Fitment on a used sill 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 Meriva ran in two distinct generations: the original A-series (2003–2010) and the Meriva B (2010–2017), and these are completely different platforms with no panel interchangeability between them, so a sill from the A must stay with an A and a B with a B. Within each generation there were facelift updates, and whether pressing changes affected the sill panels is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration before buying. Always give the breaker your reg so they can match the exact shell.
No — a 2008 car is a Meriva A and a 2012 car is a Meriva B, and these are entirely different platforms, so the sills will not interchange. You need to source a sill from the same generation as your own car: pre-2010 for the A, 2010 onwards for the B. Confirm the exact year of the donor car with the breaker against your registration to be sure.
Trim level does not affect sill fitment on the Meriva — the structural sill panel is the same across Expression, Active, Design, SE and other trim grades within the same generation. You may find minor cosmetic differences such as the presence or absence of side moulding clips or colour-coded trims, but the underlying panel itself will interchange. Let the breaker know which trim your car has so they can advise on any finishing details.
No — the nearside (passenger) and offside (driver) sills are handed and are not interchangeable, so make sure you specify NS or OS clearly when asking for a quote. Both sides are available from dismantlers, but they are mirror images of each other. Give the breaker your side requirement alongside your registration to avoid any mix-up.
The Meriva A was produced from 2003 to 2010 on the same basic platform throughout, so in principle sills from across that range come from the same generation. However, whether there were any mid-generation pressing changes to the sill panel is not something that can be confirmed with certainty here, so you should check this with the breaker by supplying your registration and the year of the donor vehicle. A good breaker will be able to physically compare panels before dispatch.
The Vauxhall Meriva and Opel Meriva are the same car sold under different names in different markets, so the platforms are shared. Whether the actual pressed sill panels are identical between the two badges, or whether there are any market-specific differences, is something you should confirm with the breaker against both registrations rather than assume. A breaker experienced with Vauxhall and Opel stock will be best placed to advise.
