Hyundai Santa Fe Right Rear Door Panel

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.

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.

Three things: the interior colour, whether that door had a speaker or a blank grille, and whether the window is manual or electric — Hyundai kept wind-up rear windows on base derivatives long after the fronts went electric. Get those right and the panel drops straight on.

Unclip the triangular mirror cover, take out the two or three screws behind the door pull and armrest, then work a trim tool round the edge to release the clips. Lift the panel up off the window ledge before you disconnect the switch loom, not after.

They are effectively single-use — levering the card off fatigues the plastic arms even when they look fine afterwards. We replace every clip on every panel removal as a matter of course. Reusing tired clips is the single biggest cause of rattles and sagging trim on a refitted door.

Yes, and you should order them before you start rather than mid-job. They are inexpensive and sold in packs. Hyundai used more than one clip pattern across the range, so send the model and generation and we will match the right one.

A used panel from a stripped Hyundai is the economical route by some distance. Request a free quote with your model, year and trim colour — we match cloth, leather or eco-leather properly rather than sending a close-enough colour and hoping.
