Hi Guys, hope someone can help, I have searched the forum but can't seem to find an answer.
The boot lid on my C230K only unlatches and lifts 2-3 inches. It has recently been replaced after I was rear-ended by a luton van :eek: When I picked up the car from the bodyshop the boot lifted fine, but after 10 days or so it stopped lifting all the way. Is it a simple adjustment, or does it need to go back to the bodyshop?

Thanks
 
Simple adjustment assuming that the spring (s) are not broken.

Behind the side carpet trim panels there is a spring on each side and it can be slotted into three positions/slots that control the adjustment.

Have a look yourself BUT certainly take it back to body shop if no joy.
 
Thanks Flash,
sorted now - back to looking cool at Tesco's:bannana:
 
I always get funny/dirty looks doing the remote boot release down Tescos...:D
