What This Part Does & Where It Fits
Location
This trim sits around the lower steering column immediately behind and below the steering wheel. It closes the exposed underside of the column and provides the shaped opening/surround for the manual steering-column adjustment lever.
Function
Its job is protective and cosmetic: it covers the column structure, helps retain the intended cabin finish and keeps the adjustment area properly enclosed. It does not electronically control steering assistance, the steering rack, steering-angle sensor or an electric column-adjustment motor.
Primary Fitment — Read Before Ordering
FITS WHEN MATCHED The chassis year range below is the model-series range. Component fit still depends on the exact part number and steering-column configuration.
| Status | Vehicle | Years | Body | Mandatory Checks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FITS WHEN MATCHED | Mercedes-Benz E-Class W211 | 2002–2009 | 4-door saloon | Existing part must match A2114600095, manual adjustment-lever opening, mounting layout and trim colour/texture. |
| VERIFY FIRST | Mercedes-Benz E-Class S211 | 2003–2009 | 5-door estate | Part-number cross-application exists, but confirm A2114600095 and the same manual-column trim configuration. VIN/catalogue confirmation is recommended before ordering. |
| VERIFY FIRST | Mercedes-Benz CLS C219 / W219 | 2004–2010 | 4-door coupé | Part-number cross-application exists, including right-hand-drive examples, but confirm A2114600095, manual adjustment style, trim finish and VIN/catalogue data. |

Do Not Order This Part If…
| Status | Vehicle / Configuration | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| DOES NOT MATCH | E-Class W210 / S210 | Previous E-Class generation; different steering-column trim architecture. |
| DOES NOT MATCH | E-Class W212 / S212 | Successor generation; different trim design. |
| DOES NOT MATCH | CLS C218 / X218 | Successor CLS generation; different trim design. |
| DOES NOT MATCH | Electric steering-column adjustment with a different shroud/opening | The photographed item is the manual-adjustment trim style. |
| STOP & CHECK | Your removed part shows a different number | Do not treat a different number—including A2114600195—as interchangeable unless your VIN/manufacturer catalogue confirms a supersession. |
| STOP & CHECK | Colour/texture differs | The trim may be physically similar but visually incorrect for your interior. Match the exact photographs. |
Buyer Matching Checklist — Correct Part First Time
1. Match Number
Your old part should read A2114600095 / A 211 460 00 95, unless a manufacturer catalogue confirms an approved replacement number.
2. Match Shape
Compare the adjustment-lever opening, screw positions, clips/tabs and overall moulding against the exact listing photos.
3. Match Vehicle
Confirm chassis, body style, build year and steering-column configuration. Registration year alone is not enough for a trim-option decision.
Common Symptoms of a Worn or Damaged Steering-Column Trim
Typical trim-related symptoms
Cracks or splits; broken mounting tabs; loose trim; rattling over uneven roads; visible gaps around the steering column; poor alignment; scuffed or damaged lever surround; or trim rubbing/catching when the column is adjusted.
When replacement helps
A correctly matched manufacturer-marked part restores the intended moulding geometry, mounting positions and cabin appearance. This can reduce the risk of poor clip alignment, gaps or rattles that can occur with low-cost pattern copies.
Fitting Guide — Static, No Active Content
Estimated trim-only repair time: approximately 20–40 minutes for an experienced technician, depending on access, fastener condition and whether clips require transfer. This is an estimate, not a manufacturer flat-rate time.
Suggested Tools
- Plastic interior trim-removal tool
- Torx bit set covering common interior sizes such as T20/T25/T30; match the bit to the fastener fitted to your car
- Small trim pick or small screwdriver for clips
- Torch / inspection light
- Soft cloth to protect surrounding trim
Safety Note
Park securely, keep the front wheels straight, switch the ignition off and remove the key before starting. Do not disturb airbag/SRS wiring. This trim job should not normally require steering-wheel or airbag removal; if your repair does, stop and follow the appropriate manufacturer workshop procedure or use a qualified technician.
- Move the steering column to a position that gives safe access to the lower shroud and adjustment lever.
- Inspect the underside and identify the fitted screws/clips. Select the correct bit rather than forcing an approximate size.
- Before dismantling fully, hold the replacement beside the old trim and compare A2114600095, lever aperture, mounting tabs and colour/texture.
- Remove the trim fasteners and release the old lower shroud gently with a plastic trim tool. Do not pull on wiring or force hidden clips.
- Transfer any reusable clips, foam or small trim retainers only if your original installation uses them and they are serviceable.
- Align the replacement tabs and adjustment-lever opening, seat the trim without forcing it, then refit the screws/clips.
- Tighten trim fasteners gently. Operate the manual column adjustment through its normal movement and confirm there is no rubbing, binding or loose trim.

Why Choose a Manufacturer-Marked Previously Fitted Part?
Original production moulding geometry, clip positions and lever aperture are designed around the vehicle’s interior architecture.
A serviceable recycled component can be substantially less expensive than buying a new replacement. Actual savings vary by part, condition and current market price.
Keeping usable automotive components in circulation can reduce unnecessary waste and demand for newly manufactured replacement parts.
