Fitment questions

What generations did the Vauxhall Cavalier come in and does that affect which windscreen fits?

The Cavalier ran across three main generations in the UK: the Mk1 (1975–1981), Mk2 (1981–1988), and Mk3 (1988–1995), each on a different platform with a different screen shape, so generation is the key fitment factor. A windscreen from one generation will not fit another, so always make sure the breaker knows which generation your car is before ordering.

Will a windscreen from an early Mk3 Cavalier (1988) fit a later Mk3 (1994)?

The Mk3 Cavalier ran from 1988 to 1995 on the same basic platform throughout, so screens from across that generation are generally considered compatible in terms of glass shape. However, if your car has a heated windscreen or any rain sensor fitment, you'll need to confirm with the breaker that the donor screen matches those features, as a plain unheated screen won't be a straightforward swap for a heated one.

Does the trim level matter when buying a used Cavalier windscreen – for example, does a GL screen fit an SRi or a CDX?

Trim level – whether GL, GLS, SRi, CDX, or any other – does not affect windscreen fitment on the Cavalier; the glass shape is determined by the generation and body style, not the badge. The one thing worth checking is whether the donor car had a heated windscreen, as that's a feature that varied by specification rather than trim name, and a heated screen needs the correct wiring and heating elements to be present to function properly.

Does it matter whether my Cavalier windscreen is heated or not?

Yes – heated and unheated windscreens are not interchangeable without additional work, because a heated screen has embedded elements and requires a matching electrical connection in the car. When requesting a quote from a breaker, confirm whether your original screen is heated or plain glass so they can match it correctly.

My Mk2 Cavalier windscreen is cracked – will a Mk3 screen fit to save money?

No, Mk2 (1981–1988) and Mk3 (1988–1995) Cavaliers use different body shells and the screen apertures are not the same, so a Mk3 windscreen will not fit a Mk2 car. You'll need to tell the breaker specifically that you have a Mk2 and supply your registration to help them source the correct glass.

Are there any modern ADAS camera brackets to worry about on a used Cavalier windscreen?

The Cavalier was discontinued in 1995, well before ADAS camera brackets and advanced driver-assistance systems became common fitments, so this is not a concern you need to factor in when sourcing a used screen for this model. Focus instead on confirming the correct generation and whether the screen is heated or unheated, and supply your registration to the breaker so they can verify the exact specification.
