Second Hand Mercedes-Benz Citan Sunroof

The Citan is a panel van and crew van derived from the Renault Kangoo platform, and sunroofs were not a factory-fitted option on this model in the UK market. What some Citan variants do offer is a high-roof or raised-roof body option, but that is a fixed panel, not a glazed opening sunroof. If you think your vehicle has a roof opening, it may be an aftermarket fitting or a roof vent — confirm with your breaker exactly what you are looking at before ordering anything.

On the Citan, any roof glazing is most likely a fixed skylighter-style roof window or a roof vent rather than a conventional opening sunroof. These are more common on the longer-wheelbase crew van (Citan Tourer or Mixto) body styles where rear passenger comfort matters. If you need to replace that panel, describe it to your breaker as a roof window or roof light rather than a sunroof, and give them your registration so they can identify the exact body style and wheelbase.

The first-generation Citan (W415, 2012–2021) and the second-generation Citan (W420, 2022 onwards) are built on entirely different platforms and have different roof pressings, so panels from one generation will not fit the other. Beyond the generation boundary, wheelbase — standard or long — will also affect whether any roof panel matches, as the roof geometry differs between wheelbases. Confirm the exact generation, wheelbase, and roof type against your registration with your breaker before sourcing any part.

Yes, body style matters significantly here — the crew van and Tourer variants may have rear roof windows or vents not present on the standard panel van, so the roof structure and available apertures can differ. Even within the same generation and wheelbase, the panel van roof and the crew van roof are not necessarily the same pressing. Always tell your breaker the exact body style alongside your registration to make sure you get the right part.

Trim level does not affect the fit of a roof panel on the Citan — fitment is determined by generation, wheelbase, and body style, not by whether the van is a Base, Progressive, or Style specification. However, do be aware that different trims may have different roof finishes or moulding colours, so a part pulled from a different trim level may need repainting or may look slightly different. Your breaker can advise on cosmetic differences once fitment is confirmed against your registration.

Give your breaker your full registration number so they can confirm the generation (W415 2012–2021 or W420 2022 onwards), wheelbase (standard or long), and body style (panel van, crew van, or Tourer). Also describe whether the existing part is a fixed glass panel, an opening vent, or an aftermarket sunroof, as this will help them locate the correct item. Because the Citan was sold in closely related forms across the Renault–Mercedes alliance, your breaker may also want to confirm whether any panel differences exist between allied models before supplying the part.
