Purpose and technical function

The presented protective hose is a component from the Tailgates and rear parts category, designed to protect the electrical harness routed to the tailgate on the right side of the vehicle. Its tasks include:

• routing cables along a designated path,
• protection against bending at too sharp an angle,
• reducing the impact of vibrations and tailgate movement on cable insulation,
• increasing the installation's resistance to mechanical damage during daily use.

Thanks to its dedicated shape, the hose works with factory mounting points, which helps maintain the factory harness routing and the correct operation of electrical components in the tailgate.

Body fitment and installation

The hose has been designed for the right side of the tailgate in the W164 body, which facilitates installation without the need for modifications. The design provides for:

• routing the harness in the tailgate hinge area,
• compatibility with factory grommets and mounts,
• the possibility of removal and reinstallation during service work.

Such a solution allows for orderly cable routing, which is essential when repairing the electrical installation, replacing the tailgate, or performing body and paint work in the rear part of the vehicle.

Characteristics of the used component

The item comes from dismantling, which means it is an original Mercedes component with parameters consistent with factory specifications. The used part allows for maintaining structural and material consistency with other body elements, while also providing an economical solution for repairs of the tailgate and its wiring.

Application in tailgate repairs

The Mercedes-Benz W164 Right O/S Boot Trunk Tailgate Wiring Cable Protective Hose will prove particularly useful in situations where:

• the factory hose has been damaged as a result of wear or a collision,
• cables within the tailgate area have been repaired or replaced,
• the tailgate has been removed or replaced with another one,
• it is necessary to restore proper harness routing on the right side of the vehicle.

Using a dedicated protective hose helps reduce the risk of recurring installation faults, such as power interruptions to lighting, the lock, or other receivers located in the tailgate.
