Fitment on a used window motor varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
The Insignia ran as the Mk1 (2008–2017, with a facelift around 2013) and the Mk2 (2017 onwards), and these are completely different body generations with different door structures, so a window motor from a Mk1 will not fit a Mk2. Always confirm the generation matches before buying, and give the breaker your full registration to be certain.
Yes, the side matters significantly — the NS (nearside, passenger/left) and OS (offside, driver/right) motors are not interchangeable, as they are built to run in opposite directions and mount differently within the door. Always specify NS or OS when requesting a quote from a breaker.
For the front doors, the body style difference between the hatchback and Sports Tourer does not affect window motor fitment, as both share the same front door design within the same generation. For rear doors, the aperture can differ, so confirm the door position (front or rear) and your body style with the breaker when sourcing a rear motor.
Trim level does not affect window motor fitment on the Insignia — the motor is determined by generation, door position, and side (NS/OS), not by trim. You may find cosmetic differences in surrounding door furniture between trims, but the motor itself should interchange across trim levels within the same generation.
Both sit within the Mk1 generation and the door structures are generally consistent across the facelift, but whether the motor itself interchanges across the 2013 facelift boundary is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration, as minor running changes can affect component compatibility. Give the breaker your reg and the door position and side to be sure.
No — the engine has no bearing on window motor fitment whatsoever, as the motors are determined by body generation, door position, and NS/OS side only. Whether your Insignia is a petrol, diesel, or even the four-wheel-drive FlexRide variant, the window motor fitment criteria remain the same.
