No two window motors are quite the same across different vehicles, so getting the specifics right matters when you buy used, second hand or a replacement. Answer a few quick questions below and breakers will only quote if they have the exact matching part in stock:
The G-Class W463 generation ran from 1989 through to 2018, with a significant facelift in 2012 that updated interior and electrical systems, so a motor from before 2012 may not be a straightforward swap into a post-2012 car. You should confirm with the breaker whether the motor from your specific donor year matches yours, as connector types and regulator designs can differ across that boundary. Always quote your registration so the breaker can cross-reference the exact part.
No — the W464, which replaced the W463 from 2018 and introduced an all-new platform, uses different door structures and electrical architecture, so W463 and W464 window motors are not interchangeable. Always specify which generation you need when requesting a quote, and give the breaker your registration to confirm the correct part.
Yes, this matters — window motors are side-specific because the regulator mechanism runs in opposite directions on the driver's side (OS, offside) and passenger's side (NS, nearside). When contacting a breaker, always state clearly whether you need NS or OS, and quote your registration to avoid any confusion.
Trim level and engine variant do not affect window motor fitment on the G-Class, as the door shells and regulator assemblies are shared across the range within the same generation. You may find cosmetic differences in interior door furniture between standard and AMG models, but the motor itself is governed by generation (W463 or W464) and which side of the car it's on, not the engine or trim badge.
The G-Class has been offered in both 3-door and 5-door body styles within the W463 generation, and the front door window motors are specific to each body style because the door dimensions differ between the two. Rear door motors on the 5-door are also their own fitment, so always tell the breaker exactly which door position you need, along with your registration, to make sure you get the right part.
Both years fall within the W463 generation (1989–2018), but the 2012 facelift introduced changes that may affect electrical compatibility, meaning a pre-2012 motor crossing into a post-2012 car is not guaranteed to be a direct swap. Confirm with the breaker using both the donor vehicle's and your own registration, and specify the door side (NS or OS) so they can verify the part is the correct match.
