W209 boot lid

[robt123]

Morning Team,
I have a CLK 200K, 2008 model. When I open the boot with either the key or the door mounted switch it just pops open an inch or so, it doesn't open up fully. I know it's not a big deal but I regularly approach the car with heavy items which I then have to juggle to get the boot open and dump stuff inside.

Any help on resolving please? Rob

You can adjust the springs inside the boot, take a look and you will see there are 2 or 3 mounting points for the spring, just move it to the next one.

Try some spray grease on hinges etc, had similar problem very slow in opening now ok.

Has it had a boot lip spoiler added aftermarket at any point ?

Hi Russ,
Had fun getting the trim off and back on again, it's a bit awkward with the shape of a CLK. However, found the spring adjustment and it pops open now.

Many thanks, Rob
