• Dedicated to the rear interior, on the right side.
• Supports the rear seat backrest structure within the Seats and Benches category.
• Designed to function in the dynamically loaded area of the roadster's cabin.

By maintaining the original mounting geometry, this support enables the restoration of the backrest's factory position, which translates to improved user comfort and proper alignment of upholstery and other interior trim elements.

Construction, Color, and Interior Integration

The component has been manufactured according to the manufacturer's design principles to work precisely with the factory mounting points in the SLK R171 body. Its black color facilitates integration with typical interior configurations of this model, allowing for an aesthetically pleasing incorporation of the support into the existing rear cabin structure.

• Black color promotes discreet integration in the rear interior zone.
• Construction adapted for operation in the rear seat backrest area.

Such structural and color matching is particularly important for post-accident repairs, replacement of damaged load-bearing backrest components, or interior reconstruction following bodywork interventions.

Condition, Origin, and Service Application

This support belongs to the Seats and Benches category, meaning it is designed to work with the seating system in the Mercedes SLK R171.
