Fitment questions

Will a rear view mirror from an earlier CLK fit my later one – do the two generations interchange?

The CLK ran across two main generations: the W208 (1997–2002) and the W209 (2003–2009), with the W209 receiving a facelift around 2005. Interior mirrors are generation-specific, so a W208 mirror will not cross over to a W209 or vice versa. Within the W209, a pre-facelift and post-facelift mirror may differ in design or mounting, so confirm with the breaker against your registration before buying.

Does the year of the CLK matter when buying a used rear view mirror?

Yes – the generation matters most, as the W208 (1997–2002) and W209 (2003–2009) use different mirror designs and mountings. Within each generation, detail differences can exist around the 2005 W209 facelift, so always give the breaker your registration to verify the exact part. The engine variant makes no difference to rear view mirror fitment.

Does the trim level affect which rear view mirror I need for my CLK?

For most CLK trim levels – Elegance, Avantgarde, and AMG – the basic rear view mirror mounting and fitment are the same within a generation. However, higher-spec trims may have auto-dimming or integrated features that differ cosmetically or electrically from a base mirror, so check whether the donor vehicle's mirror matches your specification. A breaker can confirm this against both registrations.

I have a CLK Coupe – does the mirror from a CLK Convertible fit?

The CLK was sold in both Coupe and Cabriolet bodystyles throughout the W208 and W209 generations, and the interior rear view mirror fitment is generally shared across both bodies within the same generation. That said, differences in roof lining or headlining fixing points can occasionally affect compatibility, so it's worth confirming with the breaker that the donor vehicle's body style matches yours.

Does engine size matter – will a mirror from a CLK 200 fit a CLK 500?

No, engine size has no bearing on rear view mirror fitment whatsoever. What matters is that both vehicles are from the same generation (W208 or W209) and carry the same feature specification, such as auto-dimming or a built-in compass or microphone. Confirm the specification of the donor mirror with the breaker to make sure you get a like-for-like replacement.

My CLK mirror has auto-dimming – do I need to match that when buying a used one?

Yes, if your original mirror is auto-dimming you should source a matching auto-dimming unit, as the wiring connections differ from a standard mirror and swapping type can mean the function does not work. Auto-dimming mirrors were more commonly fitted to higher-specification trims such as Avantgarde and AMG on the W209. Ask the breaker to confirm the donor car's trim and mirror specification against your registration before purchasing.
