Can any one help me with advice on how to access the inside of the tail gate of an A Class on a 05 plate, the washer hose has blown of at the rear and need to put it back on before the boot fills with water, just can't seem to find the right place to pop the internal panel off. The wifes driving me nuts to fix it.

There's a little hatch on the inside cover that pops off. It's directly behind the wiper, can't miss it. Lever this off & you have direct access to the back of the wiper motor & the fluid connection.

Just to note however... There is a recall/modification to the washer fluid connection to prevent them popping off. If it's been off for excessive amounts of time/& or the handle is leaking it corrodes all the contacts within that trim!
