Used windscreens vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
Also known as: windshield, wind screen.
No — the MX-5 changed generation between those years, and windscreens are not interchangeable across generations. The NC ran from 2005 to 2015 and the ND launched in 2015, so a 2006 screen is NC and a 2015 could be either NC or the new ND depending on when in the year it was registered. Always confirm the exact generation with the breaker against your registration before ordering.
Generally yes — the NC generation ran from 2005 to 2015 and windscreens within that platform are broadly compatible, but you should still check whether your car has a heated windscreen or any ADAS camera bracket, as these features affect which screen will work. Confirm those details with the breaker against your registration to be sure.
Trim level does not affect windscreen fitment on the MX-5 — the glass is determined by generation and by whether heating elements or an ADAS camera bracket are present, not by whether the car is an SE, Icon, Sport Nav or any other trim. You may find minor cosmetic differences such as tinting or shade band depth between screens sourced from different cars, but these do not affect whether the glass fits. Focus on confirming generation, heated or unheated, and camera bracket requirements with the breaker.
Yes — ND MX-5s from 2016 onwards are more likely to have an ADAS forward-facing camera mounted to the windscreen, and the bracket that holds it is part of the glass assembly, so you need a screen with the correct bracket if your car has that system. Confirm with the breaker whether the screen they have carries the right bracket for your specific ADAS setup, as compatibility with your particular system cannot be guaranteed without checking against your registration.
No — the NA (1989–1997) and NB (1998–2005) are entirely separate platforms from the NC and ND, and their windscreens will not interchange with later generations. Each generation has its own screen geometry, so you need to match the part to your specific generation; confirm the exact year range of the screen with the breaker against your registration.
Yes, this matters — a heated windscreen has fine electrical elements bonded into the glass and requires the correct connectors in the car to function, so fitting an unheated screen to a car wired for heating (or vice versa) will cause problems. Check your current screen or your car's spec to establish which type you have, and confirm the replacement matches before buying from the breaker.
