No two window winder motors are quite the same across different vehicles, so getting the specifics right matters when you buy used, second hand or a replacement. Answer a few quick questions below and breakers will only quote if they have the exact matching part in stock:
The Crafter has two clear generations: the first-generation (Mk1) ran from 2006 to 2016, and the second-generation (Mk2) launched in 2017 and is still in production. The window winder motor is generation-specific, so a Mk1 and Mk2 motor will not interchange. Always quote your generation to the breaker alongside your registration to make sure you get the right unit.
These two years sit either side of the Mk1-to-Mk2 generation change in 2016-2017, so they are from different generations and the motors are unlikely to be interchangeable. The Mk2 is a wholly new platform with different door internals. Confirm this boundary with the breaker quoting both registrations, as they can cross-reference directly.
Yes, this matters significantly — the NS (nearside, passenger left) and OS (offside, driver right) front door motors are handed and will not swap between sides. Always tell the breaker which side you need when requesting a quote. UK convention is NS for the passenger side and OS for the driver side.
For sliding door motors on the Crafter, wheelbase can be relevant because longer-wheelbase variants may have different rear sliding door configurations, so it is worth telling the breaker your wheelbase as well as your registration. Front door motors are not affected by wheelbase. Give the breaker your full registration so they can confirm the exact application.
Trim level does not affect the physical fitment of the window winder motor on the Crafter — the door structure and motor mounting are the same across the range for a given generation and side. You may find cosmetic differences such as door panel finish between trim levels, but these do not change which motor fits. Focus on generation, side (NS or OS), and door type when sourcing your part.
Converting from a manual to an electric window regulator and motor involves changes beyond just swapping the motor, including the regulator mechanism and potentially the wiring loom and door card. Whether this conversion is straightforward or practical on your specific Crafter is something to confirm with the breaker against your registration, as there can be variation across the Mk1 and Mk2 ranges. A breaker familiar with the Crafter will be best placed to advise on what additional parts you would need.
