Tailgate
In the new Audi A6 Avant ´05, an inner tailgate hinge
is implemented for the first time.
The hinge is attached to the upper roof crossrail at
the rear so that it is located behind the tailgate seal,
and thus inside the occupant cell.
When the tailgate is closed, the hinge is concealed
behind the trim panel and is not visible from the
interior.
This hinge arrangement and function has the
following advantages:
–no corrosion,
–no sealing problems,
–internal wiring,
–no grommets are needed to seal through-holes
in the body,
–larger cargo area
possibility for electric tailgate drive.
