Application: Holden Captiva 5 and Captiva 7 (2009-2016)
This door visor set fits the 2009-2016 Holden Captiva range, covering both the 5-seater Captiva 5 and the 7-seater Captiva 7. These two variants share the GM Theta crossover platform but represent distinct vehicles: the Captiva 7 is the Australian-market version of the Chevrolet Captiva, while the Captiva 5 derives from the Opel Antara. Both were manufactured by GM Korea (formerly Daewoo) in Incheon, South Korea, and sold exclusively through Holden dealerships in Australia and New Zealand.
Variant Overview
Captiva 7 (2009-2016): 7-seater, based on the Chevrolet Captiva (GM Theta long-wheelbase). Renamed from "Captiva" to "Captiva 7" in 2009 when the MaXX was rebranded as Captiva 5. Series II facelift arrived in 2011.
Captiva 5 (2009-2016): 5-seater, based on the Opel Antara (GM Theta short-wheelbase). Formerly called "Captiva MaXX" (2006-2008), renamed to "Captiva 5" in December 2009. Discontinued in early 2016 when the Antara ended production.
Fitment Variants Listed on This Page
2009-2016 Captiva 7 (7-seater, Chevrolet Captiva derivative)
2009-2016 Captiva MaXX 5 (5-seater, Opel Antara derivative). Note: Holden officially renamed this variant from "Captiva MaXX" to "Captiva 5" in 2009. The "MaXX 5" label on this page references the prior nameplate.
Production Years vs. Model Years
The Holden Captiva nameplate was produced from 2006 to 2018. This SKU covers the 2009-2016 period when Holden used the "Captiva 5" and "Captiva 7" naming convention. Vehicles from 2006-2008 (badged as "Captiva" and "Captiva MaXX") and 2016-2018 (facelifted, reverted to "Captiva" without numerical suffix) may share door frame dimensions but are not explicitly listed in the fitment. Buyers should verify door frame measurements for pre-2009 and post-2016 vehicles.
Aftermarket Supply Note
Holden ceased operations in Australia and New Zealand in 2020, and the Captiva was discontinued in 2018. Genuine OEM door visors are no longer available from the manufacturer. AutoBridge supplies aftermarket replacements manufactured to original door frame specifications, serving global importers who support the used Holden Captiva vehicle parc in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Oceania.

Manufacturing Process
Two primary processes are used for door visor production:
Injection Molding: Higher machinable accuracy, thickness controlled at 2.0-2.5mm. Preferred for premium PC material visors.
Plastic Uptake (Vacuum Forming): Lower mold opening cost, thickness controlled at 1.2-1.8mm. Suitable for cost-sensitive PMMA and PS variants.
The widening of door visors is based on the car models. The color of the protective film covers on the chrome/steel trim is transparent or blue, customizable by buyer request.
Fitment and Cross-Reference
Captiva 5 vs. Captiva 7: Door Frame Compatibility
Although both variants share the GM Theta platform, the Captiva 5 (Opel Antara derivative) and Captiva 7 (Chevrolet Captiva derivative) have distinct exterior body panels and door profiles. This SKU is designed to fit both variants, but buyers should confirm whether their vehicle requires the 5-seater or 7-seater profile before ordering.
Rebadge Cross-Reference
Holden Name (AU/NZ) | Global Equivalent | Market | Years |
|---|
Captiva 7 | Chevrolet Captiva | Global (Europe, Asia, LATAM) | 2006-2018 |
Captiva 5 | Opel Antara | Europe | 2006-2015 |
Captiva 5 | Vauxhall Antara | United Kingdom | 2006-2015 |
Captiva 7 | Daewoo Winstorm | South Korea | 2006-2011 |
Captiva 5 | Daewoo Winstorm MaXX | South Korea | 2006-2010 |
Door visor compatibility across rebadged models depends on door frame dimensions. Vehicles sharing the same body (e.g., Holden Captiva 7 and Chevrolet Captiva) should have interchangeable door visors. Buyers sourcing for Opel Antara or Vauxhall Antara should verify RHD vs. LHD door mirror positions, as mirror placement may affect visor profile alignment.
Saturn Vue (2nd Gen, 2008-2010): Shares GM Theta platform but has different body panels. Door visors do NOT interchange.
GMC Terrain (1st Gen, 2010-2017): Built on Theta Premium platform with a larger body. Not compatible.
Holden Equinox (2017-2020): Captiva 7 successor on the D2XX platform. Not compatible.
Holden Acadia (2018-2020): Captiva 7 successor on the C1XX platform. Not compatible.
Year Coverage Notes
2006-2008 (Captiva + Captiva MaXX): Pre-rebrand period. Same physical vehicles as 2009-2016 versions. Door visors likely fit but are not explicitly listed. Buyer verification recommended.
2011 Series II Facelift: Front-end redesign only. Door frames unchanged. Visors for 2009-2010 fit 2011-2016 vehicles.
2016-2018 (Facelifted Captiva): Holden dropped the numerical suffix and reintroduced the 5-seater option. Door frame dimensions likely unchanged from 2016 Captiva 7. Buyer verification recommended.
Chrome Trim Design Options
Electroplated Bright Strip Design
Electroplated bright trims are processed with chrome plating technology on high-quality plastic blanks. The processed chrome-plated bright trim presents a more shiny metallic luster under high light compared to 3D stainless steel decorative strips. The curvature is more three-dimensional and rounder than 3D stainless steel chrome trim. Anti-oxidation surface treatment can be applied to improve weather resistance. Typically paired with PS material visors.
Mirror Stainless Steel Design
The mirror stainless steel design creates a nearly embedded installation for the chrome trim, smoothly installed in the groove of the door visor. This smooth design reflects light differently from 3D stainless steel designs, with a single reflection angle that creates a flat mirror effect. The large curvature of the door visor body complements the smooth decorative design, enhancing overall aesthetic appeal.
3D Stainless Steel Design
The 3D stainless steel trim features a more three-dimensional and rounded shape than the mirror stainless steel variant. The top and bottom sides with a protruding vertex in the middle form a curved design that produces varying reflection effects under high light at different angles. Commonly paired with PC material door visors, which allow significant bending flexibility.
