Tailgate Hatch Lock Latch Replacement for Mercedes Benz E320 E350 E500 ML320

Why did you pick this product vs others?: This product worked flawlessly right from the beginning, resolving a battery drain problem we had been experiencing due to a faulty latch motor. Despite the old motor operating silently, it caused multiple instances of dead batteries until we identified the root cause. The installation process could be smoother if the cable release bar, riveted in place by Mercedes, could be easily removed. While the bar has some flexibility for inserting and removing the latch motor, its fixed position adds complexity. Ideally, drilling out and replacing the rivets would simplify the installation, but finding rivets with the same large heads as the originals posed a challenge. Highly recommend for its effectiveness in addressing battery drain issues.

Using this on a 2007 ML350 and the fitment is fine and the cable for the emergency release fits as well. The only thing that i encountered was one of the screw holes was damaged or not threaded correctly and the screw had a hard time going in by hand, eventually just used the ratchet and made it go in. Tailgate locks fine with no noises that would concern me. If this part lasts 2 years, then it will be worth it.

Perfect. Match exactly like the original. For fraction of the cost

Fits and works great, the quality for the price is excellent, and was easy to install.

Wouldn’t pull latch tight resulting in car giving “latch open” type error message. Then failed to pull at all after 10 or so cycles. Big fail.

Works good not like original but works close to same.

Had trouble with mine as one of the bolt holes was off a little. Almost sent it back but was able to finally get it to thread and seems to work ok. Noisier than the original but that's not a big deal. Hope it lasts for a while. Installation was actually easy once I got the trim & panels off. My original trouble was the lift gate wouldn't close all the way. This fixed it so I can't complain too much.

I got this thing overnight! As soon as I figured out how to get it out of the car, I ordered it. It came to my house the next day and in less than 24hrs, the ML350 was back in business. Product looked exactly the same as the original and worked as soon as we installed it with no adaption. Very happy with the whole process.

Excelente, funcionó a la perfección

Fixes the issue with the trunk lock not unlocking electronically. The stock lock had a broken controller so the entire unit needed replacing. Drop in replacement, took a fair bit of wiggling to install and remove, as expected by Mercedes. As of writing this review the lock has been in service for 2 weeks so no comment on its durability.

Went straight in and worked, AS GOOD AS OEM.

Excelente, llego antes de lo previsto y el producto sirvió.

Es una pieza que encaja perfectamente. Es 100% funcional y muy económica comprada con la pieza original. Instalarla requiere de cierta paciencia y revisar algunos totorales de YouTube, pero lo recomiendo ampliamente.
