Purpose and Function of the Part

The presented hinge is dedicated to the rear, right side of the tailgate in the Mercedes C-Class W204 estate body style. It is responsible for stable lid guidance during opening and closing, transferring loads from the lid to the body structure. A correctly selected hinge reduces stress on the sheet metal, minimizes the risk of deformation, and helps maintain proper gaps between the lid and the fenders and bumper.

Paint Color and Matching

The part is factory painted in the Carneol Red Metallic – 544 shade, allowing for an aesthetic match with the bodywork of the same paint code. In many cases, this enables installation without the need for repainting the entire part, reducing repair time and costs. Using the original color also helps avoid shade discrepancies, which are typical for unpainted aftermarket parts or those repainted secondarily.

Mounting Parameters and Compatibility

The hinge is designed for installation at the rear of the vehicle on the right side, at the factory mounting point of the tailgate. The OEM design ensures compatibility with original screw points and proper cooperation with lifting actuators and other elements of the opening mechanism. This allows for maintaining the factory opening angle of the lid and smooth operation of the entire system.

Characteristics of a Used Part

As a used part, the hinge comes from a dismantled vehicle and offers a cost-effective solution while maintaining the original manufacturer's specifications. This type of component is particularly useful for accident repairs, correcting the geometry of the rear body, or replacing a worn-out tailgate opening mechanism. Original origin promotes proper fitment with the bodywork and compatibility with factory screws and hardware.
