Detailed Product Overview

Compatible With 2005-2011 Mercedes-Benz SLK350, 2005-2010 Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG, 2006-2008 Mercedes-Benz SLK280, and 2009-2011 Mercedes-Benz SLK300. Use URO 1717500036 when replacing a failed trunk support on these Mercedes-Benz SLK models.

Common Problems This Part Addresses

• Trunk lid drops or will not stay open

Installation Notes

Verify side and vehicle fitment before installation. OE-style end fittings are intended to simplify replacement, and the gas strut design supports a direct swap on the listed Mercedes-Benz SLK applications. Inspect the mounting points and surrounding hardware for wear before installing the new support.
