Purpose and technical function

The presented stop buffer operates in the rear part of the body on the right side, stabilizing the tailgate during closing and once closed. It is responsible for:

• damping the force of the tailgate closing,
• reducing vibrations and rattling while driving,
• maintaining the correct gap between the tailgate and the body,
• protecting the sheet metal edges from excessive load.

Thanks to this, the tailgate in the Ford Focus Mk3 maintains a stable position, and the operation of the lock and hinges remains repeatable and predictable.

Compatibility and fit for Ford Focus Mk3

The stop buffer has been developed as a component dedicated to the third-generation Ford Focus, which translates into factory-perfect fitment to the geometry of the tailgate and body. The specific placement on the vehicle (rear, right side) facilitates the identification of the correct mounting point and minimizes the risk of error when selecting the part.

The original Ford origin means compliance with factory dimensional tolerances, which is particularly important when adjusting the position of the tailgate relative to the fenders and bumper.

Used condition and benefits of choosing salvaged parts

The item is offered in a used condition, which allows for significant cost savings in rear body repairs while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. In the case of tailgate stop buffers, it is crucial to maintain the working shape and material elasticity – these factors determine the effective damping of the tailgate movement and the elimination of unwanted noises.

Choosing a used OEM component is particularly beneficial for post-accident repairs, correcting tailgate alignment, or eliminating rattles that appear after years of vehicle operation.

Why choose an original Ford stop buffer

Compared to aftermarket replacements, the original Ford Focus Mk3 Tailgate Boot Lid Stop Buffer provides:

• material consistency with other tailgate system components,
• repeatable performance parameters over a long period of use,
• easier adjustment of the tailgate position relative to the body,
• preservation of factory acoustic comfort in the rear of the vehicle.

For users who value the operational quality of the tailgate and proper body panel alignment, this is a technically sound and economically advantageous solution.
