The GL\/GLS X166 is a full-size, three-row luxury SUV, and its tailgate is among the largest and heaviest in the entire Mercedes-Benz lineup. The fabric pull handle mounted to the upper inner tailgate panel is the only proper grip point for closing the lid safely, making this a critical comfort and safety item for any X166 owner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ecarpet tailgate pull handle\u003c\/strong\u003e in the X166 absorbs exceptional loads. The vehicle's full-size footprint means a very large, very heavy tailgate that takes a deliberate, sustained pull to bring down to latch. Under these forces, the fabric loop frays quickly at its high-stress contact zone, and the plastic mounting clips — subject to cold-weather fatigue — can separate from the tailgate liner entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Mercedes Models\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMercedes-Benz GL-Class X166\u003c\/strong\u003e — 2013 to 2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMercedes-Benz GLS X166\u003c\/strong\u003e — 2016 to 2019\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncludes GL 350 BlueTEC, GL 400, GL 500, GL 63 AMG, GLS 350d, GLS 400, GLS 500, GLS 63 AMG — all engine variants.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAvailable in \u003cstrong\u003eBlack, Black \u0026amp; Chrome, Brown and Beige\u003c\/strong\u003e to match all X166 interior colour specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Handle Wears Rapidly on the X166\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe X166 tailgate is a benchmark for load requirements among SUV tailgate handles. Repeated closures concentrate enormous tensile force on the small fabric contact zone. The mounting clips — pressed into a deep plastic liner — face cumulative fatigue that is especially pronounced in cold climates. Once either clip releases, the handle requires immediate replacement to avoid damage to the tailgate panel or the owner's hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat You Receive\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA single \u003cstrong\u003ereplacement carpet tailgate pull handle\u003c\/strong\u003e with integrated mounting clips:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlack\u003c\/strong\u003e — for standard black leather and Artico interiors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlack \u0026amp; Chrome\u003c\/strong\u003e — for AMG Line and designo sport specifications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrown\u003c\/strong\u003e — for brown leather interior packages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBeige\u003c\/strong\u003e — for Silk Beige and designo beige colour specifications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy This Part Is Worth It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFits both\u003c\/strong\u003e GL X166 (2013–2015) and GLS X166 (2016–2019)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt to withstand the exceptional pull loads of the full-size X166 tailgate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in four colour finishes for any X166 interior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTool-free clip-in installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore all \u003ca href=\"\/en-ie\/collections\/mercedes\"\u003eMercedes-Benz parts and accessories\u003c\/a\u003e, our \u003ca href=\"\/en-ie\/collections\/interior\"\u003einterior car parts range\u003c\/a\u003e, and our \u003ca href=\"\/en-ie\/collections\/interior-trims\"\u003einterior trims collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Euro Premium Parts","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":63460638196042,"sku":null,"price":34.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \u0026 Chrome","offer_id":63460665885002,"sku":null,"price":34.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Beige","offer_id":63460665917770,"sku":null,"price":34.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown","offer_id":63460665950538,"sku":null,"price":34.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/8814\/1364\/files\/11_d77ee969-ada4-4b3d-bf1b-6bacb5cc9af6.webp?v=1788865626","url":"https:\/\/europremiumparts.com\/en-ie\/products\/replacement-carpet-trunk-handle-for-mercedes-gl-class-x166-gls-x166-2013-to-2015","provider":"Euro Premium Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
