Mercedes-Benz CLA Glove Box Replacement Parts

The CLA ran in two generations: the first-generation C117 from 2013 to 2019, and the second-generation C118 from 2019 onwards, so a 2014 and a 2018 car are both first-generation models and the glove box is far more likely to be compatible than one crossing that boundary. That said, trim level and any mid-cycle interior revisions can affect the exact fit or finish, so confirm the specific part number with the breaker against your registration before buying.

No — a 2020 CLA is the second-generation C118 and a 2016 CLA is the first-generation C117, and these are completely different body and interior structures, so the glove boxes are not interchangeable. You need to source a glove box from the correct generation, so always give the breaker your full registration to confirm.

In most cases the glove box opening, surround, and basic unit are shared across trim levels within the same generation, but the finish, colour, and any illuminated or cooled-glove-box feature can vary between trims such as SE, Sport, AMG Line, and AMG. When buying used, check the colour and any feature differences with the breaker so the replacement matches your interior.

The first-generation CLA (C117) ran from 2013 to 2019 in the UK, and parts from across this range are broadly more likely to interchange than parts from different generations. However, minor interior updates can occur within a generation, so ask the breaker to check the part against your registration to be sure.

Yes, the Mercedes-Benz CLA is a standard passenger car and all variants — regardless of engine — are fitted with a glove box on the passenger side (NS) of the dashboard as standard. This is a straightforward interior part, so engine type, drivetrain, or power output have no bearing on which glove box you need.

Yes — because UK-market CLAs are all right-hand drive, the glove box sits on the NS (passenger, left side) in every UK car, so any UK-sourced glove box from the same generation should be on the correct side. Just confirm the generation, trim finish, and any features such as a lock or lighting with the breaker to make sure the part matches your car properly.
