Windshield Nissan Terrano is not just a body element, but a key safety component that affects visibility, aerodynamics and even the operation of driver assistance systems. In case of damage (cracks, chips) or planned replacement, it is important to know the exact dimensions of the glass in order to avoid mistakes when purchasing and installing. In this article we will analyze the sizes of original glasses for all generations Terrano (including R50, R51 And J11), we will provide article numbers of factory and alternative options, and also give practical advice on selection and installation.

Feature Terrano - in the variety of body modifications and years of manufacture, which affects the size of the glass. For example, glass for the restyled version R51 (2014–2020) may differ from the pre-restyle by several millimeters in height. We have collected current data from manufacturers' catalogs (Nissan, Pilkington, Saint-Gobain Sekurit) and workshop experience so that you can select glass without the risk of mismatch.

Official windshield sizes for Nissan Terrano by generation

Windshield sizes depend on generation and modification Terrano. Below are the exact dimensions for the main versions:

  • 📏 Nissan Terrano R50 (1986–2004): 1400 × 700 mm (height × width). The glass is trapezoidal in shape with rounded corners, characteristic of retro design.
  • 📏 Nissan Terrano R51 (2005–2020):
    • Dorestyle (2005–2013): 1430 × 720 mm.
    • Restyle (2014–2020): 1435 × 725 mm (slight increase due to changes in the shape of the hood).
  • 📏 Nissan Terrano J11 (2013–2022, for Asian/European markets): 1450 × 730 mm. It features smoother curves and integrated antennas at the top.

Important: for models with the option heated windshield (for example, in configurations for cold climates) the dimensions remain the same, but the article number and structure of the conductive threads change. Before purchasing, check whether this option is available in your car - it affects compatibility.

How to properly measure your windshield yourself

Even if you know the theoretical glass dimensions for your model, physical measurements will help you avoid mistakes when purchasing. Here are the step-by-step instructions:

  1. Preparation: Clean the glass from dirt and moisture. Use a soft cloth to avoid scratching the surface.
  2. Width Measurement: take a tape measure and measure the distance between the extreme points of the glass horizontally (from the left to the right edge). For Terrano R51 this is approximately 720–725 mm.
  3. Height measurement: Measure the distance from the bottom edge of the glass (at the base of the wipers) to the top point (usually 1430–1450 mm).
  4. Checking radii: Pay attention to the rounded corners. U Terrano J11 the rounding radius is ~15 mm, R50 — ~10 mm.

For accuracy, repeat measurements 2-3 times. If the difference between measurements exceeds 5 mm, check whether the glass is deformed (for example, after an accident).

Specify the generation and year of production of Terrano

Check the article number of the original glass (if any)

Measure the dimensions of the current glass

Check for heating option (if applicable)

Compare curvature radii with new glass -->

⚠️ Attention: When taking measurements, do not lean on the glass - this can lead to cracking, especially if there are already microdamages. Use a laser rangefinder or have an assistant hold the tape measure.

Original vs analogues: what to choose for replacement

When replacing a windshield, owners Terrano are faced with a choice: buy original glass from Nissan or an analogue from third-party manufacturers. Let's look at the pros and cons of each option:

  • ✅ Original glass:
    • Guaranteed match in size and shape.
    • High quality material (tempered glass with UV protection).
    • Preservation of factory options (heating, rain/light sensors).
    Minus: price is 1.5–2 times higher than analogues (from RUB 25,000 for R51).
  • ✅ Analogs (Pilkington, XYG, Fuyao):
    • The price is 30–50% lower than the original (from 12,000 rubles).
    • Wide range (you can choose glass with improved characteristics, for example, with tinting).
    Cons: slight deviations in dimensions are possible (up to 2–3 mm), risk of defects if installed incorrectly.

If your Terrano equipped with systems ADAS (adaptive cruise control, traffic sign recognition), be sure to choose original glass or a certified analogue. The cameras and sensors of these systems are calibrated for specific glass optics, and replacing them with an incompatible option will lead to malfunctions.

💡

When purchasing an analogue, check for a certificate ECE R43 is a European safety standard for auto glass. Without it, the glass may not withstand the impact of an accident.

Step-by-step instructions for replacing a windshield

Replacing glass with Nissan Terrano - a labor-intensive process that requires accuracy. If you decide to do it yourself, follow the algorithm:

  1. Preparation:
    • Place the car in a warm garage (temperature not lower than +15°C).
    • Remove the wipers, plastic covers and rear view mirror.
    • Disconnect the battery to avoid short circuit when operating the heated glass.
  2. Removing old glass:
    • Apply special knife for cutting sealant along the perimeter of the glass.
    • Carefully pry up the glass using a suction cup and an assistant (the glass weighs ~15 kg).
  3. Installing new glass:
    • Clean the opening from old glue and apply new sealant (3M PU590 or analogues).
    • Install the glass starting from the bottom and press evenly around the perimeter.
  4. Final works:
    • Do not operate the vehicle for 12–24 hours (glue polymerization time).
    • Check the operation of the heating and sensors (if any).
⚠️ Attention: if on yours Terrano camera installed Around View Monitor (all-round view), it will have to be recalibrated after replacing the glass. To do this you will need a diagnostic scanner (Nissan Consult-III or analogues).
What to do if the glass cracks during dismantling?

If the old glass breaks during removal, immediately seal the opening with masking tape to prevent splinters from getting into the interior. Then thoroughly vacuum the interior and opening using a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter. Tempered glass shards may be invisible to the naked eye, but are hazardous to health.

Common replacement mistakes and how to avoid them

Even experienced craftsmen sometimes make mistakes that lead to leaks, squeaks or glass peeling. Here are the most common of them:

  • 🔧 Wrong choice of sealant: using cheap glue (for example, acetate) instead of polyurethane (3M, Sika) leads to loss of strength after 1–2 years.
  • 🔧 Incomplete cleaning of the opening: Residues of old glue or rust impair adhesion. Be sure to use degreaser (Loctite 7063).
  • 🔧 Failure to comply with temperature conditions: when installed at temperatures below +10°C, the adhesive polymerizes unevenly, which leads to leaks.
  • 🔧 Ignoring sensor calibration: after replacing glass on models with ADAS Cameras need to be recalibrated. Without it, the system may trigger falsely.

To avoid these problems, follow glass manufacturer's instructions and use only recommended materials. For example, for Terrano R51 Nissan recommends sealant Teroson PU 6860 — it provides maximum strength and moisture resistance.

💡

If, after replacing the glass, a whistle appears at speeds above 100 km/h, the geometry of the seal is most likely broken. The solution is to reinstall the glass, adjusting the pressure in the corners.

FAQ: answers to frequently asked questions about windshields Nissan Terrano

Is it possible to install glass from Nissan X-Trail on Terrano R51?

No, despite the external similarity, the glasses of these models are not interchangeable. U X-Trail T31/T32 other radii of curvatures and mountings for the rear view mirror. The exception is some analogues from Pilkington, which are suitable for both models (check with the seller).

How much does it cost to replace a windshield at a service center?

The cost depends on the region and type of glass:

  • Original glass + work: RUB 30,000–50,000.
  • Analogue + work: 15,000–25,000 rub.

The cost usually includes removing the old adhesive, installing new glass, and disposing of the old glass.

How can you tell if the glass is cracked from the inside (invisible crack)?

Signs of an internal crack:

  • Distortion of the view (as through a “wave”).
  • The appearance of rainbow stains in bright light.
  • Crunching sound when you press the glass with your hand.

Such glass must be replaced, as it can delaminate at any time.

Is it possible to drive with a crack in the windshield?

Legislatively in Russia prohibited operation of the car if there is a crack:

  • Passes through the wiper operating area (driver's side).
  • Exceeds 30 cm in length.
  • Distorts the view (by Traffic rules clause 4.3).

Fine - 500 rubles. (Article 12.5 of the Administrative Code). In addition, a crack weakens the glass structure, increasing the risk of injury in an accident.

How to care for a new windshield?

Tips for extending service life:

  • Clean the glass soft sponge and special means (for example, Sonax Glass Cleaner).
  • Avoid alkaline detergents — they destroy the protective coating.
  • When parking under trees, use sun screento prevent resin from entering.
  • In winter, do not pour hot water on frozen glass - this causes microcracks.
