Fitment questions

Will a wiper motor from an R129 SL fit my R107 SL?

No — the R107 (1971–1989) and R129 (1989–2001) are entirely separate generations with different bodyshells, so the wiper motor assemblies are not interchangeable. Always confirm the exact part number with your breaker against your registration to be sure you're getting the right unit.

Does a wiper motor from a 2000 R129 SL fit a 2002 R230 SL?

The R129 ran from 1989 to 2001 and the R230 from 2001 to 2012, so this question spans a generation boundary — and wiper motor fitment does not carry across from one generation to the next. Source a motor from the same R230 generation for your car, and confirm compatibility with the breaker using your registration.

Will an R230 wiper motor from a 2005 SL fit my 2009 SL?

The R230 generation ran from 2001 to 2012 with a facelift in 2006, and wiper motors from within the same generation are generally a strong match, though the facelift can sometimes bring revised components. Confirm with your breaker against your registration before purchasing to be safe.

Does the trim level matter — will a motor from an SL350 fit an SL500 or SL55 AMG?

For wiper motors, trim level and engine make no difference to fitment — what matters is the generation (R107, R129, R230, or R231) and whether the motor is front or rear. You may find cosmetic differences such as different cowl trim or finishing panels between variants, but the motor itself is interchangeable within the same generation. Confirm the exact generation and front fitment with your breaker against your registration.

Does a wiper motor from an R231 SL fit my R230 SL?

The R231 replaced the R230 in 2012 and is a different generation with a redesigned body, so R231 motors are not a direct fit for the R230. Stick to sourcing from the same R230 generation (2001–2012) and have your breaker check compatibility against your registration.

Is the front wiper motor the same part as the rear wiper motor on the Mercedes SL?

No — front and rear wiper motors are distinct parts with different fixings, connectors, and drive mechanisms, so you must specify which you need when approaching a breaker. The Mercedes SL is a two-door roadster and does not have a conventional rear wiper in the way an estate or hatchback would, so in most cases you will be looking for the front motor; confirm exactly what your car requires with the breaker using your registration.
