Second Hand Ford C-Max Window Motor

The Ford C-Max first generation ran from 2003 to 2010, so a 2004 and a 2007 are within the same generation and the window motors are generally considered interchangeable, provided you match the correct side (NS or OS) and door position (front or rear). However, confirm with the breaker against your registration as minor running-change variants can affect the regulator and motor assembly. Never assume fitment without that check.

The first-generation C-Max was facelifted in 2007, and the second-generation C-Max (also known as the Grand C-Max shares a platform but is a distinct model) launched in 2010. Within the first generation, motors from before and after the 2007 facelift may differ, so crossing that boundary is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration rather than assume will work. Always quote your registration and the exact door (front/rear) and side (NS/OS) when asking.

For the Ford C-Max, trim level does not affect window motor fitment - the motors are determined by generation, door position, and side (NS nearside passenger, OS offside driver), not by whether the car is a Zetec, Titanium, or another trim. You may find minor cosmetic differences in the surrounding trim pieces, but the motor unit itself is not trim-specific. Confirm the correct side and door with your breaker and quote your registration to be safe.

Yes, side absolutely matters - a nearside (NS, passenger left) motor is not the same as an offside (OS, driver right) motor, and fitting the wrong side will mean the motor runs in the wrong direction or does not fit the regulator correctly. When contacting a breaker on Findapart, always specify NS or OS and whether you need a front or rear door motor. Quoting your registration helps the breaker pull the correct unit.

The Grand C-Max (2010 onwards) and the standard C-Max (second generation, also from 2010) are related but distinct models with different body structures, so the door motors are not a straightforward swap. The Grand C-Max is a longer, seven-seat MPV and its door dimensions differ from the five-seat C-Max, meaning the motor and regulator assemblies may not be compatible. Always confirm with the breaker by quoting both vehicles' registrations before purchasing.

The second-generation C-Max ran from 2010, with a facelift arriving around 2015, so a 2011 car is pre-facelift and a 2015 car sits at or just after the facelift boundary. Motors from either side of that facelift may or may not interchange, and this is exactly the kind of boundary you should confirm with the breaker against both registrations rather than assume compatibility. Make sure you also specify the correct door (front or rear) and side (NS or OS) when asking.
