The deck lid stop buffer is a small but important component mounted between the trunk lid (deck lid) and the vehicle body. Its primary function is to cushion and stabilize the deck lid when closed, preventing metal-to-metal contact, reducing noise, and ensuring proper alignment. Typically made from durable rubber or urethane, the stop buffer absorbs impact, minimizes vibrations, and helps maintain a secure, rattle-free fit of the trunk lid.

• Trunk lid rattling or vibration noises – caused by worn or missing buffers.
• Misaligned or uneven deck lid closure – indicates buffers are damaged or compressed.
• Visible cracks, hardening, or deterioration of rubber – reduces the buffer’s ability to absorb impact and protect the deck lid.

About Genuine Mercedes

The original parts used by Mercedes Benz to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine Mercedes Benz” brand. Manufactured under the direction of Mercedes Benz, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are exclusively available through the Mercedes Benz Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Mercedes-Benz are not necessarily manufactured by Mercedes-Benz. No cause for concern, as Mercedes-Benz designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Mercedes-Benz for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a Mercedes-Benz logo.
