Trunk Latch Purpose and Function

The presented latch is a component of the tailgate closing system in Mercedes MR/ML W164 and W251 vehicles. It is responsible for:

• stable guidance of the tailgate during closing,
• correct positioning of the lock relative to the body,
• reducing play and unwanted vibrations of the trunk lid.

By using the original holder, the factory mounting geometry is maintained, which is important for both ease of use and the durability of the entire tailgate assembly.

Original Origin and Fitment

The trunk holder comes from the Mercedes line, which means compliance with the manufacturer's factory design standards. The construction has been developed specifically for W164 and W251 bodies, therefore:

• it fits factory mounting points without modification,
• it works with the original lock and tailgate hinges,
• it maintains the correct line and gaps of the trunk lid.

Such a fit reduces the risk of problems with closing, the tailgate rubbing against the body, or leaks in the rear of the vehicle.

Characteristics of a Used Part

As a dismantled part, the trunk holder retains its original construction and material, while also being an economical solution compared to a new component. In practice, this means:

• maintaining original stiffness and mounting geometry,
• no need for body adaptation or modification,
• the ability to restore proper tailgate operation after a collision or wear of the previous part.

This solution is particularly beneficial for post-accident repairs and comprehensive restoration of the rear body section.

Benefits of Using an Original Trunk Latch

Using the original latch in the Mercedes MR/ML W164 W251 allows for the restoration of the tailgate's factory operating parameters. The most important benefits include:

• secure closing – reducing the need to slam the tailgate,
• tailgate stability – reducing rattles and play while driving,
• maintaining sealing – proper seating of seals in the rear of the vehicle.

This is particularly important in vehicles used daily, where the ease of trunk operation and the absence of unwanted noises from the rear of the car contribute to the overall driving experience.
