Mercedes-Benz SLK Sun Visor Replacement Parts

Yes, the SLK does have sun visors — despite being a roadster with a folding hard-top roof, it retains interior sun visors on both the driver and passenger sides above the windscreen, just as a conventional car would. They're a standard interior fitting across all SLK generations.

No — the R170 (1996–2004) and R171 (2004–2011) are completely different generations with different interior architectures, so the sun visors are not interchangeable. You'll need a visor from the correct generation to match your car. Always confirm the part against your registration with the breaker before buying.

Both the pre-facelift and post-facelift R171 share the same basic interior structure, so fitment is generally likely, but there can be trim-finish differences between earlier and later cars. Confirm with the breaker against your registration to be sure the colour and finish match before purchasing.

The engine variant (200 Kompressor, 280, 350, 55 AMG, etc.) makes no difference to sun visor fitment, as the visor is purely an interior fitting. However, higher trim levels or AMG models may have different interior colour schemes or illuminated vanity mirror finishes, so check the colour and spec of the used visor matches your interior before buying.

Yes — driver's side (OS, offside, right-hand side in a UK right-hand-drive car) and passenger's side (NS, nearside, left) visors are different parts, so always specify which side you need when contacting a breaker. If your visor has a lighted vanity mirror, mention that too, as not all cars were fitted with illuminated mirrors and the parts differ.

The R172 ran from 2011 to 2020 and received updates during its life, but the core interior fitting points for sun visors remained consistent within the generation. Minor trim or finish variations are possible across the model run, so confirm the colour and any vanity mirror spec against your registration with the breaker to avoid a mismatch.
