Fitment on a used boot lid varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
These are from two completely different generations: the W221 (2005–2013) and the W222 (2013–2020), so the boot lids are not interchangeable — the bodyshells and panel pressings are entirely different. Always source a W221 lid for a W221 car and a W222 lid for a W222 car. Confirm the exact generation with your breaker against your registration before ordering.
Both sit on the same W222 platform (2013–2020), with a facelift arriving around 2017, and in many cases the boot lid pressing carried over — but mid-generation pressing changes are exactly the kind of detail that varies between production runs. Name your registration to the breaker so they can check whether the donor panel matches your specific build date before you commit.
Trim level does not affect boot lid fitment on the S-Class: SE, AMG Line, and other trim designations all share the same pressed steel panel on the same generation. The difference you may notice is in any chrome or gloss-black finishers, badges, or emblems fitted to the lid — a breaker will often supply the lid without those, so budget for swapping your own across or sourcing them separately.
On the W222 generation the extended-wheelbase (L) variant stretches the rear passenger compartment but the boot lid itself is the same pressing as the standard car — the extra length sits in the body, not the tailgate area. That said, confirm the wheelbase of the donor vehicle with your breaker against your registration, as fitment assumptions on stretched variants are always worth double-checking.
No — the W220 (1998–2005) and W221 (2005–2013) are separate generations with completely different body structures and panel shapes, so the boot lids will not interchange. You need to match the generation precisely: source a W221 lid for a W221 car. Give your registration to the breaker to confirm the correct generation before they pull the part.
The boot lid panel itself is the same pressing regardless of whether the original car had a camera or sensors, but the donor lid may have pre-cut holes or grommets in different positions depending on its specification. Check with the breaker whether the lid has any existing cut-outs that might not match your setup, as you may need to fill or re-drill for a clean finish.
