Fitment questions
Does the Mercedes-Benz CLE actually have a bonnet strut, or does it use bonnet stays?
Yes, the Mercedes-Benz CLE (W236), launched in 2023, uses gas-filled bonnet struts to hold the bonnet open rather than a manual prop rod, so these are genuine serviceable parts you can source from a breaker. There is typically one strut on each side, and both sides are worth checking if one has failed, as they age at similar rates.
Will a bonnet strut from a 2023 CLE fit a 2024 or 2025 CLE?
The CLE W236 is a new generation that only began production in 2023, and as of 2025 no facelift has been confirmed, so all current UK-registered CLE models should share the same bonnet strut. That said, always confirm with the breaker against your exact registration to rule out any running changes that may not be publicly documented.
Does the bonnet strut differ between CLE 200, CLE 300, CLE 300 4MATIC or AMG variants?
Engine choice and drivetrain layout do not affect the bonnet strut on the CLE W236, as the front-end structure and bonnet mechanism are shared across all engine variants within the generation. You can therefore buy from any CLE W236 donor vehicle regardless of whether it was a four-cylinder, AMG-line or 4MATIC model, and it should be compatible with your car.
Is the bonnet strut the same on the CLE Coupé and CLE Cabriolet?
The CLE is offered in both Coupé and Cabriolet body styles, and both share the same front-end platform and bonnet, so the bonnet strut is expected to be the same part across both body styles. It is still worth confirming with the breaker against your registration, as subtle differences between body styles are always possible.
Does trim level affect which bonnet strut I need — for example, Sport, AMG Line or AMG Line Premium?
Trim level does not affect the bonnet strut on the CLE W236; these are internal designations relating to equipment and cosmetics rather than changes to the front bodywork structure. Any CLE W236 donor car, regardless of trim level, should yield a compatible strut for your vehicle.
How do I make sure I'm getting the right bonnet strut when contacting a breaker?
Give the breaker your full registration number so they can verify the exact build specification of your car against their donor vehicle, and mention whether you need the nearside (NS) or offside (OS) strut, or both. The CLE W236 is a relatively new model so breaker stock may be limited, but providing your VIN alongside the registration gives the breaker the best chance of confirming a match.
