Vauxhall Tigra Window Regulator Replacement Parts

The Vauxhall Tigra ran in two distinct generations: the original Tigra A (1994–2001) and the Tigra B (2004–2009), which was a roadster-style coupe on a different platform entirely. Regulators from a Tigra A will not fit a Tigra B, so always confirm which generation your car belongs to before ordering. Give your registration to the breaker so they can match the correct generation.

Both years fall within the Tigra B generation (2004–2009), so in principle you are looking at the same basic platform and door shell. However, whether a specific regulator from 2005 directly interchanges with a 2008 unit — particularly if there were any mid-run changes — is worth confirming with the breaker against your registration, as minor production updates can affect compatibility. Always verify before purchasing.

Trim level does not affect window regulator fitment — the door shell and regulator mounting points are the same regardless of whether the car was a base, Design, or Sport model on the Tigra B. You may find cosmetic differences in door furniture such as switches, but the regulator mechanism itself is interchangeable across trims within the same generation. Confirm the side (NS or OS) and generation with the breaker, and trim is not a concern.

Yes, this matters significantly: the driver's side (OS, offside) and passenger's side (NS, nearside) regulators are handed and will not swap between doors. In UK convention, NS is the left/passenger side and OS is the right/driver's side, so make sure you tell the breaker clearly which side you need. Ordering the wrong side is one of the most common mistakes with this type of part.

No — the Tigra A and Tigra B are entirely different vehicles on different platforms, and their door structures and components are not interchangeable. Always make sure any regulator you are quoted for is confirmed as Tigra B stock if your car is a 2004–2009 model. Give your registration to the breaker to remove any ambiguity.

The Tigra B was predominantly supplied with electric windows, but whether any specific car has an electric or manual mechanism — and whether a particular replacement unit will match yours exactly — is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration, as mid-range production changes can affect this. The breaker will be able to check the spec of their salvage part against your vehicle. Do not assume all regulators from the same year are identical in operation.
