Power Boot Clanging Noise

[AlexW213]

Greetings all,
I have recently upgraded the W211 for a W213 E class and am over the moon!
However, on the odd occasion (especially on a cold morning), when I open the power boot, it makes a horribly loud clanging noise when it opens fully. It almost sounds like it locks into position.
Because she's under warranty, the local stealer has seen her three times and have no clue what is causing the noise.
They have changed the motor assembly, the locking mechanism and realigned the cable (so they tell me), but the noise persists.
Does anyone have a clue what it could be?
Could it be an earth problem (shooting in the dark here!)?
I have a video of the noise and when it happens if that helps?

I have got similar issue. Mine is sometimes single, sometime repeated noise. Have you got yours sorted?

Hi, mine sometimes did multiple clunks as well. Turned out to be the latch itself. New latch assembly was swapped in under warranty and no more clanging! If your under warranty, should be done for free. Hope it helps.

Cheers for that. Glad you managed to get yours sorted. I better book mine then. It is not a big issue but very annoying/embarrassing.
