Hyundai i20 Right Front Door
Whether your i20 is an early or late build, we match the right front door to your derivative rather than to the badge

What Are Hyundai i20 Right Front Door?
The right front door is the complete shell with hinges, latch, window regulator, wiring and sometimes the mirror. On Hyundai Getz, i20, Accent models we see false 'door open' warnings from worn microswitches and exterior handles that go slack, both of which often need a full door or at minimum the latch replaced.
Signs You Need New Right Front Door
What a parts desk needs to know about your i20
Sold here across PB, then GB, then the current BC3, the i20 is not one car for parts purposes — it is several.The PB and GB are different cars underneath despite the shared badge, so a part listed simply as "i20" is not automatically the right one — the generation code decides it.
- 1
Find the generation code on your i20 — it appears on the VIN plate and on the original registration paperwork.
- 2
Confirm the engine family. The i20 ran Kappa 1.2, Gamma 1.4 and Kappa 1.0 T-GDi (N Line) in this market.
- 3
Send both to us with the right front door you are after , along with the generation code, whether the car is pre- or post-facelift, and the paint code. We match it before we quote, not after.
Sourcing note: the i20shares its Kappa and Gamma engine families with the Kia Rio — which widens where we can look when local stock is thin.
In South Africa the i20 is mostly a high-mileage commuter hatch that spends its life in stop-start city traffic, which is why wear items move faster on an i20 than on almost anything else Hyundai sells here. That is the wear pattern we stock and source against.
Before You Order i20 Right Front Door
Will right front door from another i20 fit mine?
Not automatically. The i20 sold in South Africa as PB, then GB, then the current BC3, and the PB and GB are different cars underneath despite the shared badge, so a part listed simply as "i20" is not automatically the right one — the generation code decides it. Send us the generation code off your VIN plate and we will confirm it either way before anything is dispatched.
How do you check right front door actually fits a i20?
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 i20 specifically, the PB and GB are different cars underneath despite the shared badge, so a part listed simply as "i20" is not automatically the right one — the generation code decides it.
How much does it cost to replace a Hyundai front door in South Africa?
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.
Why does my Hyundai show 'front right hand door open' when it is closed?
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.
Why won't my Hyundai front door open from the outside?
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.
How do I fix a faulty door sensor on a Hyundai?
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.
Can I get a used Hyundai front door from a scrapyard?
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.
