Volkswagen Transporter Window Regulator Replacement Parts

The T5 ran from 2003 to 2015 and the T6 from 2015 onwards, so these are different generations with different door structures — a T5 regulator will not cross over to a T6. Always buy generation-matched: confirm T5 or T6 with the breaker against your registration before ordering.

The T5 received a facelift in 2009, and while the body shell is the same generation, door panel changes around that facelift can affect regulator compatibility — this is a boundary where fitment is not guaranteed. Name the exact year of your van to the breaker and ask them to cross-reference their donor vehicle before buying.

Yes — NS (nearside, passenger left) and OS (offside, driver right) regulators are completely different parts and are not interchangeable. Always specify clearly which side you need when contacting a breaker.

Yes, on the Transporter van the sliding door size differs between standard wheelbase and long wheelbase (LWB) variants, so the window regulator for the sliding door is not the same across wheelbases. Tell the breaker your exact wheelbase as well as the generation so they can match the correct part.

Trim level does not affect the fitment of the window regulator — what matters is the generation (T5 or T6), the side (NS or OS), and whether the door is a front hinged door or a sliding rear door. You may receive a regulator from a different trim with a different colour door card or finish, but the mechanical fitment is determined by generation and door position, not trim grade. Confirm the generation and door details with the breaker against your registration.

For the front hinged doors, the regulator should be generation- and side-specific rather than body-style-specific, as the front door structure is shared across Transporter variants. However, if you need a regulator for the sliding door, confirm with the breaker that the donor vehicle matches your exact body style and wheelbase, as glazing arrangements can vary.
