Tailgate Assist-Handle Trim A16674043009051

Genuine Mercedes-Benz Part

Restore showroom looks and effortless hatch operation with the A16674043009051 tailgate pull-handle trim. Moulded by Mercedes-Benz for the X166 platform, this black cover encloses the lower rear-door grab handle, giving passengers a solid, comfortable grip while shielding the latch mechanism from dirt and moisture.

Key Benefits

• Durable Black ABS – UV-stable polymer resists fading, cracking and winter road salt.

• Seamless Finish – flush edges follow the tailgate contour for a clean, integrated appearance.

• Weather Protection – built-in lip channels water away from the interior latch components.

• Quick Installation – remove two screws, unclip the old panel, snap in the new trim and tighten; average install time under ten minutes.
