2009 ml350 tail gate won't latch
#3
usualy what i do first is...open the tailgate and use a screwdriver or a pen to latch the latch at the bottom on the liftgate (be sure to fully press latch firmly)...the latch should audibly latch and stay. you shouldnt be able to pull it with your finger and have it unlatch. if it latches then the latch is probably ok. if it does latch then be sure to grab the liftgate open handle to unlock the latch so you can close the liftgate.or use unlock on the remote.
could also need a striker adjustment.
also it could be the hinge at the top of the liftgate door. one of the screws can break off and cause the liftgate to not close evenly.thus not latching.
