Mercedes Rocker Panel Molding Clip - Genuine Mercedes 2016980214

Product Information

A quarter panel molding clip is a trim piece that attaches along the edge of the rear quarter panel near the window area. Its role is mainly aesthetic, providing a clean, finished look by covering gaps between the body panel and glass, while also offering minor protection against dirt and moisture intrusion.

• Loose or missing trim, which can rattle or detach while driving.
• Water leaks or wind noise if the molding no longer seals properly against the body and glass.
• Faded, cracked, or warped appearance, reducing the vehicle’s overall cosmetic look.

About Genuine Mercedes

The original parts used by Mercedes Benz to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine Mercedes Benz” brand. Manufactured under the direction of Mercedes Benz, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are exclusively available through the Mercedes Benz Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Mercedes-Benz are not necessarily manufactured by Mercedes-Benz. No cause for concern, as Mercedes-Benz designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. 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.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
