Second Hand Vauxhall Antara Windscreen

The Vauxhall Antara was sold in the UK as a single generation based on the GM Theta platform, running from 2006 to 2015, with a facelift in 2011 that updated the front-end styling — confirm with your breaker whether the screen from a pre-facelift (2006–2010) car is interchangeable with a post-facelift (2011–2015) one, as the facelift may have altered the aperture or trim fittings. What will definitely affect fitment is whether your screen has heating elements or a rain sensor bracket, so check both cars before ordering. Your breaker can verify compatibility against your registration number.

These two cars sit either side of the 2011 facelift, so there is a real risk the screens are not a straight swap — the facelift updated the front bodywork and there may be differences in the glass profile or the surround fittings. Whether a pre-facelift (2006–2010) screen will physically fit a post-facelift (2011–2015) car is something you should confirm with your breaker against both registrations before buying. Do not assume they are the same just because the model name is identical.

No — whether your Antara is an S, SE, or Exclusiv, the trim level does not change which windscreen is fitted to the aperture. What does matter is whether your screen has a heating element or a bracket for a rain sensor or camera, as these are fitted across trims and vary by specification rather than by trim name. A screen from a lower-spec car without heating or sensor brackets will physically fit but will leave those features non-functional, so check the spec of the donor car carefully.

A non-heated screen will fit the aperture, but you will lose the heating function entirely, and the wiring connectors at the base of the glass will have nothing to plug into. If retaining the heated windscreen function matters to you, make sure you specifically ask the breaker for a heated screen and confirm it matches your car's wiring setup. It is an easy detail to overlook when browsing second-hand glass.

Some later Antara models may have been fitted with rain sensor brackets, but full ADAS camera systems were not a widely documented feature on this generation — however, you should check your own screen carefully for any bracket or mount attached to the glass before ordering a replacement. If your car does have a sensor bracket, fitting a plain screen without the correct mount can affect the sensor's operation or prevent it from being refitted properly. Confirm the exact bracket configuration with your breaker against your registration to be sure.

UK vehicle dismantlers (breakers) regularly break Antaras for spares, and Findapart lets you get quotes from multiple breakers at once to find the right screen for your car. When you make an enquiry, give your full registration number and mention whether your screen is heated or has any sensor brackets, as these details will help the breaker pull the correct glass. Always confirm compatibility with the breaker before purchasing, as fitment depends on the specification of both the donor and your own car.
