Nissan Qashqai Window Regulator Replacement Parts

The Qashqai has had two main generations sold in the UK: the J10 (first generation, 2006–2013) and the J11 (second generation, 2014–2021), with a J11 facelift arriving in 2017. Generation absolutely matters for the window regulator, as the door shell and internal frame differ between J10 and J11, meaning parts are not interchangeable across that boundary. Always tell the breaker which generation yours is, or give them your registration so they can confirm.

Both 2015 and 2019 Qashqais are J11 generation, but the 2017 facelift sits between them and can bring subtle changes to door components. Whether a pre-facelift J11 regulator crosses that 2017 boundary and fits a post-facelift J11 is not something you should assume — confirm directly with the breaker using both registration numbers. You'll also need to specify NS (nearside/passenger) or OS (offside/driver) and which door position (front or rear).

Trim level does not determine which window regulator fits your Qashqai — fitment is governed by generation, door position, and NS or OS side, not whether the car is an Acenta, N-Connecta, or Tekna. You may find that higher trims had different glass or door furniture, so cosmetic differences are possible, but the regulator mechanism itself is matched to the door and generation. Confirm the side and door position with the breaker and you should be fine across trim lines.

Yes, front and rear regulators are different parts and are not interchangeable, so always specify which door you need when contacting a breaker. The Qashqai has been sold as a 5-door in both J10 and J11 generations, so breakers will expect you to state front NS, front OS, rear NS, or rear OS clearly. Getting this detail right is just as important as quoting the correct generation.

Both 2010 and 2012 fall within the J10 generation (2006–2013), so the door structure should be consistent and parts are generally considered compatible across those years within the same door position and side. Always confirm with the breaker using both registrations, as minor running changes can occur mid-cycle. Specify NS or OS and whether it is a front or rear door to make sure you get the right unit.

Whether your specific car uses an electric or manual regulator can vary and is not always straightforward to confirm by generation or trim alone, so you should check this detail against your own vehicle before ordering. Confirm with the breaker by providing your registration, as they can verify the correct type for your door. Getting the wrong mechanism type means the part will not work even if it physically fits the door frame.
