I've tracked a vacuum leak down to the rear hatch actuator in my 1984 300TD. In shopping for a replacement, I keep finding ones for the passenger and rear doors, but not the hatch. They look somewhat different (see photos below, first is mine from the hatch, 2nd is the photo that I see when looking for the part online). Does anybody know if the actuator for the hatch is a different part, or is the same as the ones for the doors?

Thanks!

I know they are sold with different connectors and rods at the top, but I'm not sure if the actuator bodies themselves are the same. Fastlane sells both the door and the hatch actuators, I would get the one for the hatch so you can have the new correct connector. I believe they are @ $30 for either style.

Keep in mind for future stuff, that Fastlane doesn't list everything they sell. They can get used parts and special order stuff too.
