Mercedes C (W202) Running Boards

If you’ve ever seen a parade where people are hanging onto cars from the outside throughout the parade route, you’ve noticed they’re often standing on a small ledge between the Mercedes C (W202) wheels. Though not every vehicle has this, this platform is known as a Mercedes C (W202) running board. Mercedes C (W202) Running boards are quite commonplace amongst trucks, SUVs, and other oversized vehicles, but many vehicles can be adapted to use them.

 

Custom Mercedes C (W202) running boards make it easy for people of any height to enter and exit a vehicle. This can be particularly helpful for those who rely on driving in a large vehicle, but have some passengers who can’t quite make the climb up into the inside of the vehicle. For vintage car restoration, installing Mercedes C (W202) running boards is common, as they were very much a part of many vehicles from decades ago that sat higher up from the road surface.
