Ask the seller or a Mercedes-Benz parts specialist to verify A1178809700-FL against the current electronic parts catalogue. Also compare dimensions, colour, mounting points, connectors and included hardware with the item already fitted or the accessory instructions.
Installation and practical use
Read the supplied instructions, protect painted and trimmed surfaces, and verify that every fastener or retaining point is secure before use. Recheck load-bearing accessories regularly.
Inspect the delivery before fitting it and retain the packaging until compatibility and operation have been confirmed. Stop the installation if the connectors, mounting points or dimensions differ from the vehicle.
