Used Nissan Cabstar Window Regulator

You'll need to know the generation of your Cabstar, the side (NS for nearside/passenger or OS for offside/driver), and whether your door is the standard hinged cab door or a sliding side door if you have a crew cab body. For sliding door regulators on crew cab variants, the wheelbase can also affect fitment, so have your registration and wheelbase to hand when contacting a breaker. Never assume a part fits without confirming against your specific vehicle.

The Nissan Cabstar ran in the F24 generation from around 2006 onwards, replacing the earlier TL0/Cabstar E series, and these two generations use different cab structures meaning regulators are very unlikely to interchange. Name the generation clearly to your breaker — F24 or the earlier series — so they can source the right unit. Confirm fitment against your registration before purchasing.

Both 2008 and 2014 fall within the F24 generation of the Nissan Cabstar, so there is a reasonable chance of compatibility, but detail changes across the production run mean you should confirm the exact part number with the breaker against your registration. Side is critical — an NS (passenger) regulator will not fit the OS (driver) door, so always specify which side you need. A breaker can cross-reference the donor vehicle to yours before you commit.

Trim level — for example whether your Cabstar is in base or higher specification — does not generally affect window regulator fitment, as the cab door frame and regulator mechanism are shared across grades within the same generation. What you may find is that higher-spec vehicles have electric regulators where lower specs have manual ones, and whether a specific regulator is electric or manual is something to confirm with the breaker rather than assume. Side and generation remain the most important fitment factors.

Yes, this matters significantly — the NS (nearside, passenger side, left) and OS (offside, driver side, right) regulators are mirror images of each other and will not interchange. Always tell the breaker which side you need using NS or OS to avoid any confusion, especially as UK-specification Cabstars are right-hand drive with the driver on the OS. Fitting the wrong side is a common and costly mistake, so double-check before ordering.

For the standard hinged cab doors on the Cabstar, wheelbase does not affect window regulator fitment — the cab is the same unit regardless of whether the vehicle is short or long wheelbase. However, if your Cabstar has a crew cab with sliding side doors, wheelbase can influence the sliding door design, so confirm with the breaker using your registration if you are sourcing a sliding door regulator. For front cab doors, just give the generation and the side (NS or OS).
