Second Hand Mercedes-Benz C-Class Headrest

The W205 generation covers 2014 to 2021, so both years fall within the same generation, but there was a facelift in 2018 that introduced revised interior trim and seat designs on some variants, meaning a pre-facelift headrest may not match a post-facelift seat correctly. Trim level also matters, as Sport, AMG Line, and Avantgarde seats can differ in shape and stitching. Confirm the exact seat code and trim with the breaker against your registration before purchasing.

The W204 ran from 2007 to 2014 and the W205 from 2014 to 2021, and these are distinct generations with different interior architectures and seat designs, so W204 headrests are not a direct fit for W205 seats. The mounting post spacing, headrest shape, and upholstery styles differ between the two generations. Stick to sourcing a W205 headrest for a W205 car and confirm the trim level with the breaker against your registration.

Yes, trim level matters for headrest fitment on the C-Class because seat designs vary between trims such as Avantgarde, Sport, AMG Line, and Executive, with differences in headrest shape, bolster profile, and upholstery type including standard cloth, MB-Tex, or leather. A headrest from a Sport seat may not sit or look correct in an Avantgarde seat even within the same generation. Always confirm your trim level and seat type with the breaker against your registration to ensure a matching part.

Headrests themselves are not directly affected by door count, but the rear headrests in a saloon versus an estate (T-Model) can differ due to different rear seat configurations, so it is worth confirming the body style of the donor car with the breaker. Front headrests are generally consistent across body styles within the same generation and trim, but confirming never hurts. Let the breaker know your body style and seat row when requesting a quote.

For most standard front headrests on the C-Class, the driver (OS) and passenger (NS) headrests are interchangeable as they are typically symmetrical, but sports or AMG Line seats with pronounced contouring or integrated side bolsters in the headrest may be side-specific. Rear outer headrests are usually also symmetrical, though the centre rear headrest is a different part altogether. Confirm with the breaker whether the specific headrest you need is side-specific for your trim level.

This depends on which W204 facelift your 2014 car is, as the W204 received a facelift in 2011 and production ran through to 2014, while the all-new W205 generation also launched in 2014. A 2014 W204 and a 2012 W204 are within the same facelifted generation and headrests are more likely to be compatible, but a 2014 W205 is a completely different car and would not share headrests with a 2012 W204. Confirm your exact model year and generation with the breaker against your registration to be sure you are sourcing the right part.
