Hyundai i10 Trunk/Tailgate
Trunk/Tailgate to suit the Hyundai i10, cross-referenced against OEM specification and dispatched countrywide
What Are Hyundai i10 Trunk/Tailgate?
The tailgate — also called the boot lid — is the rear hatch on Hyundai hatchbacks and SUVs, carrying the glass, wiper, lock and wiring loom. On Getz, i20, Accent and Creta models we see broken wires in the rubber boot between tailgate and body, plus failed lock actuators leaving the boot stuck shut.
Signs You Need New Trunk/Tailgate
How we match trunk/tailgate to your i10
What changes across the range
Ordering trunk/tailgate for a i10 starts with the generation: PA, then the Grand i10 BA, then AI3.
The original PA i10 and the later Grand i10 are separate platforms with separate parts catalogues — "i10" on its own is not enough to order from.
Worth knowing: the i10shares the Kappa petrol family with the Kia Picanto.
What we check on trunk/tailgate
- •The generation code, because i10 parts lists split on it
- •The engine family — this i10 was sold with Epsilon 1.1 (PA), Kappa 1.25 (Grand i10) and Kappa 1.2 (AI3)
- •The generation code, whether the car is pre- or post-facelift, and the paint code
- •Whether the car is pre- or post-facelift within its generation
In South Africa the i10 is mostly first cars, driving-school fleets and short-hop city work, so components see far more cold starts per thousand kilometres than the odometer suggests. That is the wear pattern we stock and source against.
Hyundai i10 Trunk/Tailgate — Questions We Get Asked
Will trunk/tailgate from another i10 fit mine?
Not automatically. The i10 sold in South Africa as PA, then the Grand i10 BA, then AI3, and the original PA i10 and the later Grand i10 are separate platforms with separate parts catalogues — "i10" on its own is not enough to order from. Send us the generation code off your VIN plate and we will confirm it either way before anything is dispatched.
Which engines did the South African i10 come with?
SA-market cars ran Epsilon 1.1 (PA), Kappa 1.25 (Grand i10), Kappa 1.2 (AI3). The code stamped on the block is what we work from — the badge on the boot is not reliable on its own.
Why won't my Hyundai boot open?
Usually a failed lock actuator or broken wires in the rubber boot between the body and the tailgate. We see this on Getz, i20, Accent and Creta models constantly. The wires flex thousands of times and eventually fracture inside the insulation — invisible from outside.
How do I manually open a Hyundai tailgate?
On most Hyundais, fold the rear seats down, climb into the boot and pull the emergency release lever or slide the latch catch visible from inside. Workshop manuals show the exact location per model. If the linkage is broken, you'll need the trim removed to release mechanically.
How much does a used Hyundai tailgate cost in South Africa?
Used painted tailgates vary by model — an i20 2018 tailgate is stocked across our SA supplier network. Request a free quote through our form with your year and paint code. Drip panels, boot struts and wipers are usually sold separately if you only need those.
What causes broken wires in a Hyundai tailgate loom?
Years of opening and closing flex the wires inside the rubber boot joining the tailgate to the body. The copper work-hardens and snaps inside the insulation. You end up with dead wiper, demister, lock or reverse camera even though the connector looks fine.
How much does a Hyundai tailgate actuator cost?
Lock actuators are generally affordable parts — we source used actuators through our SA supplier network. Request a free quote with your model and year. Labour is about an hour to remove the trim, swap the actuator and re-code the BCM (body control module) if needed.
