Second Hand Vauxhall Vivaro Roof Panel

The Vivaro has run across three main generations: the original A (2001–2014), the B (2014–2019), and the C (2019–present), and roof panels are generation-specific so a panel from one generation will not fit another. Within each generation, wheelbase (short or long) and roof height (standard or high-roof) also determine which panel you need, so always confirm both when getting a quote. Engine and trim level make no difference to the roof panel at all.

These two years sit either side of the generation change — 2013 is Vivaro A and 2015 is Vivaro B — so the panels are from completely different bodyshells and will not interchange directly. The Vivaro B shares its platform with the Renault Trafic and Nissan NV300 of the same era, and whether a panel from one of those badge-engineered siblings crosses over to a Vivaro B is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration, as pressing differences are possible. Stick to a Vivaro B donor for a 2015 vehicle unless your breaker has verified compatibility.

Yes, it can matter — the rear aperture and the way the roof pressing meets the rear of the van can differ between barn-door and tailgate variants, particularly at the rear edge of the panel. Always tell the breaker which rear-door configuration your van has when requesting a quote. Wheelbase (short-wheelbase or long-wheelbase) also affects the roof panel length, so confirm that too.

No, trim level has no bearing on roof panel fitment for the Vivaro — a Sportive and a Dynamic on the same generation and wheelbase use the same panel. You may find cosmetic differences such as aerial bases, roof-rail mounting points, or solar-panel apertures depending on how the van was optioned, so check for those features on your donor panel before buying. The breaker can usually advise whether any apertures or fittings match your specific van.

No — the high-roof and standard-roof variants have different roof panels that are not interchangeable, even within the same generation and wheelbase. Make sure you tell the breaker whether your van is standard or high-roof when you request a quote, as this is one of the most common mix-ups with van roof panels. Getting the wrong profile will mean the panel cannot be fitted correctly regardless of how good the condition is.

The Vivaro A ran from 2001 to 2014, with a facelift in 2006, and while the overall bodyshell architecture remained the same throughout, whether the roof pressing itself changed between the pre- and post-facelift vehicles is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration rather than assume. Generation A panels will definitely not fit a B or C, but the breaker is best placed to tell you whether a pre-2006 donor panel lines up on a post-2006 van. Providing your full registration to the breaker when quoting will help them check this accurately.
