Second Hand Nissan Qashqai Roof Panel

No — the first-generation Qashqai ran from 2006 to 2013 and the second generation from 2013 onwards, and these are completely different platforms with different roof stampings. The roof panel is body-shell specific, so you must stay within the correct generation. Always confirm the exact year and generation of the donor car with the breaker before ordering.

Both years fall within the first-generation Qashqai (2006–2013), so the platform is shared and fitment is far more likely to be straightforward. However, mid-generation pressing changes can sometimes affect panel compatibility, so confirm with the breaker that the donor car's registration matches yours before agreeing the sale.

This question spans the first-to-second-generation boundary — the first gen ran to 2013 and the second gen began in 2013, so depending on the exact build dates involved these could be completely different body shells. Name that boundary clearly to your breaker and ask them to cross-reference both registrations against their parts data, as crossing generations means the panels will not interchange.

Trim level — whether Visia, Acenta, N-Connecta, or Tekna — makes no difference to whether a roof panel will physically fit, as the pressing is the same across the range for a given generation. What can vary cosmetically is whether the donor car had a panoramic glass roof or a standard steel roof, so make sure you source a like-for-like roof type to avoid gaps or mismatched apertures. Your breaker can confirm this from the donor vehicle's specification.

The Qashqai+2 was a seven-seat variant of the first generation with a longer body, which means its roof panel is a different pressing to the standard five-seat Qashqai. Confirm the exact body style of the donor vehicle with the breaker, and never assume a panel from a +2 will drop straight onto a standard car.

The second-generation Qashqai received a facelift in 2017–2018, and while the core platform is shared, mid-generation updates can sometimes involve subtle changes to panel pressings. Name the pre- and post-facelift boundary to your breaker and ask them to confirm compatibility against your specific registration rather than relying on year alone.
