Used Peugeot 306 Roof Panel

The 306 ran as a single generation from 1993 to 2002, so you're working within one platform throughout, which is a good start. However, body style is the critical factor: the hatchback, saloon, and estate each have a completely different roof panel and none will cross over. Make sure any roof you source matches your exact body style and door count (3-door or 5-door hatchback panels are not the same), and always confirm the specific pressing against your registration with the breaker before buying.

The 306 received a significant facelift in 1997, which brought updated body panels and styling changes. Both pre-facelift (1993–1997) and post-facelift (1997–2002) cars share the same underlying platform, but whether the roof pressing itself changed at that point is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration, as mid-generation pressing changes are not something we can state with certainty. Keep your body style and door count consistent whichever side of 1997 your donor car falls on, as those differences absolutely do matter.

Trim level — whether your car is an XR, SR, XT, XSi, or Meridian — makes no difference to roof panel fitment, as the pressing is determined by body style and door count, not spec level. The main practical difference you may notice is that a donor roof from a different trim could carry different paint or a different sunroof aperture if one car had a factory sunroof and the other did not, so check for that with the breaker. Confirm body style and door count match, and trim level can be ignored for fitment purposes.

No — the 3-door and 5-door 306 hatchback roof panels are not interchangeable, as the door apertures and overall pressing dimensions differ between the two. Always tell your breaker whether your car is the 3-door or 5-door body when requesting a quote. Trim level is irrelevant here; it's the door count that determines which panel you need.

No — the estate and hatchback have entirely different rooflines and panel shapes, so a roof from one body style will not fit the other. The estate's roof extends to a different rake and length compared with the hatchback, and the pressing is specific to each body style. Always source a roof that matches your exact body style, and confirm this with the breaker when you get in touch.

Your 1996 donor sits in the pre-facelift period (1993–1997) and your 1999 car is post-facelift (1997–2002), so you're crossing the 1997 facelift boundary. While both cars share the same generation platform, whether the roof pressing changed at the facelift is not something we can confirm here, so you should check that specifically with the breaker by quoting both registrations. What we can say with confidence is that both cars must be the same body style and door count — get that right first, then let the breaker verify the pressing compatibility.
