Nissan Pathfinder Seat Replacement Parts

Both years fall within the third-generation Pathfinder (R51), which ran from 2005 to 2014, so there is a reasonable chance of compatibility, but you should ask the breaker to confirm the specific seat matches your trim level and side before buying, as trim variations can affect the seat style. The R51 did receive a facelift, so confirm with the breaker whether the seat is from a pre- or post-facelift car and whether that affects fitment for your registration. Never assume fitment without the breaker checking your vehicle's details.

Yes, generation is one of the most important factors — the second-generation Pathfinder (R50, 1996–2004) and the third-generation (R51, 2005–2014) have very different interior designs and seat fittings, so seats from these generations will not interchange. Always source a seat from the same generation as your vehicle, and give the breaker your registration so they can confirm an exact match. Trim level also matters, as seat style can vary across the range.

Yes, seat style and specification can vary between trim levels on the R51 Pathfinder — higher trims such as Aventura may feature leather or heated seats, while SE or Sport trims may have cloth seats, meaning a direct swap could result in a different look or feel to your interior. The mounting points within the same generation are generally consistent, but you should confirm this with the breaker against your registration, as differences in seat electronics or fittings can still affect compatibility. Always tell the breaker your exact trim so they can supply the closest match.

Yes, front seats in particular are side-specific — a nearside (NS, passenger) seat will not correctly fit the offside (OS, driver) position, and vice versa. When contacting a breaker, always specify exactly which seat you need: NS or OS, front or rear, as well as your generation and trim. Getting this wrong means the seat simply will not fit correctly.

If the seat contains a side airbag or a pretensioner seat belt, these are safety-critical components — airbags and pretensioners are single-use and must never be fitted if they have previously been deployed. You must confirm with the breaker that these components are intact and undeployed, and whether the airbag module is compatible with your specific SRS system — this is something only the breaker can verify against your registration. Professional fitting is strongly recommended for any seat containing an airbag or pretensioner, and Findapart advises against DIY installation of safety-critical parts.

Both a 2013 and a 2007 Pathfinder sit within the R51 generation (2005–2014), but the R51 received a facelift during its production run, which can mean subtle differences in interior trim and fittings between earlier and later cars. You should name this boundary clearly when speaking to the breaker and ask them to confirm whether the specific seat crosses the facelift divide without issue for your registration. The breaker is best placed to verify compatibility once they can check both vehicles' details.
