tailgate

Parked alongside a W447 V220 today and saw that the glass on the tailgate opened independently, which is a nice feature. Is this standard? Anybody know if it's available on the W447 Vito as well?

Hi all, I have a problem with the tailgate on my ML. The powered part no longer works and its due to something I did :wallbash: One of the lifting arm bolts broke so I drilled out the old bolt, fitted new ones and then put the arm back on. Now it no longer opens electrically. I had it...

When the car is built, it makes sense to me that the tailgate arrives ready wired and is fitted to the car as an assembly. Am I right about this? I need to change a tailgate (s202) and would like to know if the tailgate simply plugs into the car or whether I have to strip both doors down and...

Looking for a tidy example for a restoration project. I am realistic enough to know I won't find a perfect one but I don't want a doily. Is there anything out there, please?

Hi, I have a problem with the soft close failing on the tailgate following a few months of intermitent performance. I also think a problem with the rear cabin lights might be related to this. I have replaced the mechanism with a known good one and still have no operation of the mechanism. I had...

Hi Everyone Does anyone know how to adjust the tailgate hatch on an S212 E Class Estate. I am no expert but I think the nearside is auto closing a bit too tight. Any help appreciated. TIA Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

Hi. Wondering if someone can help me out. I have a Vito W638 and recently bought a tailgate to convert to from barn doors. However I didn't realise that the mounting plates are situated within the rear roof are of the van that has a tailgate as standard and also believe they need cutting out. I...

I have a problem ...going on a 24hr ferry ride to Spain and the inclination sensor/ tow-away sensor has to be deactivated. I press the button on the dash and the red light blinks once, get out the car after locking other THREE doors and lock the Drivers door with the mechanical key as said in...

Further on from tailgate not latching automatically, third brake light, right brake light, right side reversing light and right side tailgate marker lights and tailgate shut button not working this morning. Does a fuse control that area of tailgate our is it more likely to be wiring? No faults...

Hi guys, my tailgate on my W212 isn't locking when power closed. It doesn't even sound like it's trying to. However, if I close the tailgate by pushing down, it locks fine Any ideas?

Can anyone tell me how to remove it as there's rust starting to form behind it and I'd like to treat it before its too late..:(

I want to replace the tailgate struts on my A200 2006 C169 - it takes a bit too long to reach the top open position (particularly in this cold weather), and silicone lubricant spray doesn't help much anymore. The Mercedes original ones, which I suspect made by one of the companies mentioned...

Hi All, Woke up this morning to an icy car on the driveway, with the boot wide open and the contents covered in frost. Thankfully nothing taken and care still present and correct! Anyone else had this experience? I've had the obvious thought of leaning on my keys in my pocket from inside the...

Apologies this is not in the bodywork section but the iPhone app won't let you create a new thread in that section. Anyways the mrs managed to reverse into somebody's tow hitch last night putting a decent dent in the tailgate of our S204 estate. Luckily the dent is in the metal and the plastic...

I'm sure you are all aware of this, but it was just by chance I discovered that I can close the tailgate by pressing and holding the button rather than pulling and releasing to open. Just thought I would throw it out there!

Hello, new to the group and would welcome any help here about this probblem. I've got a ML320 CDi. I remote lock and unlock the car no problem. But whenever I open the drivers door or any of the passenger doors, the tailgate opens as well. Its not a powered tailgate, but is a soft lock but...

Its fixed! I did it myself, which is rather surprising really as I have a habit of doing one job and creating at least a couple more...! :eek: Although the failed lock was under warranty still (by about 3 months), MB wanted around £220 + VAT to 'diagnose and replace' it. They also mentioned...
