KIMISS armrest release button cover W205

Where it shines

Drivers replacing a damaged or worn centre-console armrest release button cover on a listed Mercedes-Benz model are the clearest match for this KIMISS part. It is described for C-Class W205 models including the C200, C250, C300 and C400, and GLC-Class W253 models including the GLC200, GLC260 and GLC300. The useful detail is that this is a specific replacement cover plate, rather than a full armrest storage box or a universal interior trim piece.

The cover is made from ABS plastic, which the listing describes as impact-resistant and resistant to ageing and scratches. If you prioritize replacing just the switch cover, this is a more targeted approach than looking for a larger console assembly, if you prefer a part confirmed for your exact vehicle and original equipment number, matching those details should come first.

What to know

The reference part numbers are 2056803307 and 2056803407. Check the number on the part being replaced against the number listed for this cover, and confirm your vehicle’s model designation before ordering. The fitment information names specific C-Class and GLC-Class models, but gives no model years or further trim details. Without that detail, the listed model names alone may not settle fitment for every vehicle.

The seller describes the cover as a direct replacement that installs without modification or decoding. That may suit a straightforward switch-cover replacement, but the listing does not explain the removal process or show what tools are needed. If you are unsure whether the old part can be removed separately, compare the replacement with the existing plate and check the OE number before starting. A mismatch is the main practical risk here: a part that looks similar is not necessarily the right one for your console.

It suits you if the original armrest release cover needs replacing and your model and part number line up. Best to avoid it if you need a complete armrest assembly, your vehicle is outside the listed fitment, or you cannot confirm either reference number. The description makes no separate claim about a new switch mechanism being included, so treat this as the cover plate rather than assuming it replaces every internal component.

Best use cases

This part makes most sense for a focused repair: the armrest storage box release cover is damaged, but the rest of the console is still usable. For example, if the cover has become scratched or the button plate needs replacing, a matching replacement could address that specific area without choosing a broader console part. The product information also describes the button as responding directly when operated, but does not provide testing details or additional performance specifications.

There are no care instructions in the supplied information, so there is no specific cleaning method to recommend. In everyday use, the sensible priority is confirming the fit and OE number before installation, rather than assuming that the ABS material or the model name alone guarantees a match.

To wrap up

KIMISS is worth considering when you need the armrest release button cover for one of the named W205 or W253 models and can match the replacement against 2056803307 or 2056803407. Its appeal is its narrow purpose and stated no-modification replacement approach. The missing year and trim information makes it a less certain pick if your fitment cannot be confirmed, and it is not the right route if the damage involves the full armrest box or other console parts.
