Fitment questions
What years does the Mercedes-Benz CLK rear tailgate fit across?
The CLK ran across two clear generations: the C208 (first generation, 1997–2002) and the C209 (second generation, 2002–2009), with a facelift on the C209 arriving around 2005. Tailgates are generation-specific, so a C208 part will not fit a C209 and vice versa. Within each generation, confirm with the breaker against your registration whether the facelift brought any pressing changes to the tailgate panel itself.
Will a pre-facelift CLK tailgate fit a post-facelift CLK (C209)?
The C209 facelift arrived around 2005, and while the overall body structure remained the same generation, there can be subtle pressing or trim-mounting differences between pre- and post-facelift tailgates. Name the boundary confidently: 2002–2005 is pre-facelift, 2005–2009 is post-facelift. Whether a tailgate crosses that boundary cleanly is something you should confirm with the breaker against your exact registration before buying.
Does the CLK coupe tailgate fit the CLK cabriolet?
No — the CLK coupe and cabriolet have completely different rear bodywork, and the cabriolet does not use a conventional tailgate in the same way as the coupe. Always make sure the donor car matches your body style exactly, and tell the breaker which variant you have when requesting a quote.
Does trim level affect which CLK tailgate I need — for example, does an Elegance tailgate differ from an Avantgarde?
Trim level does not affect tailgate fitment on the CLK — an Elegance, Avantgarde, or Sport tailgate from the same generation and body style will physically interchange. You may find cosmetic differences such as badging, spoiler presence, or glass trim finish between trim grades, so check with your breaker what is included and whether it matches the look you need.
I have a 2004 CLK — will a tailgate from a 2001 CLK fit it?
A 2001 CLK is a C208 first generation (1997–2002), while a 2004 CLK is a C209 second generation (2002–2009), so these are different platforms and the tailgate will not interchange. You need a C209 donor car for your 2004 model; confirm the exact year and body style with the breaker against your registration to make sure you get the right panel.
Does the engine or spec affect which CLK rear tailgate I need?
Engine and specification make no difference to CLK tailgate fitment whatsoever — whether your car is a 200K, 320, 500, or AMG-engined variant, the tailgate is determined by generation (C208 or C209) and body style, not what is under the bonnet. Focus your search on matching the generation and body style, and let the breaker cross-reference your registration to be sure.
