Used window regulators vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
The CLK ran across two generations: the W208 (1997–2002) and the W209 (2002–2009), with the W209 receiving a facelift around 2005. Generation is the single most important factor for window regulator fitment, as W208 and W209 regulators are not interchangeable. Always quote your generation or registration to the breaker so they can match the correct unit.
A 2001 CLK is a W208 and a 2003 CLK is a W209, so these sit either side of the generation boundary and the regulators are different parts. Do not assume fitment across that 2002 changeover, even if the cars look similar from a distance. Give the breaker both registrations and let them confirm against their stock.
Yes, absolutely — window regulators are side-specific, so a nearside (NS, passenger side, left) regulator will not fit the offside (OS, driver side, right) door and vice versa. When contacting a breaker, always state clearly whether you need NS or OS alongside your generation (W208 or W209). Getting this wrong means the part will not locate correctly in the door frame.
For the CLK, trim level does not affect window regulator fitment — the door structure and regulator mechanism are the same across Elegance, Avantgarde, and AMG variants within the same generation. You may find cosmetic differences inside the door card depending on trim, but the regulator itself is interchangeable across trims. Just confirm generation (W208 or W209) and side (NS or OS) with your breaker.
The W209 facelift in 2005 was primarily exterior styling rather than a full body-shell change, so the door architecture is broadly the same generation throughout. However, whether a specific pre- or post-facelift regulator crosses that boundary without issue is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration, as minor running changes can affect fitment. Quote your exact registration so the breaker can check their part against your build date.
The CLK was generally fitted with electric regulators as standard across most of the range, but whether a specific used unit will match your car's mechanism exactly is something to confirm with the breaker against your registration, as mid-range changes can occur. Make sure you tell the breaker your generation (W208 or W209), door side (NS or OS), and your registration so they can verify compatibility with their part.
