Ford Transit Connect Windscreen Replacement Parts

The Ford Transit Connect has run in two main generations in the UK: the first generation (Mk1) ran from 2002 to 2013, and the second generation (Mk2) launched in 2013 and continues to the present day. Knowing which generation you have is the most important starting point when searching for a used windscreen, as Mk1 and Mk2 screens are not interchangeable. Check your registration plate year and confirm with the breaker if you are unsure which generation your van falls into.

2012 and 2014 Transit Connects sit in different generations — the Mk1 ran until 2013 and the Mk2 began in 2013 — so a screen from a 2012 is very unlikely to fit a 2014 model. This is a generation boundary crossing and the screens are not the same shape or design, so you should source a Mk2 screen for a 2014 van. Always confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker before purchasing.

Yes, this does matter — a heated windscreen has a fine wire element embedded in the glass and a dedicated connector, so you cannot simply swap a heated screen for an unheated one without losing that functionality (and vice versa). When requesting quotes on Findapart, tell the breaker whether your current screen is heated or unheated so they can match the correct type. Fitting the wrong type may leave you without a working heated screen or with an unused connector, so always confirm this detail upfront.

Newer Mk2 Transit Connects, particularly from the mid-2010s onwards, were increasingly fitted with forward-facing cameras or sensors for lane assist and autonomous emergency braking, which mount to a bracket bonded to or built into the windscreen. If your van has one of these systems, you need a screen with the matching bracket — fitting a plain screen will leave your ADAS system without a mount and likely non-functional. Because camera bracket and sensor compatibility can vary depending on the exact ADAS system fitted to your van, confirm this detail with the breaker against your specific registration before agreeing a purchase.

Trim level — whether your van is a base model, Econetic, Limited, or another variant — does not affect which windscreen shape or glass you need. What does matter is whether your screen is heated or unheated and whether it carries an ADAS camera bracket, as these features can appear across different trim levels independently of the trim name. When buying from a breaker, focus on generation (Mk1 or Mk2), heated or unheated, and camera bracket presence rather than worrying about matching the trim name.

The Transit Connect was offered in both panel van and Kombi (crew/passenger) body styles within the same generation, and in most cases the windscreen is the same part across these body styles as it sits in the same front-end structure. The key variables that affect fitment remain generation, heated versus unheated glass, and ADAS camera bracket presence — not whether the donor vehicle was a van or Kombi. Confirm the part against your registration with the breaker to be certain, but body style alone should not be a barrier to fitment.
