Mercedes Illuminated Star Emblem - Genuine Mercedes 2078172100

Product Information

Emblems serve as key visual identifiers for a vehicle, often displaying the make, model, or trim level. They are typically found on various exterior parts such as the deck lid, grille, fenders, doors, hood, and bumpers. Emblems and their retainers help to personalize and distinguish a vehicle's appearance

• Fading or discoloration can occur due to prolonged exposure to sunlight and harsh weather conditions, diminishing the emblem's aesthetic appeal.
• Peeling, cracking, or detachment may result from the degradation of the emblem material or its adhesive backing over time.
• A weakened adhesive can cause the emblem to become loose or fall off entirely, leading to a missing emblem.

About Genuine Mercedes

In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Mercedes-Benz for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a Mercedes-Benz logo.
