spread of odours into the cabin when the cover is closed,
• preserving the ergonomics of the central zone for the driver and passenger.

A properly selected cover allows you to restore the factory look of the interior after damage or wear of the original part, without the need for interfering with the console structure.

Construction and fitment for Mercedes CLK C209

The element has been designed specifically for the interior of the Mercedes CLK C209 generation, taking into account the characteristic shape of the centre tunnel and the layout of the equipment. The design of the cover ensures:

• compatibility with the factory ashtray opening and closing mechanism,
• proper guidance within the centre console rails,
• visual consistency with other cockpit components.

Thanks to the retention of the original geometry, installation is straightforward, without the need for modifications or forced fitting. This solution is particularly beneficial for interior repairs following wear or minor mechanical damage.

Characteristics of the used component

The cover comes from the used original Mercedes parts segment, which means it retains the factory manufacturing specifications and purpose. This type of component is a good choice when you want to:

• maintain the original character of the vehicle's interior,
• ensure compliance with the manufacturer's factory standards,
• optimise repair costs compared to purchasing a new part.

A used centre console component allows for an economical, yet technically correct replacement of a damaged cover, while maintaining proper fitment with adjacent parts.

Application in service and interior renovation

The centre console ashtray cover is suitable for both standard service repairs and more extensive interior renovations of the Mercedes CLK C209. It can be used, among other things, for:

• replacing a damaged or cracked cover,
• visually refreshing the centre tunnel,
• completing missing elements after console disassembly.
