Second Hand Vauxhall Vivaro Window Switch

The Vivaro is available with electric windows, so window switches do exist on this model, but not every variant came with them as standard — lower-spec or fleet-spec Vivaros sometimes had manual winders, particularly on older examples. If you are looking for a replacement switch, check your current van to confirm you have electric windows before ordering. A breaker can also confirm which spec they are breaking against your registration.

These are different generations: the first-generation Vivaro (Mk1) ran from 2001 to 2014, with a facelift around 2006, while the second-generation Vivaro (Mk2) ran from 2014 onwards. A switch from a 2008 Mk1 is very unlikely to be compatible with a 2014 Mk2, as the dash and door trim designs changed significantly across that boundary. Confirm the exact generation and switch location with the breaker before buying.

For the front door window switches, wheelbase does not affect fitment as the front doors are shared across wheelbase variants. Wheelbase becomes relevant for sliding side door switches if your van has a powered sliding door with a window, so flag to the breaker whether your van has a sliding or hinged side door and whether that door has a powered window. For standard front switches, just confirm the generation and side (NS or OS).

Trim level — whether that is a base panel van, LE, Sport, or Sportive — does not fundamentally affect window switch fitment, as the switches are tied to the door and generation rather than the trim name. The main thing to verify is that both vans have electric windows on the relevant door, since some lower trims may have had manual windows as a cost option. Once that is confirmed, the generation and side (NS nearside passenger side, OS offside driver side) are what matter most.

Yes, side matters — the NS (nearside, passenger left) and OS (offside, driver right) switches are not always interchangeable, as the master switch panel on the driver's side often controls all windows and is a different unit to the single switch on the passenger door. Always specify NS or OS when requesting a quote from a breaker. Fitting the wrong side switch may mean it physically does not fit the door trim aperture or lacks the correct functions.

Both the 2016 and 2019 Vivaro fall within the Mk2 generation (2014 onwards), so fitment is more likely within this range, but there were detail specification and facelift changes during the Mk2's production life that could affect switch design. Confirm the specific part number or describe your exact switch layout to the breaker, along with your registration, to be sure. Providing your reg is the safest way to ensure the part matches your van.
