Second Hand Nissan Pathfinder Sunroof

Yes, sunroofs were available on certain trim levels of the Nissan Pathfinder across its generations, including the R50 (1996–2004) and R51 (2005–2014) models sold in the UK. They were typically offered as standard or optional equipment on higher-spec trims rather than base models, so not every Pathfinder will have one. If you are unsure whether your specific vehicle was factory-fitted with a sunroof, check the original window sticker, V5C options, or confirm with a breaker against your registration.

Both the 2006 and 2010 Pathfinder fall within the R51 generation (2005–2014), so they share the same roof structure and the sunroof assembly should be compatible in principle. However, there was a mid-life refresh around 2010–2011 and it is worth confirming with the breaker whether any pressing or trim changes affected the sunroof frame or glass dimensions on your specific build date. Always quote your registration to the breaker so they can verify against the actual donor vehicle before purchasing.

No — the R50 and R51 are entirely different generations with different roof structures, so the sunroof assemblies are not interchangeable between them. The roof pressing, frame dimensions, and drain channel routing differ significantly between these platforms. You will need to source a sunroof from the correct generation for your vehicle.

Trim level does not affect the fundamental fitment of the sunroof glass or frame on the Pathfinder — the roof opening and mechanism are the same across trims on a given generation. What may differ between trims is whether a sunroof was fitted at all, and cosmetic details such as interior finisher strips or switch surrounds, so check the donor vehicle matches your setup if you want a clean finish. The structural assembly itself should interchange freely within the same generation regardless of trim.

No — the drivetrain (4WD or 2WD) has no bearing on sunroof fitment, as the roof structure is identical across drivetrain variants within the same generation. Focus instead on matching the correct generation (R50 or R51) and confirming the roof opening size with the breaker. Quote your registration to the breaker to be certain.

Give the breaker your full registration number so they can confirm the exact generation and build specification, and let them know whether your vehicle has a standard sliding glass sunroof or a panoramic panel if applicable. It is also worth clarifying whether you need the full assembly including the motor, frame, and drain tubes, or just the glass. Being specific about what is damaged or missing on your current vehicle will help the breaker supply the right parts and avoid unnecessary returns.
