Purpose and fitment for Mercedes W204

The presented headrest has been designed specifically for the rear seat of the Mercedes C-Class W204 generation. The construction is adapted for installation on both the left and right sides, which facilitates the selection of the component when replacing a single headrest. Thanks to the factory profile, seat ergonomics and proper positioning relative to the backrest are maintained.

Material and color

The headrest upholstery is made of genuine leather, which allows for maintaining the interior finish standard characteristic of Mercedes. The grey color facilitates integration with typical W204 cabin configurations, ensuring a visually consistent effect after installation. The leather surface is resistant to typical operational wear and allows for easy maintenance with proper care.

Safety and comfort function

The rear seat headrest plays an important role in reducing strain on the cervical spine during sudden braking or collisions. A properly selected and correctly adjusted component helps improve the protection of passengers sitting in the back. At the same time, the soft padding and tailored shape contribute to travel comfort on longer journeys by stabilizing the head and neck.

Use in interior restoration

This original Mercedes production headrest is suitable for:

• replacing a damaged or missing component on the rear seat,
• completing the interior after bodywork repairs,
• restoring the factory look of the cabin after modifications or disassembly.

Using an original component allows for maintaining stylistic consistency and proper fitment to the guides and adjustment mechanisms in the backrest.

Installation area and practical aspects

The headrest is intended for installation in the rear part of the vehicle, on the left or right side, in the factory backrest sockets. Installation involves inserting the pins into the guides and setting the appropriate height, in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations. Thanks to the design consistent with the original, installation does not require any modifications or adaptations of the mounts.
