Hi everyone,
I have just bought myself a 2002 W203 Estate Avantgarde and something a little odd is happening.
In strong sunshine the tailgate spoiler is expanding in the heat, bowing upwards and when the tailgate is opened the leading edge of the spoiler is catching on the trailing edge of the roof!
I have made sure that the spoiler fixings (just the 4 plastic nuts on self tapping threads that are attached to the spoiler?) are set so that the spoiler is as far back as it will go and spread sideways as far as possible, but today it's catching again.
Does anyone have any experience of this? Any thing obvious that I am missing? IE, other fixings that are not easily visible but not engaged?
Thanks, Goffy.
