Ford Transit Connect Bulkhead Replacement Parts

The Transit Connect comes in two main generations: the first-generation (Mk1) ran from 2002 to 2013, and the second-generation (Mk2) ran from 2013 onwards, with a facelift arriving in 2018. A bulkhead from within the same generation should be your starting point when searching, as the two generations use completely different bodyshells. Always confirm the exact fit with the breaker using your registration before buying.

A 2015 Transit Connect is a Mk2 (2013–2018 pre-facelift) and a 2019 is a Mk2 facelift, so both sit within the same second-generation platform – that's a promising starting point. However, whether pressing or mounting details changed at the 2018 facelift is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration, as mid-generation panel changes are possible and we can't state that as fact. Don't assume it's a straight swap without that check.

Yes, wheelbase and roof height are important for a van like the Transit Connect – short wheelbase (SWB) and long wheelbase (LWB) variants can have different rear and side panel configurations, and these differences affect the bulkhead. Always tell the breaker your exact wheelbase and roof height alongside your registration so they can match the right part. Getting this wrong is a common and costly mistake.

Yes, this matters – the Transit Connect was offered with either rear barn doors or a tailgate, and the surrounding body structure differs between the two, which can affect how the bulkhead integrates with the rear of the load area. When requesting a quote, always tell the breaker which rear door configuration your van has. Fitting a bulkhead from the wrong rear-door variant is a risk not worth taking.

Trim level does not affect bulkhead fitment on the Transit Connect – a Trend, Sport, Limited, or Active all share the same bodyshell within the same generation and wheelbase. You may find cosmetic differences such as body-coloured versus unpainted finishes depending on the donor vehicle's spec, but structurally the part is the same. Focus on generation, wheelbase, and rear door type rather than trim when sourcing.

No – the Mk1 and Mk2 Transit Connect are different generations built on different platforms, and the bulkhead from one will not fit the other. Always source a bulkhead from within the correct generation for your van. Confirm the match with the breaker using your full registration to be sure.
