Fitment on a used wiper motor varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
The Hyundai Coupe (also sold as the Tiburon in some markets) ran in the UK across two main generations: the first generation (RD) from 1996 to 2002, and the second generation (GK) from 2002 to 2009. These two generations are mechanically quite different, so a wiper motor from the first generation is very unlikely to fit the second, and you should always specify which generation your car belongs to when getting a quote from a breaker.
These two cars sit in different generations — the 2001 model is a first-generation RD Coupe, while the 2003 is a second-generation GK Coupe — so the wiper motors are not expected to be interchangeable. The changeover happened in 2002, making this a cross-generation boundary, and you should confirm with the breaker against your registration before assuming any part will transfer across it.
For wiper motors, trim level does not affect fitment — the S, SE, and SIII trims within the same generation all use the same front wiper motor assembly. You may notice cosmetic differences in how components are presented by a breaker, but the mechanical part itself is the same across trims within a generation, so don't rule out a part just because it came from a different trim to yours.
Yes, front and rear wiper motors are completely different parts with different fixings, connectors, and mechanisms, so you must be clear with the breaker about which one you need. Confirm whether your car has a rear wiper fitted, as not all Hyundai Coupes were specified with one, and always quote your registration to the breaker so they can match the correct motor.
It is possible that wiper motors from other Hyundai models of the same era share components, but this varies and is not something that can be stated with confidence for a specific swap. Your best approach is to give the breaker your registration and let them cross-reference part numbers, rather than assuming a motor from another model will bolt straight in.
The Hyundai Coupe is a relatively niche used-car in the UK, so availability at breakers can vary — it is worth contacting several through a marketplace like Findapart to improve your chances. When you enquire, tell the breaker your registration number, whether you need the front or rear motor, and confirm which generation your car is (RD 1996–2002 or GK 2002–2009) to help them find the right part quickly.
