A used sun visor that fits one vehicle won't always fit another - even within the same model range. These questions help breakers match stock to your exact vehicle before they quote:
The GLS has been sold across two main generations: the first-generation X166 (2016–2019) and the second-generation X167 (2020–present), with the X167 being a full redesign. Sun visors from the X166 and X167 are not interchangeable due to the different interior architecture, so you need to match the generation to your car. Confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker before buying.
Yes, the generation is the key factor — X166 (2016–2019) parts will not suit an X167 (2020–present) car, and vice versa. Within each generation, trim level can also affect the visor's finish or whether it includes a vanity mirror with lighting, so it's worth telling the breaker your trim as well. Engine choice makes no difference to sun visor fitment.
On the GLS, trim levels such as AMG Line and AMG Line Premium can influence interior finishes, and the visor may differ in terms of vanity mirror lighting or trim colour between them. If your car has an illuminated vanity mirror, it's worth specifying this to the breaker so you get a like-for-like replacement. The basic mounting and fitment remain generation-specific regardless of trim.
Yes, sun visors are handed — the nearside (NS, passenger side) and offside (OS, driver side) are mirror images of each other and are not interchangeable. Always tell the breaker which side you need, as well as your generation (X166 or X167), to make sure you get the correct part.
This crosses the generation boundary between the X166 (2016–2019) and the X167 (2020–present), which was a full model change with a redesigned interior, so fitment across this boundary is very unlikely. You should confirm directly with the breaker whether any cross-generation compatibility exists, as we would not want you to purchase a part that doesn't fit. Matching generation to generation is the safest approach.
No — the sun visor is a purely interior trim part and fitment is determined by generation and trim level, not by whether your GLS has a petrol, diesel, or hybrid engine. All GLS variants across both the X166 and X167 generations were four-wheel drive, so drivetrain is not a variable to worry about here either. Focus on matching generation, trim finish, and side (NS or OS) when speaking to the breaker.
