A used sill 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:
No — the W163 (1997–2005) and W164 (2005–2011) are completely different generations with no shared body panels, so their sills are not interchangeable. You need to match the generation to your vehicle. Always confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker before ordering.
The W164 ran from 2005 to 2011 and received a facelift around 2008, but whether the sill pressing changed between pre- and post-facelift examples is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration, as mid-generation panel changes can vary. The generation platform is the key starting point for fitment. Don't assume a 2006 sill automatically suits a 2010 car without checking.
The W166 ran from 2011 to 2019, replacing the W164, and sills from within this generation are your starting point. However, whether pressing changes occurred across the W166's production run is something to confirm with the breaker against your registration. Matching the generation is essential before anything else.
Trim level does not affect the fundamental fitment of the sill itself, as the underlying bodyshell is the same across SE, Sport, and AMG Line variants on the same generation. However, you may find visual differences such as side skirt styling or moulding attachment points, so it is worth mentioning your trim to the breaker so they can supply a sill that matches your car's appearance. The generation is the critical fitment factor, not the trim.
The ML and GL share the same W164 or W166 platform depending on generation, but the GL is a seven-seat SUV with a longer body, which means the sills are different pressings and are not a straightforward swap. You should confirm with the breaker whether any interchange is possible for your specific year and registration. Do not assume platform sharing means panel compatibility.
Yes, the Mercedes-Benz ML has sills — they are the structural body sections running along the base of the doors between the front and rear wheel arches, present on all generations and variants of the ML regardless of engine or trim. Because the ML sits higher than a standard car, the sills can be more exposed to kerb and off-road damage, making them a commonly sourced used part. Any ML from the W163, W164, or W166 generation will have a sill that can be sourced from a breaker.
