ML350_Colin Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 Rear hinges have been thoroughly oiled. No red button or alternative release switch is discernible. The hinge finger tabs are secured in the closed position but will not extend beyond the standard open position. Does anybody have any suggestions?

clk320x4 Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 The SL63 AMG, while a distinct vehicle, also lacks a mechanism for securing the lift cylinders, unlike my C55 AMG. Instead, it has a tiny metal locking latch affixed to the inner section of the wing inside the lift hinge mechanism on the passenger side (RHD). It is painted the same colour as the automobile, namely black (apologies for the absence of a picture), and may be difficult to detect. One must simultaneously press the little latch with one hand while manoeuvring the bonnet, which, in my opinion, represents a regression from the latching cylinders and is quite cumbersome. Could yours be identical? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ML350_Colin Posted October 4 Author Share Posted October 4 My sincere gratitude to everyone; it is really appreciated. Indeed, my impaired vision led me to overlook the little black button located at the foot of the passenger side bonnet strut. The whole press and bonnet elevated effortlessly. Battery replacement is underway after the complete battery failure experienced by my wife upon entering the gateway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
