Few comments: Sorry for my English - not native, just wanted to help everyone who's struggling with this issue. IMPORTANT: Don't forget to reattach the spring on the left side (partly visible on the left upper gear 3:56). This spring must be attached to the gear that is moved by small motor on the left Don't apply too much pressure when screwing cover - it might clog the motor Don't worry if left (small) motor is wobbling or not attached to gear - it will be pressed by the cover
I was having the issue where the latch wouldn’t engage like you mentioned in the end of the video. All your steps worked but now I can’t open the hatch. Emergency release is not working either. What would you recommend? Thank you 🙏🏽
The best detailed description and video to check and repair the truck lock. I followed your video carefully - diagnosed the fault via your recommendations - and repaired my truck lock myself. Sincere Thank You
Excellent video. It really helped me in making sure all the gears were properly positioned. Thanks a million. I actually drilled out the cover placement points and put small screws in to replace the cover.
Thanks for the video. I have same problem with my gl. Bought a replacement one on eBay for $30. It drained my battery the next day. They sent another one. Same thing happened. Will try to fix my oem one with your video.
Hi, thank you for this video, it helped a lot. I’ve noticed a problem tho, after replacing this small electro engine The lock doesn’t close entirely. There is a small gap between The trunk and the chassy. After a night when the trunk was clossd, the batery run down. Almost entirely. I can’t start the car now. Any idea why the lock doesn’t lock until the end?
I have a problem with my trunk latch, it makes no sound when you close the trunk, soft close is not working, I tooked it apart, nothing is broken 2 motors inside both work if you take them out and check separately, but in car it does not work, any ideas?
Despite our love for the Mercedes brand, the GL model from 2012 and earlier has many manufacturing defects that frustrate the soul, defects in the blind spot device, defects in oil leakage in the engine, defects in the front door lock malfunction, defects in the brakes, defects that you cannot find in a Korean or Chinese car. 😳
@@laszlorogacs1925 I am most certainly a DIY guy, therefore I value my time. The real DIY guys I know are not that precious about the country of origin of an easily-replaced body part.
@@laszlorogacs1925 Already did and it's worked perfectly for a year. The procedure took about 45 minutes total. Good luck with your cobbling. It's worth noting that the goal of DIY is to obtain professional quality results without paying a pro. No pro would ever repair a interchangeable assembly like this.
