tailgate

I have my eye on a '92 pre facelift W124 E220 estate, among some issues it has are a tailgate closer thats not working, tailgate closes manually but the electric closer doesn't function. The owner thinks it might be the relay in the tailgate and has taken out the relevant fuse. Apparently its...

Hi, does anyone know how to remove just the barrel from the tailgate of a vito? i have removed the whole mechanism but cannot see how to release the barrel. Thanks scott.

2005 Vito, the usual rust around the rear wiper, the only mark on the van, it's immaculate, full main dealer history. Report the rust, pictures taken, day 1 asked to take to there approved painters for mercedes , that was full of crashed mercedes! same day. call the next day and they have said...

Good evening. I own a 2006'06' A200CDI my first mercedes.Its brilliant and i wish that id bought one years ago. Its quick frugal and quite roomy for a small car. Now the bad bit when cleaning it a few weeks ago i noticed that there was rust starting to crack through the paint on the tailgate...

Hi I have just purchased the above,http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/general-discussion/79297-dont-buy-car-dark-rain.html as a second car, and the badge is on the wrong side, I have taken it off and ordered a set from Mercedes (parts told me that E240 was discontinued & I have to order E420 &...

Hi Recently purchased a W124 T300 TE. The problem is that the tailgate/boot will not lift up or stay up. Never realised how heavy those things are. Problem is that its next to impossible to use the boot as you always need one had to open the door and hold it open. I am also concerned as I have...

Hi everyone, Does anyone have any experience of this or know if it's a common problem? My car is a 53 plate and i've noticed this weekend that there are a few rust bubbles popping up on the tailgate. One of them is quite big at about 5mm in diameter. We've only had the car for two weeks...

My estate has a self-close thing - it doesn't actually shut the tailgate itself like my passat but it pulls itself shut when pushed to. Trouble is is makes a clunking sound when it does it and also when the car unlocks. Is this poor alignment after 9 years use? How easy is it (and how do i!)...

I unlocked the car with the remote fob as usual. The Mrs may have been holding the boot handle as I did so, she says she wasn't but I'm not too sure. The boot will not open now. I've locked and unlocked the car several times from the fob, and from the internal switch. I've also tried unlocking...

Hello My dad has a E320cdi estate (w211 model I think) a 2003 model. The rear tailgate when you close it use to get to within say an inch of being shut then the motor would pull it down and close it. Well its stopped doing this, the rear cover still moves into place and you can hear the...

Can these be retro fitted to earlier cars, or is there a kit available ??

I thought it would be a simple job to replace the broken tailgate badge on my C240. Does it just lever off or do you have to remove (somehow) the interior cloth trim from the inside of the tailgate. Advice would be appreciated. Thanks

I am in need of a W124 estate tailgate, ideally in azurite blue. Mine has some rust near the rubber and I would think it would cost me more to have this rust sorted and the tailgate resprayed. Maybe cheaper for me to get one from a breaker and even if it's not the right colour I could get it...

Hello, Can you tell me how to adjust the tailgate on my E320 Estate. It is flush fitting on the near side (in the area of the E320 badge/rear lights) but proud on the off side (in the area of the CDI badge/rear lights). This may be the cause of my rattle as the door isn't being pulled down...

Hello. I've had a W202 estate for a few months now. It had a new tailgate fitted due to rust issues while the previous owner had it. Since I've had it, I've noticed that the tailgate's bit rattly/loose. I've adjusted the rubber things and this helped a little bit. Recently, however, someone...

My 2006 ML has been to the dealers today to investigate the tailgate not closing properly, and the warning light displaying saying "tailgate open" They said they have fixed it, but im not sure they have. Before the problem occured when the tailgate was closed, there was the sound of a...

I have cracked the lense (don;t ask!) on my estate tailgate brake light - fitted in the bodywork above the rear screen (not mounted on the glass). If I source a replacement (arm and a leg from Mercs, I've checked) is it possible to remove and replace without major surgery to the tailgate/trim...

I'm looking for the interior trim piece for the tailgate on my W124 estate (the carpeted bit), preferably in grey / white. If you have one, please send me some pictures and a price. Thanks.

Has anyone retrofitted the above to a w211 and if so how hard was it?

I have a pair of new gas rams for the W124 estate. MB part number A1247700225 £40 the pair. No longer available from your dealer.
