Hyundai ix35 Right Rear Quarter Panel
Right Rear Quarter Panel to suit the Hyundai ix35, cross-referenced against OEM specification and dispatched countrywide
What Are Hyundai ix35 Right Rear Quarter Panel?
The right rear quarter is the welded panel running from the rear door to the boot and around the wheel arch. It is structural, not a bolt-on, so this is a cut-and-weld job rather than an unbolt-and-swap one — and on some derivatives it carries the fuel filler neck, which is worth confirming on your own car before ordering rather than assuming. Rust starts at the arch lip and works inward, and it is markedly worse on coastal KwaZulu-Natal cars than on Gauteng ones. Send photos with the enquiry: whether a section repair will do or the full panel is needed is a decision better made from pictures than from a description.
Signs You Need New Right Rear Quarter Panel
What a parts desk needs to know about your ix35
The ix35 reached South Africa as LM, and that alone changes what fits.Because the ix35 and the LM Tucson are one vehicle under two names, parts listed for either will usually interchange — worth knowing when one listing is dry and the other is not.
- 1
Find the generation code on your ix35 — it appears on the VIN plate and on the original registration paperwork.
- 2
Confirm the engine family. The ix35 ran Theta II 2.0 and R-line 2.0 CRDi in this market.
- 3
Send both to us with the right rear quarter panel 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 ix35mechanically the same vehicle as the LM-generation Tucson, and a close relative of the Kia Sportage SL — which widens where we can look when local stock is thin.
In South Africa the ix35 is mostly sold in big numbers as a mid-size family SUV and now firmly in the second- and third-owner phase, where turbo, injector and body-panel demand peaks. That is the wear pattern we stock and source against.
Hyundai ix35 Right Rear Quarter Panel — Questions We Get Asked
Will right rear quarter panel from another ix35 fit mine?
Not automatically. The ix35 sold in South Africa as LM, and because the ix35 and the LM Tucson are one vehicle under two names, parts listed for either will usually interchange — worth knowing when one listing is dry and the other is not. 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 ix35 come with?
SA-market cars ran Theta II 2.0, R-line 2.0 CRDi. The code stamped on the block is what we work from — the badge on the boot is not reliable on its own.
Can a quarter panel be repaired rather than replaced?
Often, yes. Dents without tears and surface rust can be pulled and refinished. Deep creases, a torn arch lip or perforated metal need a section grafted in or a used panel cut from a donor car. A decent body shop will quote both routes side by side — ask for that rather than accepting one number.
Why is this not a bolt-on job?
Because the quarter is welded, not bolted — it is part of the shell rather than an attachment to it. That is what separates this from a door or a fender, and it is why the labour rather than the panel drives the cost. On some derivatives it also carries the fuel filler neck, which is worth confirming on your own car before ordering.
Do Hyundais rust on the rear quarters?
We see it on older Getz, i20 and Accent cars, and some 2016+ Hyundais have shown arch corrosion too. Coastal cars suffer worst — a KwaZulu-Natal car and an inland car of the same age are not comparable here. Anti-perforation cover, where a car still has it, generally applies only to rust working from the inside out, which is not what arch-lip corrosion usually is.
What does quarter panel work cost?
It ranges widely, because a localised rust repair and respray and a full cut-and-weld are different jobs with different bills. We work with our SA supplier network and the Engine Finder Hyundai Network for used panels. Send photos with the enquiry — this is a job that cannot be quoted accurately from a description.
Is a dented quarter worth fixing?
Usually. A crease stresses the paint, and rust starts where the paint has been stressed, so leaving it tends to turn a dent into a corrosion repair. If resale matters at all, a straightened and resprayed quarter protects trade-in value far better than the damage does.
