Used Mercedes-Benz GLA Roof Panel

The GLA runs across two clear generations: the first-generation H247 predecessor, the X156, was produced from 2013 to 2020, with a facelift arriving in 2017; the current second-generation H247 launched in 2020 and remains in production. The roof panel is body-style and platform-specific, so a panel from an X156 will not carry over to an H247 – these are completely different bodyshells. Always quote your registration to the breaker so they can confirm the exact generation before supplying a panel.

Both the pre-facelift and facelifted versions of the first-generation GLA sit on the same X156 platform and share the same fundamental bodyshell, so the roof panel is generally considered the same pressing. However, mid-generation pressing changes can occur without public announcement, so confirm with the breaker against your specific registration rather than assuming a straight swap.

Trim level – whether that's SE, Sport, AMG Line, or any other grade – does not affect roof panel fitment on the GLA; the pressing is the same across the range for a given generation. You may find minor cosmetic differences such as roof rail apertures or panoramic sunroof cutouts depending on how the donor car was optioned, so let the breaker know whether your car has a panoramic roof or roof rails fitted.

Engine variant and AMG performance designation do not affect roof panel fitment – the GLA 200, GLA 250, and GLA 35 AMG all use the same roof pressing within the same generation. Generation and any sunroof or roof rail options are what the breaker needs to match, not the engine badge.

Ask the breaker to confirm the platform code – X156 for the 2013–2020 first-generation car or H247 for the 2020-onwards second-generation car – and check whether the donor had a panoramic sunroof or roof rails, as these require matching cutouts. A panel from the wrong generation will not fit regardless of how similar the cars look from the outside. Always verify against your registration plate before purchasing.

Although the GLA, CLA, and A-Class share platform architecture, they are different body styles with different rooflines and dimensions, so their roof panels are not interchangeable. Roof panels are among the most body-style-specific pressing on any vehicle, and swapping between models – even closely related ones – is not a viable option. Stick to a panel sourced from a confirmed GLA of the correct generation, and verify with the breaker against your registration.
