Used roof panels 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:
The Nissan Almera ran in two main UK generations: the N15 (1995–2000) and the N16 (2000–2006), and these are completely different bodyshells with no interchangeable roof panels between them. Always make sure you and the breaker agree on which generation your car is before ordering. Quoting your registration to the breaker is the safest way to confirm the exact platform.
Both 2002 and 2005 fall within the N16 generation (2000–2006), so they share the same basic platform, which is a good starting point for fitment. However, the N16 received a facelift in 2003, and whether that brought any pressing changes to the roof panel is something you should confirm with the breaker against your specific registration rather than assume. If the breaker can verify the donor car's year and body style matches yours, that gives you the best chance of a straight swap.
Yes, body style is the most important factor for a roof panel – the hatchback and saloon have completely different roof pressing shapes and cannot be swapped between each other. Always confirm with the breaker that the donor car is the same body style as yours. Getting this wrong is the most common fitment mistake with roof panels.
Yes, door count matters for the roof panel even within the same hatchback body style, as the roofline and quarter panel geometry can differ between 3-door and 5-door variants. Make sure you tell the breaker exactly how many doors your car has so they can match the correct donor vehicle. Never assume a 3-door and 5-door roof are interchangeable just because they're the same generation.
Trim level – whether GX, SLX, SE or any other – does not affect the shape or pressing of the roof panel itself, so a panel from a different trim car of the same generation and body style is perfectly usable from a fitment perspective. What you may find is that higher-trim donor cars had a sunroof aperture cut into the roof, so if your car doesn't have a sunroof (or does), make sure the donor panel matches accordingly. Ask the breaker to confirm sunroof or solid roof before agreeing the sale.
No – the Almera Tino is a completely different vehicle on a different platform and body structure, so its roof panel will not fit a standard N15 or N16 Almera hatchback or saloon. Always source the panel from a like-for-like Almera, specifying the generation and body style to the breaker. Using your registration when getting a quote helps the breaker rule out unsuitable donor vehicles from the start.
