Application and Body Function

The presented hinge operates in the rear part of the body on the right side, responsible for the controlled movement of the trunk lid in the opening and closing axis. As a component from the Trunk Lid and Rear Parts group, it forms part of the lid's support system, influencing:

• maintaining the correct position of the lid relative to the fenders and bumper,
• even load distribution during opening,
• stable operation of actuators or lifting springs,
• reduction of lid play and unwanted vibrations.

A correctly selected hinge helps eliminate problems with the lid edges rubbing against the body, improper closing, or leaks in the seal area.

Color and Visual Fitment

The part is finished in Obsidian Black Metallic - 197, allowing for color consistency with the bodywork in the same paint code. In practice, this means:

• aesthetic integration of the hinge into the rear lid area,
• no need for additional painting if the car's color matches,
• easier maintenance of the original appearance of the trunk compartment and lid edges.

For users who care about visual consistency of the bodywork, matching the hinge color to the vehicle's paint is a significant advantage, especially for post-accident repairs or bodywork and paint corrections.

Mounting Characteristics

The hinge is designed specifically for Mercedes CLK C209/W209 series models, which translates to factory-fitment to the mounting points in the body and lid. Thanks to this:

• the original opening geometry of the lid is maintained,
• there is no need to adapt mounting holes,
• it is easier to set even gaps between the lid and the rear vehicle elements.

A properly selected hinge also facilitates adjustment of the lid's position during installation, which is important for precise alignment of body lines after body repairs.

Condition and Service Application

The product is a used part intended for service applications, such as replacing a damaged or worn-out hinge after a collision, corrosion, or prolonged use. Choosing an original part from the same model series allows for:

• structural compatibility with the original body design,
• correct interaction with the trunk lid and accompanying components,
• visual consistency within the rear part of the vehicle.
