Mercedes-Benz Vito W638 Grab Handle Adapter Spacer

Description (English)

This is a high-precision replacement part for the interior grab handles of the Mercedes-Benz Vito W638 (1996–2003).

These adapters are essential for the rear and center passenger seats. Their function is to act as a bridge between the handle and the vehicle's metal chassis. Without this part, the handle would rest directly on the headliner (upholstery), causing it to deform, sink, or even crack when the screw is tightened.

I designed this part after losing one of the original factory spacers during maintenance. It is a 1:1 replica of the original part, ensuring a perfect fit and a solid mounting point for your handles.

Recommended Material / Recommended Material

• English: Due to high temperatures inside vehicles (especially on the ceiling), I recommend using PETG, ABS, or ASA. If you use PLA, ensure it is a high-quality version like Hyper PLA and keep in mind it may soften in extreme summer heat.
