Purpose and Function in the Bodywork

The presented hinge is dedicated to the rear tailgate of the W177 series hatchback and operates on the right side of the body. It is responsible for the stable guidance of the tailgate, proper opening and closing, and maintaining the correct position relative to the fenders, bumper, and rear lights. The original design ensures factory-consistent gaps and minimizes the risk of stress on the tailgate panel.

Paint Color and Matching

The part is finished in Patagonia Red Metallic – 993, allowing for an aesthetic match with the bodywork in the same shade without the need for a full repaint. In many cases, only minor touch-ups or polishing are sufficient to achieve a visually cohesive effect after repairing the rear of the vehicle.

Mounting Characteristics

The hinge is designed as a factory part, which facilitates installation at the original mounting points of the tailgate. A correctly selected part for the right side of the vehicle:

• maintains the correct pivot axis of the tailgate,
• reduces the risk of misalignment and rubbing against adjacent body parts,
• simplifies the adjustment of the tailgate's position relative to the seals and lock.

This allows for repeatable repairs or replacement of a worn hinge in accordance with the manufacturer's technology.

Condition and Application in Accident Repairs

As a part from the Tailgates & Rear category, this hinge is particularly suitable for repairs after rear-end collisions, replacement of a damaged tailgate, or correction of body geometry. Using an original used part can reduce costs compared to new parts while maintaining factory fit and compatibility with the tailgate's construction.
