What Are Hyundai ix35 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 ix35
What changes across the range
ix35 owners are usually surprised by how much turns on the generation code — LM all sold here.
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.
Worth knowing: the ix35mechanically the same vehicle as the LM-generation Tucson, and a close relative of the Kia Sportage SL.
What we check on glove compartment
- •The generation code, because ix35 parts lists split on it
- •The engine family — this ix35 was sold with Theta II 2.0 and R-line 2.0 CRDi
- •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 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.
ix35 Glove Compartment: Common Questions
Will glove compartment 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.
Can you source glove compartment for the ix35 if local stock is dry?
Usually, yes. The ix35 mechanically the same vehicle as the LM-generation Tucson, and a close relative of the Kia Sportage SL, which gives us a second catalogue to search when Hyundai-listed stock runs out. We will tell you what we are quoting rather than leaving you to guess.
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?
