Used door cards vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
No — the B6 and B7 are different generations with different door and interior architecture, so their door cards are not interchangeable. Always source a card specifically from the correct generation for your car. Confirm the exact year of your vehicle with the breaker using your registration to make sure you get the right part.
Within the same generation — for example, both years fall within the B6 (2005–2010) — door cards will generally match, provided the side (NS or OS) and body style are the same. However, if a facelift mid-cycle altered interior trim or door panel fixings, there can be subtle differences, so always ask the breaker to cross-reference against your full registration rather than year alone.
For the front doors, a saloon and estate Passat of the same generation typically share the same front door card, so body style is less of a concern there. Rear door cards can differ between body styles depending on the generation, so confirm with the breaker whether you need a front or rear card and give them your registration to verify compatibility.
Yes, NS and OS door cards are handed and are not interchangeable — the fixing points, speaker positions and internal shapes mirror each other. Always specify whether you need the nearside (NS, left/passenger) or offside (OS, right/driver) card when requesting a quote from a breaker.
Trim level does not affect the fundamental fitment of the door card — the fixing points and frame dimensions are the same across S, SE, Sport and GT within the same generation and side. There may be cosmetic differences such as the type of cloth, stitching or panel finish, but the card itself will locate correctly; just be aware of the aesthetic variation when buying from a breaker.
Year is a good starting point, but the Passat has gone through several distinct generations — B5 (1996–2005, including the B5.5 facelift from 2000), B6 (2005–2010), B7 (2010–2014), and B8 (2014 onwards) — and door cards do not cross between these. Give the breaker your vehicle registration so they can confirm the exact generation, side and door position before sourcing a used card.
