Hyundai Elantra Right 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.

The VIN is the single most useful thing — a photo of the plate is fine. Failing that, the generation code and the engine code off the block. The Elantra ran as J2 Avante, XD, HD, MD and AD, so the generation is what narrows the search.

Used Hyundai Getz electric mirrors are around R749, Hyundai Accent units around R1,832 through our SA supplier network. Colour-matched painted housings cost more. Send your model, year and paint code for an accurate quote on a ready-to-fit unit.

The internal fold motor has worn or the plastic gears have stripped — a characteristic i20, Tucson and Creta fault. Sometimes resetting the fold position through the BCM (body control module) clears a jam, but if it clicks without moving, the whole mirror assembly usually needs replacing.

Used painted mirrors keep the total bill well below a dealer new unit plus paint. Request a free quote through our form with your Hyundai's VIN and we'll match heating, folding, indicator and blind-spot features correctly for your trim level.

Yes — the glass clips onto a backing plate on most Hyundais and is a 10-minute job. Heated glass needs two wires reconnected. Cracked glass alone is far cheaper than a full mirror swap, so check that first before replacing the complete unit.

The fold motor gears have worn, so teeth are skipping. The mirror may still fold partially or stop halfway. We replace the complete mirror assembly on most SA Hyundais — the motor alone is rarely available as a separate spare.
