Ford Fusion Rear Tailgate Replacement Parts

The Ford Fusion was sold in the UK from 2002 to 2012 as a single generation, based on the Ford Fiesta Mk5/Mk6 platform, so tailgates generally come from that overall production run. However, a facelift was introduced in 2005 that may have brought pressing changes to the rear bodywork, so whether a pre-2005 tailgate crosses that boundary to fit a 2005-onwards car is not guaranteed — confirm with the breaker against your registration before buying.

A 2003 Fusion sits in the pre-facelift period, while a 2007 car is post-facelift (2005 onwards), and these two phases may have had different rear panel pressings. The generation is the same, but because the 2005 facelift is a known boundary for this model, you should confirm with the breaker whether the specific tailgate from a pre-2005 donor matches your registration before purchasing.

Trim level does not affect tailgate fitment on the Ford Fusion — the shell and hinges are the same across Ambiente, Zetec, and Ghia grades. You may find cosmetic differences such as the presence or absence of a rear wiper, spoiler, or badging depending on the donor car's spec, so check what trim the breaker's part came from if you want a like-for-like finish.

The Ford Fusion was sold in the UK exclusively as a five-door hatchback throughout its production life, so body style is not a complicating factor when sourcing a tailgate — all UK Fusion tailgates share the same body style. This makes the main things to confirm the facelift cut-off (2005) and any mid-run pressing changes, which are best checked with the breaker against your registration.

The Ford Fusion shares its platform with the Fiesta Mk5/Mk6, and some markets sold closely related cars under different names, but whether their tailgates interchange directly with a UK Fusion is not something we can state as fact. Confirm with the breaker by providing your full registration so they can check the panel against the actual donor vehicle.
