Fitment on a used door hinge varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
No — the W219 (first-generation CLS, 2004–2010) and W218 (second-generation CLS, 2011–2018) are completely different body shells, so their door hinges are not interchangeable. Always match the hinge to the correct generation using your registration. Confirm the exact part number with the breaker before buying.
The W218 received a facelift around 2014, but door hinges are structural frame components that typically remain consistent across a facelift refresh of the same generation. That said, it is worth confirming with the breaker that the hinge from a pre- or post-facelift W218 matches your specific car, as minor revisions can sometimes affect fitment.
Yes, side absolutely matters — nearside (NS, passenger/left) and offside (OS, driver/right) door hinges are mirror images of each other and are not interchangeable. Always specify NS or OS when contacting a breaker, and double-check this against the door position you need before purchasing.
Trim level does not affect door hinge fitment on the CLS — whether the car is a standard SE, AMG Line, or another trim, the hinges are the same structural component. You may find cosmetic differences such as finish, but the hinge itself will fit regardless of trim, so focus on generation and side (NS/OS) instead.
Yes — each door on the CLS uses both an upper and a lower hinge, and these are not always identical to each other, so it is important to tell the breaker whether you need the top or bottom hinge as well as the door position and side. Providing your full registration alongside NS/OS and hinge position will help the breaker identify the correct part quickly.
The C257 (third-generation CLS, 2018 onwards) was offered as a four-door coupé saloon only — Mercedes did not produce a Shooting Brake on the C257 platform, so this comparison does not apply. If you own a C257 CLS, simply confirm the side (NS/OS) and hinge position with the breaker, and ensure the part comes from another C257 to match your generation.
