Cheap Nissan Pulsar Sunroof

The Nissan Pulsar (the C13 generation hatchback sold in the UK from 2014 to 2018) was offered with a panoramic sunroof as an option or on higher specification trim levels, so it does exist on some examples but was never standard across the range. If you are looking for a used sunroof for your Pulsar, you will need to confirm with the breaker that the donor car actually had one fitted, as many UK examples will not. Your registration and the breaker's records will be the quickest way to verify whether your specific car left the factory with the aperture and mechanism required.

The Nissan Pulsar C13 ran in the UK from 2014 to 2018 as a single generation, so the body shell and roof pressing remained consistent throughout, and there was no significant mid-generation body change that is publicly confirmed for the UK market. In principle, sunroof units from any year within that 2014–2018 range should be compatible, but because panel and mechanism specifications can sometimes change quietly during a production run, you should confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker before purchasing. Never assume fitment is guaranteed solely on year.

Trim level does not affect whether a sunroof mechanism or glass will physically fit your car, as the roof aperture and mounting points are determined by the body shell, not the specification grade. However, you should be aware that higher trims such as N-Connecta or Tekna were more likely to have had a panoramic sunroof fitted, so sourcing from a matching trim donor simply makes it more likely the breaker's car actually has one. The practical consideration is that both the glass panel and the blind or cassette mechanism need to come from a sunroof-equipped car regardless of trim, so confirm the donor vehicle has the full assembly.

A sunroof is a complex assembly involving a roof aperture, drainage channels, a motor, and a headlining that must be sealed correctly to prevent water ingress, so it is not a straightforward DIY job for most home mechanics. If your car was not originally built with a sunroof, retrofitting one from a breaker is a significant structural and trim undertaking and is generally not recommended on a used car. If your car already has the aperture and you are replacing a faulty unit, a body specialist or auto-glass fitter with experience on this type of sunroof would be the appropriate choice.

Sourcing a used sunroof mechanism, glass, or seal set from a breaker is a common and cost-effective route for Pulsar owners, particularly given that new parts for this model can be expensive or difficult to find as the UK dealer network no longer sells new Pulsars. When contacting breakers through Findapart, specify whether you need the glass, the motor and cassette mechanism, the drain seals, or the full assembly, as these are often stripped separately. Ask the breaker to confirm the mileage and condition of the sunroof on the donor car and check that the part is from a like-for-like C13 Pulsar rather than another Nissan platform.
