Hyundai i10 Glove Compartment
Whether your i10 is an early or late build, we match the glove compartment to your derivative rather than to the badge
What Are Hyundai i10 Glove Compartment?
The glove compartment on a Hyundai is the lidded storage bin in the dashboard ahead of the front passenger. On i20 and Accent we see the plastic latch snap cleanly in half, so the lid hangs open or jams shut with nothing else wrong.
Signs You Need New Glove Compartment
i10 generations and glove compartment — the short version
Does one glove compartment listing cover every i10?
No. i10 owners are usually surprised by how much turns on the generation code — PA, then the Grand i10 BA, then AI3 all sold here.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.
Which engine is in my i10?
SA-market cars were sold with Epsilon 1.1 (PA), Kappa 1.25 (Grand i10) and Kappa 1.2 (AI3). The code stamped on the block settles it — the badge on the boot does not.
What do you need from me to quote glove compartment?
The trim level, the interior colour, and whether the car has leather or cloth. Trim level drives almost everything inside a Hyundai — seat fabric, console mouldings and switchgear all differ between base and Elite or Executive derivatives of the same car.
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.
Before You Order i10 Glove Compartment
Will glove compartment 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.
How do you check glove compartment actually fits a i10?
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 i10 specifically, 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.
How much does it cost to replace a Hyundai glove box?
A used glove compartment assembly through SA strippers usually lands in the R250-R850 bracket for i20, Accent models. A latch-only fix is cheaper still. Get a free quote and we will match it to your trim and colour.
Why is my Hyundai glove compartment jammed or broken?
The latch tongue on i20 and Accent dashboards is a thin plastic hook that fatigues and snaps. Once it breaks, the catch jams in the shut position. Opening it forcefully usually destroys the surrounding trim too.
How do you open a Hyundai glove box with a broken handle?
Ease a thin plastic trim tool down the side of the lid to push the latch tongue sideways off the striker. Pull gently as you feel it release. Never prise from below, as this cracks the hinge tabs.
Can you replace just the glove box latch on a Hyundai?
Yes, on most i20, Accent units the latch is a separate plastic module that unclips from the inside of the lid. A latch kit is cheaper than a full glove box, though colour-matched second-hand lids often make more sense.
