W211 Estate tailgate adjust

[developer]

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 fully.

Thanks,

Can I ask how you resolved this issue ? I have exactly the same problem with my 2007 E350.

See email...

I have a worksheet that shows how to do this, if it isn't what Troon has sent you.

If you need it, please let me know.

In my case, I ended up taking it to an MB bodyshop - as it's a heavy item to realign on your own.

After realignment, the rattle disappeared.

Hi does anyone still have this worksheet?

I've recently had to fit a new lock and I'm trying to get the latch 100% in the correct position to get rid of an irritating slight thud going over bumps. Thx!

Troon is still around - perhaps send him a message.
