Second Hand Peugeot 508 Windscreen

No — the first-generation 508 ran from 2010 to 2018, and the second generation launched in 2018 on an entirely new platform, so the windscreens are not interchangeable between the two. If you're sourcing from a breaker, make sure they confirm which generation the donor car belongs to before you commit. Never assume a cheap screen from the wrong generation will work, as the aperture shape and mounting points differ.

Both years fall within the first generation (2010–2018), so the body shell is the same platform and fitment is likely compatible, but you also need to check whether your car has a heated windscreen or an ADAS camera bracket, as either feature must match the donor screen. The first-gen received a facelift around 2014, so confirm with the breaker that the screen's sensor or heating provisions match your specific car by quoting your registration. Don't assume all first-gen screens are identical just because the years are close.

No, trim level makes no difference to windscreen fitment on the Peugeot 508 — the same screen fits across Access, Active, Allure, and GT grades on the same generation. What does matter is whether your car has a heated windscreen or an ADAS camera bracket, as these are features found on higher trims like GT but not always on entry-level cars, and a screen without those provisions won't work as a like-for-like replacement. A breaker may supply a screen with or without those features, so check before buying rather than relying on trim name alone.

Look at the top-centre of your existing windscreen from inside the car — if there's a plastic housing or bracket mounted near the rear-view mirror, your car has a camera bracket for its lane-keeping or autonomous emergency braking system. A replacement screen must have the matching bracket pre-fitted in the same position, otherwise the camera cannot be remounted correctly and may not calibrate. Confirm the bracket compatibility with the breaker against your exact registration, as the specific ADAS system fitted can affect whether a used screen will work with your car's electronics.

Yes, it matters — if your original screen has heating elements (visible as fine wires across the glass), you need a replacement that also has them, or your heated windscreen function will be lost. Equally, fitting a heated screen to a car not wired for it is pointless and may cause issues. Check your current screen before approaching a breaker, and ask them to confirm the heating status of the donor screen against your registration to make sure you get a like-for-like match.

The 508 SW (estate) has a different roofline and rear body structure, but the windscreen is at the front of the car where all first-generation 508 body styles share the same aperture, making it likely compatible — however, you should still confirm this with the breaker against your registration rather than assuming. For the second generation, the 508 was offered as a fastback and as the SW estate, and again the front screen may be shared, but the breaker should verify this from the donor car's details. Always quote your full registration when asking for a quote so the breaker can cross-reference the part.
