No two headrests are quite the same across different vehicles, so getting the specifics right matters when you buy used, second hand or a replacement. Answer a few quick questions below and breakers will only quote if they have the exact matching part in stock:
The Mercedes-Benz CLA ran as a first generation (C117) from 2013 to 2019, with a facelift in 2016, so a 2014 and a 2018 car are both C117 generation but sit either side of that facelift boundary. The seat trim and headrest design may have changed at the facelift, so while the generation is the same, you should confirm with the breaker that the headrest from the specific donor car matches yours before buying. Never assume fitment across a facelift year without verification.
Yes, generation matters a great deal. The first-generation CLA (C117, 2013–2019) and the second-generation CLA (C118, 2019 onwards) have entirely different interior architectures, and headrests from one generation will not fit the other. Always tell the breaker which generation your car is so they can match the correct part.
It can, because Mercedes-Benz CLA trim levels such as SE, Sport, AMG Line, and AMG can have different seat specifications, and the headrest design or attachment may vary between them. Tell the breaker your trim level as well as your generation so they can source a headrest from a matching seat type. There may also be cosmetic differences in upholstery colour or finish even between headrests that physically interchange, so check the donor car's interior spec against your own.
For most standard front headrests on the CLA, left and right are interchangeable as they are symmetrical, but rear headrests can differ depending on seat position. It is still worth telling the breaker which seat position you need the headrest for — driver's front, passenger's front, or a specific rear position — to make sure you get the right one.
No, the engine and gearbox have no bearing on headrest fitment whatsoever. The headrest is an interior trim part that is determined by generation, trim level, and seat specification, not by what is under the bonnet. Focus your search on matching the generation and interior trim of the donor car to your own.
No, a pre-2019 first-generation (C117) headrest will not fit a 2020 CLA, which is the second-generation (C118) model with a completely different seat design. You need to source a headrest from a C118 donor car, and you should also confirm the trim level matches yours, as seat specifications can vary across the range. Always verify the part number or donor car details with the breaker against your registration.
