Purpose and fitment

The backrest has been specifically designed for the rear right side of the bench in C117 family models, ensuring a proper fit to the body structure and seat mounting system. Its placement in the rear of the vehicle allows for the restoration of full passenger seat functionality without the need for structural modifications.

The black color of the upholstery facilitates integration with the factory interior design, especially in configurations maintained in dark tones. As a result, this component works well both for replacing a damaged backrest and for the gradual renovation of the entire rear row of seats.

Materials and finish

The combination of fabric and Artico imitation leather provides the balance between comfort and durability characteristic of Mercedes. The textile zones promote comfort during longer journeys, while the imitation leather sections are easier to clean and resistant to typical operational wear.

The surface structure has been selected to minimize clothing slippage and maintain stable back support for passengers. At the same time, the black finish helps minimize the visibility of minor dirt, which is practical for daily vehicle use.

Function in the seating system

The rear right backrest plays a key role in providing adequate support for the passenger sitting on the right side of the rear bench. The element works in conjunction with the seat cushion and other bench segments, creating a coherent seating system with predictable stiffness and ergonomics.

Proper alignment of the backrest shape with the interior geometry of the Mercedes C117 contributes to:

• stable back support while driving,
• correct positioning of the seat belt relative to the passenger's silhouette,
• aesthetic connection with side panels and other upholstery elements.

Characteristics of the used product

The backrest comes from the used parts segment, which allows for an economical interior repair while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. This type of component is particularly beneficial for localized upholstery damage, when there is no need to replace the entire bench.

Choosing an original, used backrest from the same model series reduces the risk of differences in the shade of black, material texture, or stitching lines, which is important for maintaining a consistent cabin appearance.
