Hyundai Elantra Left Mirror

Not automatically. The Elantra sold in South Africa as J2 Avante, XD, HD, MD and AD, and early SA cars wear the Avante name and later ones the Elantra badge for what is effectively the same lineage — the generation code, not the badge, is what a parts desk works from. Send us the generation code off your VIN plate and we will confirm it either way before anything is dispatched.

We work backwards from the VIN: generation first, then engine family, then whether the car is pre- or post-facelift within that generation. On the Elantra specifically, early SA cars wear the Avante name and later ones the Elantra badge for what is effectively the same lineage — the generation code, not the badge, is what a parts desk works from.

SA pricing runs R149.99-R2,900. A Creta electric mirror sits at R2,100-R3,000 new, with used examples around R750. Pro Hyundai Spares and our supplier network carry stock. Get a free quote with your model year and side.

Fitted and coded where needed, budget R1,250-R4,000 at an SA indie. Used colour-matched housings save the respray. Labour is 30-60 minutes. Dealer-only fitment is rare on Hyundai mirrors.

The power-fold motor inside the housing fails first, often on Tucson, Creta and i20. Sometimes the BCM (body control module) loses sync. A quick scan isolates the fault before stripping the door card and replacing the mirror.

Yes. Hyundai mirror glass clips onto a backing plate and is sold separately for most i20, Accent, Creta and Sonata models. Heated glass is about double the price of plain, but worth it for SA winter mornings.

Cycle the fold switch three times within ten seconds with the ignition on, then use the switch normally. If that fails, the motor has jammed mid-travel and the housing needs opening. Force-folding by hand usually strips the gears.
