Second Hand Mercedes-Benz GLA Rear Tailgate

The original GLA (X156) ran from 2014 to 2019, with a facelift arriving in 2017, so a 2015 and a 2018 are on the same platform but sit either side of that facelift year. The body shell is shared across the full X156 run, but whether the pressing and glass aperture are identical across the facelift boundary is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration before buying.

No — the second-generation GLA (H247) launched in 2020 and is a completely different platform from the first-generation X156 (2014–2019), so the tailgates are not interchangeable. Always source a tailgate from the same generation as your car.

Trim level — whether Sport, AMG Line, or Urban — does not affect tailgate fitment on the GLA, as the body pressing is the same across the range. Be aware that an AMG Line car may carry different badging or a rear spoiler lip compared with a Sport, so you could see minor cosmetic differences depending on what the breaker's part comes with; confirm with the breaker which badges and trim pieces are included.

The rear tailgate itself is not affected by whether the car has a panoramic sunroof, as the sunroof sits in the roof panel rather than the tailgate. Provided you match the correct generation (X156 2014–2019 or H247 2020 onwards), the sunroof option should not restrict your choice of tailgate.

The GLA was sold across Europe on the same platforms, so a tailgate from a continental X156 or H247 should correspond to the same body shell as your UK car. However, if there were any market-specific pressing or equipment differences between same-platform variants sold under the same name in different markets, you should confirm with the breaker against your registration to be certain before purchasing.

Both sit within the X156 generation (2014–2019), with the facelift arriving in 2017, so the underlying platform is shared. Whether the tailgate pressing, glass, or wiring connections are identical across that 2017 facelift boundary is not something that can be guaranteed here — check with the breaker and quote your registration so they can verify the part is a direct match for your car.
