Purpose and function of the component

The presented hinge is designed for installation on the rear left side of the vehicle body. It is responsible for the proper opening and closing of the tailgate, keeping it aligned and minimizing stress on the bodywork and mounts. Thanks to the correct structural geometry, the hinge works in tandem with the actuators and the lock, allowing for smooth lifting and safe lowering of the lid.

Color and body matching

The Obsidian Black Metallic color allows for an aesthetic match to the factory body paint in this shade, which reduces the need for additional paint work after installation. The metallic structure of the paint coating ensures a visually consistent effect with the rest of the bodywork, and the proper surface preparation also allows for potential repainting in a different color if necessary.

Technical characteristics and installation

The component was designed by the vehicle manufacturer to maintain factory mounting points and proper joint rigidity. As a result, installation is straightforward – the hinge works with the original bolts and mounts, and its kinematics are adapted to the design of the tailgate in the S212 estate body. This facilitates service and reduces the risk of improper alignment of the lid with the rear lights and bumper.

Condition and benefits of choosing a used component

The product is offered as a used part, which represents a reasonable compromise between repair costs and maintaining original manufacturing quality. Choosing this solution allows for an economical repair of a damaged tailgate or its hinge while maintaining compliance with the vehicle's factory specifications. The used component retains its structural properties and, when installed correctly, ensures stable operation of the lid in daily use.

Body integration and operational safety

A correctly selected tailgate hinge is important not only for comfort but also for safety – it is responsible for holding the lid in the desired position during loading and reduces the risk of uncontrolled dropping. The original geometry of the mounts promotes an even distribution of forces within the body, which reduces stress on the sheet metal and welds in the rear zone. Thanks to this, the lid maintains stable guidance even with frequent opening and closing.
