Hyundai Accent Right Front Door

Not automatically. The Accent sold in South Africa as X3, LC, MC and RB, and the Accent ran for so long in South Africa that the same name covers four distinct platforms — the change from the Alpha to the Gamma petrol family is the single biggest fitment dividing line. Send us the generation code off your VIN plate and we will confirm it either way before anything is dispatched.

Usually, yes. The Accent the RB generation is a close relative of the Kia Rio of the same era, which gives us a second catalogue to search when Hyundai-listed stock runs out. We will tell you what we are quoting rather than leaving you to guess.

A used complete door from a stripped Hyundai is usually the most economical option. Send us your model, year and colour code through the quote form and we'll match a painted shell with hinges and latch included rather than piecing one together.

Almost always a failed microswitch inside the door latch, a very common Hyundai Getz, Accent and i20 fault. The fix is replacing the latch assembly — we rarely recommend chasing the wiring first unless the warning is intermittent and the door sounds open.

The plastic cable link between the exterior handle and the latch has failed. It's a known weakness across the Getz, i20, Accent range. We remove the interior panel, replace the linkage or latch and reset the lock before refitting.

The 'sensor' is actually the latch microswitch. We disconnect the battery, unbolt the latch from the door shut face, transfer the lock barrel to the new unit and reconnect. Budget an hour's labour at a workshop once the part is in hand.

Yes — we source used Hyundai doors through our SA supplier network, matched by model, year and colour. Painted used doors are typically far cheaper than a bare new shell plus paint, especially on older Getz, i20 and Accent models.
