Tailgate Clunks when opening

[kmac]

Hi,
I have a 2015 E300 estate and when the automatic boot opens it makes a loud clunk when it reaches fully open.
Spoke to someone who has a similar car and they don't have this clunking noise.

Just wondering if this is going to be a major problem in the near future and if it will cost a fortune to repair, or is it an easy fix.

Any advise would be much appreciated.

Usually this is something coming loose in the opening linkage. The fix is easy enough, but the rear headlining has to be removed for access...

Sounds logical, thank you very much for the reply.
All I need to do now is work out how to remove the headlining
