Mercedes Liftgate Trim Scuff Plate - Genuine Mercedes 1296900087

Product Information

A liftgate trim scuff plate is a protective panel located at the lower edge of a vehicle’s liftgate opening, designed to shield the interior trim and bodywork from scratches, scuffs, and wear during cargo loading and unloading. Often made of durable plastic or metal, it not only preserves the vehicle’s appearance but also enhances durability in high-contact areas.

• Visible scratches, dents, or wear, from frequent loading of cargo.
• Loose or missing scuff plate, reducing protection and causing rattling.
• Cracks or broken mounting tabs, making the plate unable to stay securely in place.

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.
