Used Mazda Premacy Window Regulator

The Mazda Premacy was sold in the UK in two generations: the first generation ran from 1999 to 2005, and the second generation (also sold as the Mazda5) ran from 2005 onwards. The window regulator design differs between these generations, so you must match your car's generation when sourcing a replacement. Always quote your registration to the breaker so they can confirm the exact generation.

These two cars fall either side of the first-to-second generation changeover around 2005, so they are from different generations and the regulators are unlikely to be directly interchangeable. Name that boundary to the breaker and confirm against your registration before ordering, as carrying over parts across a generation change is not something we can guarantee.

Yes, it matters significantly — the nearside (NS) regulator fits the passenger side (left) and the offside (OS) regulator fits the driver's side (right), and these are mirror-image components that are not interchangeable. Always tell the breaker which side you need using NS or OS, or simply state passenger side or driver's side, to avoid receiving the wrong part.

Trim level does not affect window regulator fitment — the mechanical regulator is determined by the generation and the door position, not whether the car is a base or higher-specification trim. You may find differences in whether the motor is included or the type of switch connector depending on the exact specification, so confirm the electric or manual setup with the breaker against your registration.

For the Premacy, the rear doors are sliding rather than conventional hinged doors, which is an important detail for the breaker when sourcing the correct regulator mechanism. You should still specify NS or OS for the side you need, and confirm with the breaker against your registration that the part matches your exact build.

No — colour has no bearing on window regulator fitment, as the regulator is the mechanical or electromechanical frame inside the door and can come from a car in any colour. Focus on matching the generation, door position, and side (NS or OS) rather than worrying about the donor car's paint colour.
