Product Information

Mercedes-Benz Liftgate and Parts diagram for GL450, ML250, GL550, ML63 AMG, ML350, & more

The liftgate hinge is a critical hardware component that connects the vehicle’s liftgate (rear hatch) to the body, allowing smooth pivoting during opening and closing. Built from heavy-duty metal with corrosion-resistant coatings, it supports the weight of the liftgate and ensures proper alignment for secure latching. A well-functioning hinge contributes to ease of use, prevents premature wear on liftgate struts, and maintains the structural integrity and weather-sealed fit of the rear compartment.

• Difficulty opening or closing the liftgate – often caused by hinge wear, binding, or corrosion.
• Sagging or misaligned liftgate – results in poor sealing, gaps, or improper latching.
• Noises during operation – squeaking, creaking, or grinding when the liftgate moves indicates hinge wear or lack of lubrication.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Mercedes-Benz are not necessarily manufactured by Mercedes-Benz.

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.
