Purpose and technical function

The rear tailgate buffer stopper in Mercedes E-Class W211 and CLS C219 models operates in the rear body area, where it works in conjunction with the hinges and the tailgate lock. Its tasks include:

• damping energy when closing the tailgate,
• limiting operational play in the closing zone,
• reducing knocking and resonance transmitted to the bodywork,
• stabilizing the position of the tailgate relative to the body.

Thanks to this component, the closing system operates smoothly, and the tailgate maintains proper alignment with the rear body panels.

Construction and body fitment

The buffer is designed specifically for installation in the rear of the vehicle, in the zone interacting with the tailgate. The construction is adapted to the body geometry of the Mercedes W211 and C219, which ensures proper positioning relative to the lock and hinges. Precise fitment translates into an even distribution of forces during closing and stable guidance of the tailgate.

The element belongs to the Tailgates and rear parts group, making it compatible with the factory body system and requiring no interference with the vehicle's structure. Installation takes place in the rear body zone, in accordance with factory mounting points.

Application in service practice

The rear tailgate buffer stopper is particularly important when:

• eliminating knocking and rattling sounds coming from the rear of the vehicle,
• adjusting the tailgate fitment after bodywork repairs,
• restoring acoustic comfort after a rear-end collision,
• performing comprehensive service of components from the Tailgates and rear parts group.

Using an original solution allows for maintaining the correct operating characteristics of the tailgate, without the need for additional modifications or adaptations.

Product characteristics and condition

The offered buffer is a used part, sourced from dismantling, which allows for economical repair while maintaining compliance with the factory design. Original origin promotes proper fitment to the body and compatibility with other components of the tailgate system.

Its location in the rear of the vehicle means the component operates under conditions of exposure to temperature changes and dynamic loads, which is why its correct selection is significant for the durability of the entire closing system.
