Purpose and fitment

The presented headrest is designed for the rear seats of Mercedes W169 and W245 series vehicles, with the possibility of installation on both the left and right sides. Its placement in the rear part of the cabin allows for full seat functionality and factory backrest ergonomics. The item belongs to the Other seat parts group, which means it is compatible with the original guides and backrest adjustment mechanisms in these models.

Construction and materials

The headrest features a design adapted to the standard mounts in the rear seat backrest, which facilitates installation and removal without the need for seat modifications. The black fabric upholstery ensures an aesthetic, subdued look and ease of maintenance. Thanks to the uniform color scheme, the headrest blends well with typical interior configurations in these Mercedes generations, allowing for visual consistency in the cabin.

Passenger comfort and safety

A properly selected rear seat headrest is important for ride comfort and reducing neck strain for passengers during sudden braking. The appropriately contoured upper part supports the head, and the stable mounting in the backrest minimizes unwanted play. Maintaining the original geometry of the seat and backrest helps preserve factory safety parameters, which is particularly important when transporting passengers on longer trips.

Characteristics of a used product

As a used part, the headrest may show signs of normal wear, yet it retains functionality and construction consistent with the manufacturer's factory specifications. Choosing an original dismantled part allows you to maintain high build quality, proper fitment with the backrest, and compatibility with other seat components. This is a solution often chosen when replacing a single headrest after mechanical damage or when completing missing interior elements.

Used OEM components allow for significant cost savings compared to new parts, while maintaining the factory standard of workmanship.
