Trunk curtain in Nissan X-Trail is not just an accessory, but a practical solution for protecting cargo from prying eyes, dust and sunlight. Owners of the T31 (2007–2013) and T32 (2014–2021) crossovers are often faced with the need to replace the standard curtain due to its wear, broken guides, or the desire to install a more functional model. However, choosing a suitable curtain requires taking into account the generation of the car, body type (5 or 7 seats) and even the configuration - for example, versions with a panoramic roof may use unique fastenings.

In this article we will look at all the nuances of choosing a curtain for Nissan X-Trail: from original articles to budget analogues, and we will also describe in detail the installation and repair process. You will learn how to avoid common installation mistakes, which materials can withstand loads better, and what to do if the curtain no longer fits or is stuck in the guides. We will pay special attention unique curtain sizes for 7-seater versions of the X-Trail T32, where standard solutions are often not suitable.

Which trunk curtains are suitable for Nissan X-Trail T31 and T32

The first thing to consider is car generation. Curtains for X-Trail T31 (2007–2013) and T32 (2014–2021) are not interchangeable due to different dimensions of the luggage compartment. Moreover, even within one generation there can be differences:

  • 🔹 5-seater versions — standard curtain length (~100–110 cm), suitable for most configurations.
  • 🔹 7-seater versions — an extended curtain (~120–130 cm), often with additional latches for the third row of seats.
  • 🔹 Versions with panoramic roof — curtains with modified fastenings may be required due to the shifted location of the guides.

Original curtains from Nissan have articles:

  • 285A0-4M000 - for X-Trail T31 (5 seats, fabric).
  • 285A0-4M010 - for X-Trail T31 (7 seats, extended).
  • 285A0-4M200 - for X-Trail T32 (5 seats, plastic frame).
  • 285A0-4M210 - for X-Trail T32 (7 seats, with additional clamps).

The cost of original curtains starts from 8,000 rubles, but there are high-quality analogues on the market from Heko, ClimAir And WeatherTech, which will cost less (from 3,500 to 6,000 rubles).

To avoid making a mistake with your choice, check the table below. Specified exact dimensions curtains for various modifications Nissan X-Trail, including rare configurations with a third row of seats.

If your version X-Trail is not indicated in the table (for example, restyled models 2017–2021), check the dimensions yourself. To do this, measure:

  1. Distance between side rails in trunk (width).
  2. The length from the rear door to the backs of the second row of seats (for a 5-seater version) or the third row (for a 7-seater version).

  • 🧵 Fabric curtains - the most common in original configurations Nissan X-Trail. Made from dense polyester impregnated from dust and moisture. Pros: lightweight, silent, good protection from the sun. Cons: they sag over time and can cling to the load.
  • 🔳 Plastic curtains - used in X-Trail T32. They are a rigid frame with stretched fabric or mesh. Pros: do not sag, reliable fixation. Cons: heavier than fabric ones, can rattle on uneven roads.
  • 🕸️ Mesh curtains - popular among owners who often transport large loads. Pros: do not interfere with the view through the rearview mirror, allow air to pass through. Cons: poor protection from the sun and dust.

For most tasks the optimal choice will be fabric curtain with plastic edging — it combines lightness and strength. If maximum protection from prying eyes is important to you, pay attention to models with two-layer fabric (For example, Heko Blackout).

How to check the quality of curtain material?

Pay attention to the density of the fabric - if light shines through it, then the load will be visible from the outside. Also pull the edges: a quality curtain should not stretch or deform.
