2014-2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class W205 Saloon Boot Lid Tailgate Silver

Product Details

The Mercedes W205 Boot Lid is a replacement rear trunk lid for compatible 2014–2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class W205 saloon/sedan models. Finished in silver, this body panel is suitable for replacing a boot lid damaged by a rear-end collision, dents, scratches, corrosion, vandalism, poor previous repairs, or general exterior wear.

The W205 C-Class saloon entered production in 2014 and continued through the transition to the newer W206 generation. Mercedes-Benz parts catalogs document dedicated trunk-lid assemblies and related hardware for W205 sedans throughout this production period. For example, genuine Mercedes-Benz catalog data lists 205-750-24-00 as a trunk lid for compatible 2016–2021 C300, C43 AMG, C63 AMG, C63 AMG S, C350e, and C450 AMG applications.

The Mercedes W205 Boot Lid is suitable for Mercedes-Benz repair specialists, collision repair centers, body shops, vehicle rebuilders, used-parts suppliers, exporters, and wholesale automotive parts buyers.

Although sellers sometimes call this component a “tailgate,” the technically clearer description for a four-door W205 saloon is boot lid, trunk lid, or deck lid. A tailgate normally refers to the rear closure of an estate, SUV, hatchback, or similar vehicle.

Mercedes-Benz C-Class W205 Saloon Compatibility

The Mercedes W205 Boot Lid is intended for compatible four-door W205 C-Class sedan/saloon vehicles.

Potential applications include selected:

• Mercedes-Benz C180
• Mercedes-Benz C200
• Mercedes-Benz C220 d / BlueTEC
• Mercedes-Benz C250
• Mercedes-Benz C300
• Mercedes-Benz C350e
• Mercedes-Benz C400
• Mercedes-Benz C450 AMG Sport
• Mercedes-AMG C43
• Mercedes-AMG C63
• Mercedes-AMG C63 S

Exact model availability varies by country and production year.

Mercedes-Benz genuine parts data documents the later trunk-lid reference across C300, C350e, C450 AMG, C43 AMG, C63 AMG, and C63 AMG S applications through 2021.

VIN confirmation is still recommended because production date, market, optional equipment, and trunk hardware can differ.

Saloon / Sedan Only

The Mercedes W205 Boot Lid should primarily be treated as a replacement for the W205 four-door saloon/sedan.

It should not automatically be considered interchangeable with:

• S205 Estate / Wagon
• C205 Coupé
• A205 Cabriolet
• V205 long-wheelbase variants
• W206 C-Class
• Other Mercedes-Benz body styles

The C205 coupe and A205 cabriolet use different rear body structures and boot-lid designs.

The S205 estate uses a rear liftgate rather than the conventional sedan trunk lid.

Body style should therefore be confirmed before an order is accepted.

Important OEM Trunk Lid References

More than one genuine Mercedes-Benz Mercedes W205 Boot Lid reference appears during W205 production.

For example, Mercedes-Benz catalog data for a 2015 C300 lists:

205-750-00-75-28
Replaced by:
205-750-00-75

This early trunk lid is documented for selected 2015 C300, C400, and C63 AMG S applications.

For later W205 vehicles, the catalog lists:

205-750-24-00-28
Replaced by:
205-750-24-00

This version is documented across compatible 2016–2021 C300, 2016–2018 C350e, 2016 C450 AMG, 2017–2021 C43 AMG, and 2016–2021 C63/C63 S applications.

These examples demonstrate why the Mercedes W205 Boot Lid should be matched by VIN and original part number rather than assuming one number covers every 2014–2021 vehicle.

Silver Exterior Finish

This product is described as silver.

Mercedes-Benz offered more than one silver paint finish during the W205 generation, so the word “silver” alone does not guarantee a color match.

Possible factory colors can vary according to year and market.

Before purchasing the Mercedes W205 Boot Lid, customers should compare:

• Vehicle paint code
• Donor boot-lid paint code
• Paint shade
• Metallic appearance
• Surface condition
• Previous repainting

A used silver trunk lid may still require professional refinishing to match the customer’s vehicle.

Do not advertise a specific Mercedes-Benz paint code unless that code has been verified from the actual panel.

Boot Lid Condition

If the Mercedes W205 Boot Lid is a used genuine Mercedes-Benz component, its cosmetic and structural condition should be inspected carefully before shipping.

Important inspection areas include:

• Outer painted surface
• Lower edge
• Left and right corners
• Hinge mounting areas
• Lock mounting area
• License-plate area
• Handle-strip mounting points
• Spoiler mounting area where applicable
• Inner reinforcement

Check for:

• Dents
• Scratches
• Paint chips
• Corrosion
• Cracks
• Previous filler
• Previous welding
• Previous repainting
• Distorted edges
• Damaged mounting points

A lid can look clean externally while having hidden damage around the hinge or latch locations.

Trunk Lid vs Complete Assembly

A bare Mercedes W205 Boot Lid should not automatically be described as a complete trunk assembly.

Mercedes-Benz parts diagrams show that several components are serviced separately from the trunk lid itself. A 2021 C300 catalog, for example, separately identifies trunk hinges, sealing components, retaining pieces, and other hardware.

Depending on the actual product, the following may or may not be included:

• Hinges
• Lock/latch
• Exterior release handle
• Handle strip
• Rear-view camera
• Wiring harness
• Mercedes star emblem
• C-Class model badges
• AMG badge
• License-plate lights
• Weather seal
• Springs
• Power-close components
• Rear spoiler

The quotation should clearly state exactly what is physically attached to the supplied lid.

Rear Camera Compatibility

Some W205 vehicles have a rear-view camera incorporated into the trunk-lid area.

Other vehicles can have different camera or surround-view configurations.

Mercedes-Benz catalog data for W205 models separately lists control and trunk-related components for vehicles with features such as surround-view systems.

If the Mercedes W205 Boot Lid is supplied without a camera, a compatible original camera or associated handle assembly may need to be transferred.

Buyers should provide their VIN and photographs of the existing trunk handle/camera arrangement before purchasing a complete used assembly.

Trunk Lock and Latch Components

The lock and release system is also separate from the basic body panel.

Mercedes-Benz parts diagrams for W205 models list trunk lock assemblies, latch components, actuators, and related hardware independently of the trunk lid.

A Mercedes W205 Boot Lid should therefore not automatically be described as including:

• Trunk lock
• Latch
• Lock actuator
• Lock switch
• Keyless-Go equipment

These components should only be included in the listing when they are physically present and verified.

Spoiler Compatibility 2014-2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class W205 Saloon Boot Lid Tailgate Silver

Some C-Class W205 vehicles, particularly AMG and AMG Line configurations, may use a rear spoiler fitted to the trunk lid.  2014-2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class W205 Saloon Boot Lid Tailgate Silver

Mercedes-Benz describes certain genuine rear spoilers as being mounted directly to the trunk lid.

If the Mercedes W205 Boot Lid has previously had a spoiler installed, buyers should inspect whether mounting holes, adhesive residue, or the spoiler itself remain.

A standard replacement trunk lid may require additional preparation if the customer’s vehicle uses a specific spoiler configuration.  2014-2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class W205 Saloon Boot Lid Tailgate Silver

Do not assume a rear spoiler is included unless confirmed.

Badges and Emblems 2014-2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class W205 Saloon Boot Lid Tailgate Silver

The Mercedes-Benz star, C-Class designation, engine/model badge, AMG badge, or 4MATIC lettering can vary between vehicles.  2014-2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class W205 Saloon Boot Lid Tailgate Silver

These pieces are not part of the basic trunk lid panel specification.

When purchasing the Mercedes W205 Boot Lid, customers should confirm whether badges are:

• Included
• Removed
• Damaged
• Different from their model  2014-2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class W205 Saloon Boot Lid Tailgate Silver

Where necessary, the buyer can transfer compatible original badges from the existing lid or install the correct replacements.

Pre-Facelift and Facelift W205 Models

The W205 received a facelift during its production cycle.

Exterior lighting, bumpers, equipment, and technology changed, but Mercedes-Benz parts catalogs show trunk-lid applications spanning both pre-facelift and facelift production.

However, the existence of different OEM trunk-lid references during production means buyers should still avoid assuming unrestricted interchangeability.  2014-2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class W205 Saloon Boot Lid Tailgate Silver

For the Mercedes W205 Boot Lid, verify:

• VIN
• Production year
• OEM number
• Camera equipment
• Trunk release equipment
• Spoiler configuration
• Paint code  2014-2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class W205 Saloon Boot Lid Tailgate Silver

This is safer than using year range alone.

Professional Installation Recommended

Professional installation of the Mercedes W205 Boot Lid is recommended.

A body technician should verify alignment with:

• Left rear quarter panel
• Right rear quarter panel
• Rear bumper
• Tail lights
• Rear window area
• Trunk opening  2014-2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class W205 Saloon Boot Lid Tailgate Silver

The hinges and latch should be adjusted so the lid opens, closes, and locks properly.

Poor alignment can result in:

• Uneven panel gaps
• Difficulty closing
• Water leaks
• Wind noise
• Contact with surrounding panels  2014-2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class W205 Saloon Boot Lid Tailgate Silver

If the vehicle has experienced a rear collision, the trunk aperture and surrounding body structure should be measured before installation.

Weather Seal and Water Leakage

A correctly installed trunk lid should seal against the trunk opening.

Mercedes-Benz parts catalogs list the trunk weatherstrip separately from the lid itself. For a 2015 C300, for example, the trunk-lid diagram identifies a dedicated weatherstrip as a separate service component.

The Mercedes W205 Boot Lid should be inspected together with:

• Weather seal
• Drainage areas
• Panel alignment
• Latch adjustment  2014-2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class W205 Saloon Boot Lid Tailgate Silver

A damaged or incorrectly installed seal can allow water into the luggage compartment.

Packaging and Shipping  2014-2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class W205 Saloon Boot Lid Tailgate Silver

A Mercedes W205 Boot Lid requires protective packaging because its corners and painted surfaces can be damaged during transportation.

Packaging may include:

• Protective wrapping
• Corner protection
• Reinforced carton
• Wooden frame
• Palletized freight  2014-2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class W205 Saloon Boot Lid Tailgate Silver

Exact packaging depends on the quantity, destination, and transport method.
