Mazda 626 Door Card Replacement Parts

The Mazda 626 ran through several distinct generations in the UK, broadly the GD (1987–1992), GE (1992–1997), and GF (1997–2002), and door cards are generation-specific so parts from one generation will not fit another. Within a generation, the door count also matters — front door cards on a 3-door and a 5-door are not the same, so make sure you specify your body style when requesting quotes. You also need to specify side: NS (nearside, passenger/left) or OS (offside, driver/right). Confirm the exact generation and body style with the breaker against your registration before purchasing.

Both a 1993 and a 1996 Mazda 626 fall within the GE generation (1992–1997), so there is a reasonable chance of compatibility, but you should still confirm the body style (3-door or 5-door) and side (NS or OS) match exactly. There were also running changes within the GE production run, so confirm with the breaker against both registrations before assuming a direct swap.

No — the GF (1997–2002) and GE (1992–1997) are different generations with different body structures, and their door cards are not interchangeable. Always source a door card from the same generation as your own car, and confirm with the breaker using your registration to be certain.

Trim level does not affect the physical fitment of the door card — what matters is the generation, body style (3-door or 5-door), and side (NS or OS). You may find cosmetic differences between trim levels, such as different fabric, stitching, or switch panel layouts, but these are preference matters rather than fitment blockers and do not stop the card from fitting the door frame. Bear in mind that a used card from a different trim may not match your interior exactly, but it will fit if the generation, door count, and side are correct.

Colour does not affect fitment — a door card that is the correct generation, body style, and side will fit regardless of colour. Trim panels can be resprayed or re-trimmed to match your interior if needed, so don't reject an otherwise correct card purely on colour grounds.

Tell the breaker your exact generation (GD 1987–1992, GE 1992–1997, or GF 1997–2002), your body style (3-door or 5-door), and the side you need — NS for nearside (passenger/left) or OS for offside (driver/right). Having your registration number to hand is the most reliable way for the breaker to cross-reference the correct part, so always include it when requesting a quote.
