2005 Vito W639
Hi all,

I've got some issues with the tailgate on my 2005 W639 Vito not lining up. On closer inspection at some point recently, the spring guide plates which side on the side of the tailgate appear to have completely come off on one side and come to bits on the other which is causing problems closing the boot.

The problem is I can't actually find what the parts are called to try and track down a source for replacements.

Does anyone know a common name for the parts in the pictures below?

Grateful of any suggestions!
