99 Ml430 donor car parts for a 98 320

Hi All,

Apologies for asking; however, wanted to confirm before purchasing a tailgate and rims from a 1999 ml430 donor would fit on my 98 ml320.

have some nasty paint bubbling and rust on my tailgate that i want to fix and am hoping the donor tailgate will just be a swap.

My gut says it will be but wanted to check with the collective brain trust before doing so.

Thanks!

Along the same lines, will parts from a 2000 Ml430 work for me (more concerned on the trailgate then rims)

Yes, you can use any door from 1998-2000.

Here are the instructions, but you will need two people to hold the door while you disconnect the bolts. This door weighs a ton.
