Second Hand Peugeot 306 Window Regulator

The Peugeot 306 ran as a single generation from 1993 to 2002, with a significant facelift in 1997 that updated the body panels and doors, so regulators from pre-facelift (1993–1997) and post-facelift (1997–2002) cars are not guaranteed to interchange. Always confirm with the breaker whether the part is from a pre- or post-facelift car and quote your registration so they can verify the match.

Your 1995 car is pre-facelift and your 1999 car is post-facelift, and the 1997 facelift brought door shell changes that can affect regulator fitment across that boundary. The part may or may not be compatible, so confirm this specific cross-facelift interchange with the breaker before buying.

Yes, this matters — the front door on a 3-door 306 is longer than on a 5-door to allow rear passenger access, which means the regulator and its mounting points differ between the two body styles. Always tell the breaker your exact door count so they can supply the correct part.

Yes, window regulators are side-specific — the nearside (NS, passenger/left) and offside (OS, driver/right) are mirror images of each other and are not interchangeable. Make sure you tell the breaker which side you need using NS or OS to avoid ordering the wrong part.

Trim level does not affect which regulator fits, as fitment is determined by generation, body style, and door side rather than specification. Bear in mind that some trim-level doors may have different interior trim panels or speaker cut-outs, but the regulator mechanism itself is the same across trims for a matching door configuration.

Electric and manual regulators use different mechanisms and are not interchangeable, so you do need to match the type to your car. Whether certain mid-range trims were fitted with electric or manual windows as standard can vary by year and market, so confirm which type your car has by checking the door itself and mention it clearly when getting quotes from the breaker.
