Used wiper motors 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 main generations: the W208 (1997–2002) and the W209 (2002–2009), with the W209 receiving a facelift in 2005. When sourcing a used front wiper motor, you need to match the generation first — a W208 motor will not simply swap into a W209. Always quote your registration to the breaker so they can confirm the exact build date and spec.
Both are W209-generation cars, so there is a reasonable chance the front wiper motor is shared across the facelift boundary, but the 2005 facelift did involve updates to various electrical components. Name the facelift year and your exact registration when contacting the breaker, and ask them to confirm the part number matches before purchasing.
The CLK coupe and convertible did not have a rear wiper, so if your car has one it is worth double-checking the body style and variant you actually have. Front wiper motors are the relevant unit here, and fitment is generation-specific — confirm your exact model year with the breaker to avoid a wasted purchase.
For wiper motors, trim level does not affect fitment — an Elegance, Avantgarde, or AMG-badged CLK within the same generation uses the same front wiper motor assembly. You may find cosmetic differences around the wiper arms or cowl panel trim between specs, but the motor itself is not trim-dependent. Generation and front fitment are what matter, so focus your search on matching the W208 or W209 designation.
Mercedes did share components across platforms during both the W208 and W209 eras, so there is a possibility of cross-model compatibility, but this is not something to assume without verification. The safest approach is to give the breaker your CLK's registration and ask them to check the part number against the donor vehicle before agreeing a sale.
The W208 and W209 are different generations with different bodyshells, so a direct swap across that boundary is unlikely without modification. This is exactly the kind of cross-generation question to put to the breaker with both registrations to hand, as they can compare part numbers and advise you definitively rather than guessing.
