Purpose and Fitment

The presented hinge is intended for installation in the rear, left part of the body, in the tailgate mounting area. The design has been developed specifically for estate and SUV bodies of this generation, which translates to proper tailgate guidance, even load distribution, and maintaining sealing and alignment with other body elements.

Original Mercedes origin means preserved factory mounting points, appropriate rigidity, and compatibility with other opening system components – gas springs, lock, and covers.

Function in the Tailgate System

The tailgate hinge is responsible for:

• stable tailgate guidance during opening and closing,
• maintaining correct geometry and gaps between the tailgate and fenders,
• cooperation with gas springs in terms of lifting force,
• safe transfer of loads resulting from the weight of the tailgate and its equipment.

Thanks to its proper rigidity and fit, this element reduces the risk of tailgate sagging, misalignment, or rubbing against adjacent body panels, which is important for both user comfort and paint durability.

Brilliant Blue Metallic – 896 Color and Visual Aspect

The hinge is factory painted in the Brilliant Blue Metallic – 896 shade, which is important for repairs where maintaining color consistency of visible elements after opening the tailgate is desired. The correct color selection minimizes the need for additional painting in areas where the hinge may be partially visible, and also helps maintain the aesthetics of the luggage compartment.

For users who care about visual consistency of the body, this is a practical solution that allows for faster and more predictable repairs without extensive painting work on the hinge area.

Mounting and Operational Characteristics

As a component from the Gas springs, locks, hinges and other parts group, the hinge has been designed for installation in factory mounting points, which facilitates service work and reduces replacement time. The design intended for cooperation with original gas springs and the tailgate lock allows for maintaining the factory operating parameters of the entire system.

A used OEM component is a cost-effective solution that is also technically consistent with other body elements. With proper installation, it ensures durable tailgate operation, without play or unwanted noises when driving over uneven surfaces.

Why Choose an Original Mercedes Tailgate Hinge

Choosing an original tailgate hinge for a Mercedes allows for maintaining factory safety and user comfort parameters. Precise fit, compatibility with the body structure, and appropriately selected paint color translate to predictable installation and correct tailgate operation in the long term.
