tailgate

My auto tailgate on merc r class seems very sensitive and sometimes does not close and I have to watch it go up and back down again. Are these indeed sensitive or mine perhaps faulty. Any experience of this ?

Finally tackled a blown reverse light bulb which was bugging me and noticed someone ham-fisted had been there before. I need replacements for the push-fit rivet fasteners and was wondering if anyone has the part numbers. I would normally look up the EPC, but my new Windows 8 PC refuses to...

Hi, I need certainly two of the above, I could probably get away without the tailgate. Cheers, Paul

Want a o/s (driver) rear tailgate light to suit a 2002 Avantgarde estate, S210. It houses the rear fog light (driver side only) and the reversing lights. The reverse is slightly smoked. If I have to take a matching pair I will. Must be in good condition and corrosion free on electrical...

We have an 03 ML270 (163) found out today that the tailgate is not locking with the rest of the doors :mad: Any suggestions as best order of checking things and where to start, could this be why the indicators have never flashed on locking the car since we have had it ? Thanks in advance

Just noticed near side is not sitting as close / tight in to the rear pillar as the offside near top edge of glass. Just had a paint repair around underside of tailgate release + new grab handle which meant internal trim removed / refitted. Tailgate panel that carries badge is flush with...

At my local Mc Chavs the other day I saw this Vito in nice condition except for I thought they fixed this problem ??

I need to remove the tailgate trim to get at the washer pipe, but its fastened on with plastic grommets with plastic screws in them. Do I just prise these off from behind or do they need to come out and be replaced:confused: Phil

I have had a poke about in the search and haven't come with anything definitive. I have been quoted £85 per side for struts and four hours labour for changing them. I can get the struts cheaper and I understand from the search that it isn't necessary to drop the entire headlining which saves...

I'm not sure if this will help anyone or not, but I thought I'd share it since I couldn't find anything similar when looking for a solution to my tailgate lock problem. The tailgate lock on my A140 would lock fine with the remote, but fail to open with the same. I've never come across a...

The tailgate on my 2009 E320CDi is sitting flush on the drivers side yet is sitting a few mm proud on the passenger side, and it also rattles because it is not sitting tight. Is there a procedure I need to follow to re-align the tailgate? Many thanks.

Folks - Does anyone know if the seal for the tailgate on the W124 estate is available from MB? If it is not, and the chances of finding a good condition one second-hand are slimmer than a very slim thing, then has anyone here successfully used a seal from another MB type or even a different...

I know some of you frown heavily on the use of bike racks off the back of cars and the S211 isn't supposed to be suited to taking one but Dammit I had a perfectly good Saris Bones 3 and I wanted to use it... so I thought about it, applied engineering judgement and here it is... apparently it can...

Folks, I've recently bought a 2004 S211 320CDI and am in the process of fixing all the little niggles, one of which relates to the stainless steel plate at the lip of the load area. There appears to be a little too much flex and movement in the plate, I've removed the metal screws that hold it...

Sods law Dictates that with a full load for a house move the 124's tailgate has decided not to open The Button goes all the way in without any engagement The Key will not turn and after a bit of juggling and contortions we managed to get in and pull the interior handle ..... still nothing Not...

Hi all the tailgate lock on my 2000 ML 430 has just given up the ghost How do you remove the cover trim to Inspect the lock and associated wiring and are there any things to whatch out for! Mike

S212 tailgate and iPod questions I am collecting my 'new' 2010 E350 cdi sport estate up on Thursday, I paid the deposit today and can't wait. I have a couple of questions however and I wondered if you could help? Is the tailgate powered for opening and closing or only closing ...

Hi All Does anyone know if there is a method of adjusting the tailgate hinges on S211 Estate? The tailgate on my car never seemed to sit right in the body opening when closed. I did a bit of adjustment myself where the actual hinges bolt onto the tailgate which made it a bit better but...
