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

What Are Hyundai Santa Fe 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.

Santa Fe Right Front Door: what actually decides fitment
What changes across the range
On the Santa Fe, SM, CM, DM and TM are all in circulation locally, and they do not share one parts list.
Five- and seven-seat derivatives differ well beyond the third-row seat itself — floor pan, trim, glass and rear HVAC parts all follow the seating configuration.
Worth knowing: the Santa Fea platform relative of the Kia Sorento across several generations.
What we check on right front door
- •The generation code, because Santa Fe parts lists split on it
- •The engine family — this Santa Fe was sold with Delta 2.7 V6 (SM), 2.2 CRDi (CM) and R-line 2.2 CRDi (DM, TM)
- •The generation code, whether the car is pre- or post-facelift, and the paint code
- •Whether the car is pre- or post-facelift within its generation
In South Africa the Santa Fe is mostly the tow car of the range, so cooling, driveline and rear-suspension components carry loads the same parts never see on a lighter Hyundai. That is the wear pattern we stock and source against.
Before You Order Santa Fe Right Front Door
Will right front door from another Santa Fe fit mine?
Not automatically. The Santa Fe sold in South Africa as SM, CM, DM and TM, and five- and seven-seat derivatives differ well beyond the third-row seat itself — floor pan, trim, glass and rear HVAC parts all follow the seating configuration. 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 Santa Fe?
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 Santa Fe specifically, five- and seven-seat derivatives differ well beyond the third-row seat itself — floor pan, trim, glass and rear HVAC parts all follow the seating configuration.
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.
