Used Nissan Almera Sun Visor

The Nissan Almera ran across two main generations in the UK: the N15 (1995–2000) and the N16 (2000–2006), and sun visors from one generation will not interchange with the other as the headlining and fixings differ. Within the same generation, year of manufacture matters less than generation, so a visor from the same gen is a good starting point. Always confirm the exact part with the breaker against your registration to be sure.

The N16 Almera received a facelift around 2003, and while the basic roof architecture is similar, interior trim finishes and visor mirror details can vary across the facelift boundary. Parts from either side of 2003 may physically fit, but the colour or finish might not match your headlining. Confirm with the breaker whether the visor they have is pre- or post-facelift and check it against your registration.

For the N16 Almera, UK trim levels included E, S, SE, and SVE, and the sun visor itself is generally the same across these trims within the same generation and body style. However, higher trims like the SVE may have a vanity mirror or illuminated mirror built into the visor, so the visor may look different even if the fitment is identical. When ordering, let the breaker know whether your current visor has a mirror or lighting so they can match it correctly.

Yes, this matters — the driver's side (OS, offside) and passenger's side (NS, nearside) visors are handed differently and are not interchangeable with each other. When contacting a breaker, always specify which side you need. This is one of the most common mix-ups with interior parts, so double-check before agreeing a price.

The sun visors on the Almera N16 sit at the front of the cabin and are the same part regardless of whether the car is a 3-door or 5-door, as the windscreen and roof structure at the front is shared. Door count is not a factor you need to worry about when sourcing this part. Just confirm the generation, side, and whether you need a mirrored or illuminated visor.

No — the sun visor is a straightforward interior trim part and is completely unrelated to the engine or gearbox fitted to your car. Petrol, diesel, manual, or automatic variants all share the same sun visor within a given generation and trim level. Focus instead on generation (N15 or N16), the side you need (NS or OS), and any visor features like a vanity mirror.
