The trunk space on your vehicle is an area where you load and unload items often. You store gear and items in the trunk of your Mercedes, and you expect the lid to be easy to open and shut. On older car models, there used to be manual sticks used to prop open the hood or trunks of vehicles. However, modern vehicles were designed with spring loaded latches that work to keep the trunk popped open. This makes the process a lot more convenient so you can easily go back and forth to the trunk without having to keep it propped open yourself. Over time, the spring loaded support shocks on your trunk do have the potential to wear out. This can make the trunk lid on your vehicle hard to open or shut, or it can cause it to slowly shut after opening. It's important to take care of your trunk lid, so if you need replacement parts, find them here for your Mercedes-Benz.
