I CANT FIX THIS ON MY WRECKED MERCEDES AMG GT

[@_LuisS]

There's a rubber stop on each side of the boot.. Those are adjustable and you should be able to adjust them to prevent the boot doing exactly that. Hope it helps. 😊

[@yhshah21]

This, they look fully wound out also

[@mattgreene01]

What I like about Chris’ rebuilds (and why everyone should subscribe, like etc.) is that unlike other youtubers you can see that he genuinely pays attention to little things and doesn’t leave bits dirty when putting it back together. He found that bit of plastic and proceeded to vacuum and clean the whole area - that’s what I like to see. A proper detailer’s mark is the attention to detail.

[@whracing]

Lolz. I did this whilst adjusting my handbrake cable. Found some dirt beneath the centre console which turned into taking out the seats and clean the entire interior lol

[@martinbonomo1707]

The upholsterer is a true craftsman. Beautiful work.

[@danwalker84]

Is there a soft close mechanism on the boot not activating and pulling it fully closed? That’s what it looks like.

[@Chris_Slix]

Not a bad shout dan!

[@itsacarthing]

Plug in your computer to run a relearn on the boot closing function. Same as you can do on the windows etc.

[@jeremyrooks6911]

If the relearn doesn't fix soft close then motor is probably bad. Replace them all the time

[@flickit6825]

Came here to say exactly this. It should pull it tight after the first catch. Sure there’s some sort of cable or something that pulls it tight.

[@chrisanslow]

Exactly what I was thinking. Sounds about right.

[@AIGuys-Online]

I found Mat Armstrong at 75k subscribers. You are at 153k. I love this channel. I love where you are in your journey. Best of luck Bro !!!

[@Chris_Slix]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@LUK34VIDs]

When running in the power steering fluid you’re probably better to start with the wheels in the air so there’s no resistance and it won’t cause any damage

[@garryporton8458]

Does the bootlid have a soft close mechanism that maybe isn't working? It might pull it down more once it latches. Just a thought

[@BiglumpADV]

Chris always lift the front wheels off the ground to bleed the steering system. Takes the pressure off of the pump while you rotate the wheels and get the air out. Also make sure you start the process in the straight ahead position, only start turning once the system stops taking fluid as it'll bleed the final air out, and not draw any air in if you keep the fluid level up

[@Pipes1974]

That piece of plastic is a cover for the battery terminal good job the yellow trim looks spot on 💪

[@BTheJourney66]

The yellow accents on the seats are a nice touch, looks amazing!

[@vadeka]

yeah but the amg logo is really terrible IMO, looks like someone tried to slap on a cheap sticker

[@darrenhook7904]

Turn the rubber stops on each side to adjust the boot lid rattle ive had this problem on other cars before and it worked for me

[@paultossell1455]

You deserve big success Everyone on your channel kerps trying to compare you to matt and i think its unfair You are very different Matt is full of energy in his vids Where your vids are either longer or seem to have much more crammed into them so we get more content per episode keep it up chris dont change your smile It maybe slow goin but kerp doing what your doin and your chanel will get up there with some of the big channels 🎉

[@yunushussain1454]

You need some matching yellow seatbelts to finish of the interior!

[@Christianlloyd65]

Matt black wrap with graphite grey wheels and yellow calipers 🔥

[@angelostevens2311]

Slix those seats came out beautiful... That yellowing inbetween... I must say ... Beautiful.....

[@ukcarflippers2220]

Like the window you can do a relearn on the boot self closing mechanism also make sure absolutely everything is plugged in as I can be a issue that a door electronics can be linked to the boot etc so plug everything in do the relearn and it should be good

[@michaelsash9813]

The interior looks amazing!

[@3bdula23]

Your taste on the interior colors is so exquisite and elegant

[@leerowley8191]

Enjoy the vids no house tours or track racing just fixing cars,keep it up❤❤

[@slowandsteady4679]

That interior looks insane

[@lv7724]

Hi Chris, regarding your backdoors.. There could be 2 scenarios. I have a theory: 1.) Soft close (servo is broken) , 2.) During the crash accident the locker got the shock to the mechanism and it caused the move of the beak in the locker.

[@knoxyish]

door seal some thing has moved out .

[@SilvaMoks]

You make this build look so easy lmao. You pay so much attention to detail.

[@Hardupgarage]

smashing it out the park matey!! keep making epic content legend!

[@NorthWalesPiscator]

Those seats are amazing the trimmer has done a stunning job. New yellow seat belts? You know where to go. Don’t forget the mats Chris lad. This car is going to be another Chris Slix monster.

[@timdurkin2774]

There’s a secondary soft close motor, check the lower latch section and there will be cable that runs to the side and into a motor. This motor will be seized and once replaced the soft close will activate and shut the boot to fully closed position. Hope this helps Chris.

[@ripredowski1376]

GO for 250K subscribers Chris!!! You'll make it. After that its a million, no sweat. Keep the content coming.

[@DellaBates-wt2yl]

Your channel's commitment and sincerity are truly special. Congratulations

[@0o0-D1]

Definitely agree love Chris’s dedication and commitment to his channel.

[@spexicano]

It's not wrong though 😂😂

[@freakout2k]

You might try to adjust the rubber dampers on the trunk. One on each side. They can be adjusted in and out

[@KevinManson-sp6bl]

Interior looks mint. Reckon you should treat her to yellow seat belts though 👌

[@joshherbst9511]

Chris! You deserve all you have mate! Well done! Absolutely love your videos and you are consistent!🇿🇦

[@ZaidRS5]

Nice seeing you and Jack Builds It start YT through help from Mat and Freddy. Everyone helping each other to get bigger and bigger!

[@smogmonster4077]

Really enjoying this build Chris, however I do think you need to look at investing in some yellow seat belts, or at least some seat belts with yellow accents

[@sleepysamk1400]

Slowly but surely Christopher It’s coming along nicely 👍👍👍👍

[@markl8473]

Great work as always. Boot catch, as others have suggested soft close maybe. Also I had a similar issue on other latches in the past. Some latches have two positions, one to catch and second on be fully closed. Try adjusted the other way (opposite of what you tried in the video) so the latch can reach the second point. Worth a shot. Mark

[@capocooktops7154]

The fan is a common problem with almost all Mercedes that share that same Module. The problem occurs with having the. Fan mounted directly under the wiper cowell. Hit the underside of it with an open hand once or twice and it should go away. A quick fix, but it will fail in time. Hope this helps!

[@Wesows]

I 2nd the comment about the soft close not fully working its not fully latched hence the movement the lock sapose to engage after the boot lid latch goes into its lock to then fully lock which pulls the boot down

[@ArfansYT]

Wrap it Matt black with yellow calipers ! Car interior looks awesome Chris !

[@syedijaz835]

Chris, the interior looks great. To top it off, get the seat belts in yellow too . Best of luck....

[@ShaunWilson-g8l]

Starting to come together and it looks mint.

[@sugarskulldigital7769]

They're such beautiful cars I like the blue but love them in green.

[@iandalton3839]

If it's latched and rattling with it being high against the quarters too, the latch mechanism on the body must be too high. The adjustment you did is for front to back if the latch doesn't engage. Yours does, so, although yes, there should be some rubber stops, they should only stop it when it is positively latched in the correct position, so I still say the latch mechanism is too high.

[@jimmypratt6450]

My thoughts are if its had a wack on the rear wing that would put the boot panel out and all you can do is adjust everything the best you can it will never be perfect unless you jig it which should have been done first . Good luck great vid 👍

[@calimbo-bg6oz]

do a face lift and a wing it will look amazing

[@HaworthJimmy]

Wonder if the boot has a slow close for the last bit that’s not kicking in

[@MmushiMoloto]

I totally agree

[@IlllllIIIIIIlI]

Latches have 2 stages half closed and closed. When you pulled the anchor in it is now only hitting the half closed. Pull the anchor down a little bit more. That’s if it doesn’t have soft close and that’s not working.

[@thomcoke]

Those car seats look incredible, the lads have smashed it there love it !

[@Gibboplay]

Great video that mate. Nice to see you getting stuck in just you, the car and the camera. Hell of a project this one. Look forward to seeing what you do with it.

[@miketatler3389]

Keep up the good work Chris

[@RantsBants]

I was going to say slowly but surly getting there but there was nothing slow about it!! Well done fella great work

[@timbennett43]

Soft closer will pull the boot in so that’s probably what’s missing. You won’t have it on the doors but most auto boots on Mercs have soft close.

[@gcdriveway]

Interior looks mint Well done

[@andrewdgregson]

Car’s looking good dread to think what you’ve spent on it though. 250k subs come on you’ll smash it 👍

[@gavinstreet9694]

Wow those seats looking amazing, love that interior 😊

[@tomladdus9264]

Love the seats.

[@IHaynes]

Amazing video as always Chris! Keep it up

[@90tommys]

Well done Chris - was wondering when the next instalment was going to land and it didn't disappoint. Interior looks lovely and looks like you've got some suggestions in the comments on how to sort the boot alignment. Keep it up!

[@MrAdy993]

I really feel like you’re gonna enjoy this car the most😁 good luck Chris!👌

[@Chrisfields2011]

Interior looking good

[@Rich_padley]

Bump stops are adjustable, wind them all the way in, then adjust them out until you are happy

[@mictaylor9531]

Cracking video Chris! The car is coming along really well and looking smart as!

[@Gazbo_Fabrications]

Anti trap or soft close 🤷🏻‍♂️ Would it fully close upon remote locking

[@edasheg6]

Those seats are mint! 💎

[@karl.bobrowski]

Chris silly question but shouldn’t there be a pollen filter in the fan assembly

[@rustysparks8645]

Nice interior upgrades - your rebuilds just keep getting better everytime. 👍👍

[@NaxosMt2]

Hello Chris you can certainly adjust the trunk to close perfect . Now about the why, and how it happened, that car had a serious damage, have you thought that the whole car is bended? I mean the pillars were bended, are you sure it didnt pull the whole roof from its original place? Good Luck with the car i love your videos

[@user-len77xx]

Its the knock on effect of the crash, with the A pillar and the cracked roof, ether the car is out of square or the hinges are buckled

[@Phuuuu]

I had this exact issue with my facelift C class coupe. It would leave a 1cm gap when closing, turns out it was the gear motor that controls the latch which was replaced under warranty.

[@Chris_Slix]

Was it the full latch that was replaced?

[@NLPCat]

The new interior makes the car looks 10 years younger and 100k more expensive.

[@grayzbildz]

You need to move the latch loop up not down to increase closing pressure.

[@RJDBlink182]

Interior looking 10 10

[@andrewb6541]

Well done on the background music....!!

[@moa6324]

Amazing job on the seats - very nice interior 👍🏼👍🏼

[@willbarratt3825]

Your best VIDEO This year ! BECAUSE You didn’t have that Big Daft DOBBER in it You know who we Mean 😅

[@xboxozzy]

I second that. Ruins the vids

[@motivesupplies]

Great progress again. Interior will be SO nice ✅

[@cabottaxi]

Coming along a treat.

[@michaelcurrie58]

Those seats are mint 👌

[@jameswardle5936]

Could be the rubber bump stops. Not sure if it's this car or I'm getting it confused with another car/channel was the glass roof not damaged? If so would that not impact the alignment of the boot?

[@hugowalters]

Looks like theres a buckle in the boot on the top left hand side? Certainly looks like it when your hex lights are on it.

[@Aussiecruiser1.]

Soft close on the boot latch maybe? Great job mate

[@hands197]

Cracking video Chris. Was the part inside the fan the top of the battery terminal??? Loving this build 👍

[@markwells7363]

Is the boot lid soft close? If the soft close isn't working it won't pull the boot lid / hatch into its final position.

[@MassifLad]

Do the rubber stops on the outside tips of the boot lid not have screwable adjustments? My Model Y arrived new with a horrible boot gap on the left hand side, but I fixed it by screwing those in/out to level it.

[@rightbuildersfinn7180]

The AA have been called out because keys locked in boot and the AA have probably used a pump bag on it the side that is high adjust hinge on the side you want it to go lower xxx

[@chrisleech333]

Looking good Chris

[@luckysaivlogs2023]

Please add facelift headlights and spolier as amg gt black series

[@leejonesAngling]

Well done Chris mate 👍👍

[@jeremyrooks6911]

The cover u found in blower motor looks to go on the battery terminal

[@tomslow4756]

What Dan walker said or the latch hook it's self could have bent from any impact

[@ralphralphin]

The frame might be bent as the side that won't click is the side that got hit. A frame machine will tell you really fast if that's the issue

[@mattsennett]

Top work Chris and good to see it coming together nicely 👍🏻

[@micro2877]

which side was the quarter panel damage on? I wouldn't be surprised if the boot hinge on that side is pushed in slightly on that side

[@dentalert]

Adjust the hinges on boot lid with struts disconnected.

[@danarmstrongmusic]

Good work Chris. Looking brilliant. What's the final plan with this car?

[@BruceLee-wm5ce]

Well done Chris it’s looking much better 🔥🔥❤️

[@releasedmike]

Your a pillar looks to be bent unless it’s just the light hitting it on camera giving it that impression

[@garycoop1695]

Chris does your rear boot latch have an actuator which isn’t pulling down the last bit of the boot tightly like my bmw 5 series tourer hatch has?

[@panoskranidiotis184]

Well done Chris

[@chrisroberts1411]

I was expecting it to be the illusive 10mm socket in the fan 😂

[@garethpeters5810]

Was that the Pole connection cover you pulled out of the fanbox?

[@MobileValeterStirling]

Chris your doing great bro . 🎉

[@masonwilliams7462]

Let's GOO! CHRISS!!!!

[@masonwilliams7462]

That yellow trim
