Hyundai i20 Glove Compartment
Glove Compartment for the Hyundai i20 — new, used and aftermarket stock, quoted once we know which i20 you are running
What Are Hyundai i20 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.

How we match glove compartment to your i20
What changes across the range
The i20 reached South Africa as PB, then GB, then the current BC3, and that alone changes what fits.
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.
Worth knowing: the i20shares its Kappa and Gamma engine families with the Kia Rio.
What we check on glove compartment
- •The generation code, because i20 parts lists split on it
- •The engine family — this i20 was sold with Kappa 1.2, Gamma 1.4 and Kappa 1.0 T-GDi (N Line)
- •The trim level, the interior colour, and whether the car has leather or cloth
- •Whether the car is pre- or post-facelift within its generation
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.
Hyundai i20 Glove Compartment FAQs
Will glove compartment 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.
What should I send you when asking about i20 glove compartment?
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 i20 ran as PB, then GB, then the current BC3, so the generation is what narrows the search.
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.
Where can I buy a Hyundai glove compartment in South Africa?
