Boot shock replacment
Hello since i cant find forum for wagon w211 so i have the problem with shocks when i lift the boot it dosent stay up i bought new shocks but i dont know how to change it because it has automatic open/close function so for changing them a lot of mechanics says that rear boot trim must be removed and it is very expensive does anyone have diagram or some photos how change it myself. Thanks in advance

We used to have a S211 wagon until we traded it to the dealer for a S213 wagon. And after 9 years (and minimal use), the rear hatch needed a little help when opening. The struts had to be replaced, and the rear headliner has to be removed to do that. It's a bit involved and will take about 2 hours to remove and install the new ones. Thankfully, the ones on the S213 are exposed (rather than invisible).
