Used Volkswagen Crafter Quarter Panel

The Crafter runs in two clear generations: the first-generation (Mk1) ran from 2006 to 2016, and the second-generation (Mk2) launched in 2017 and continues to the present day. These two generations are built on entirely different platforms, so quarter panels do not interchange between them. Always source a panel from the correct generation to stand any chance of a fit.

2014 puts you in the Mk1 (2006–2016) and 2017 puts you in the Mk2, which are separate platforms with completely different body pressings – a Mk1 quarter panel will not fit a Mk2. Make sure any panel you source is confirmed as Mk2 (2017-onwards) before getting a quote from a breaker.

Yes, both matter significantly for a van like the Crafter. Short-wheelbase and long-wheelbase bodies have different rear quarter dimensions, and high-roof versions have taller rear quarters than medium-roof equivalents, so these are not interchangeable. Always confirm your wheelbase and roof height with the breaker alongside your registration.

Yes, this can affect the rear quarter pressing because the aperture and shut-face around the rear opening are designed around the door arrangement. Make sure you tell the breaker whether your van has twin barn doors or a single tailgate so they can match the correct panel.

Trim level does not affect quarter panel fitment on the Crafter; the pressings are the same across Startline, Trendline, and Highline variants within the same generation, wheelbase, and roof-height combination. You may find minor cosmetic differences such as badging or factory-applied finishes, but the panel itself will be the same. Focus on generation, wheelbase, roof height, and rear-door type rather than trim when searching.

Within the Mk2 (2017-onwards), wheelbase, roof height, and barn-door versus tailgate configuration are the key variables that must match your vehicle. Whether there are any mid-generation pressing changes within the Mk2 range is something you should confirm with the breaker against your exact registration, as this is not something we can state with certainty. A good breaker will cross-reference their part to your VIN or registration to rule out any subtle differences.
