Mercedes-Benz A-Class Glove Box Replacement Parts

The Mercedes-Benz A-Class has gone through distinct generations — the W168 (1997–2004), W169 (2004–2012), W176 (2012–2018, facelifted 2015), and W177 (2018–present) — and the glove box is generation-specific, so parts will not interchange across these boundaries. If your car sits either side of a generation change, such as a 2012–2013 crossover between the W169 and W176, confirm the exact generation with the breaker against your registration before ordering. Even within a generation, a facelift refresh can bring subtle dashboard changes, so it is worth checking whether the part is pre- or post-facelift. Never assume fitment without verification.

Both years fall within the W176 generation (2012–2018), but 2014 is pre-facelift and 2016 is post-facelift — the 2015 facelift updated interior trim and dashboard details that can affect glove box fitment. These may or may not interchange depending on the specific variant, so confirm with the breaker against both registrations before purchasing. Do not assume that sharing a generation name guarantees the part is a direct swap across the facelift boundary.

For the W176 and W177 A-Class, trim levels such as SE, Sport, AMG Line, and Edition trims can influence interior finish and door count but the glove box housing itself is generally matched by generation and body style rather than trim. You may find cosmetic differences such as stitching, finish colour, or badging between trim levels, so the part from a different trim may fit correctly but look slightly different to your original. Confirm the specific part against your registration with the breaker to be sure you are getting a visually consistent match.

The glove box sits on the passenger side of the dashboard and is not directly affected by whether the car is a 3-door or 5-door body style, as the dashboard architecture is shared across those variants within a generation. Generation is the primary fitment factor here, so focus on matching the correct generation and facelift status with the breaker. That said, always confirm against your registration with the breaker to rule out any minor variant differences.

No — the glove box is an interior trim part and engine type or size has no bearing on fitment whatsoever. Whether your A-Class is a 1.3 petrol, 2.0 AMG, or a diesel variant, the glove box is the same unit across engine options within a given generation. Focus on matching generation and facelift status, and confirm with the breaker against your registration.

No — the W176 (2012–2018) and W177 (2018–present) are entirely different generations with different dashboard structures, so the glove boxes are not interchangeable. Always source a glove box from the same generation as your car, and give the breaker your full registration to confirm the correct part. Mixing generation parts in the dashboard area is unlikely to result in a proper fit.
