Used Hyundai i10 Window Regulator

The i10 runs across two main generations: the first generation (Mk1) from 2008 to 2013, and the second generation (Mk2) from 2013 onwards, with a facelift arriving in 2017. Window regulators are generation-specific, so a Mk1 part will not suit a Mk2 car and vice versa. When getting a quote from a breaker, confirm which generation your car belongs to by providing your registration.

The 2016 i10 sits in the pre-facelift Mk2 range, while the 2018 model falls after the 2017 facelift – both are Mk2 second-generation cars, so the body structure is the same generation. However, because your question spans the 2017 facelift boundary, you should confirm with the breaker against your exact registration whether the regulator design changed at that point. Always specify nearside (NS, passenger side) or offside (OS, driver side) when requesting a quote, as the two sides are not interchangeable.

Yes, it matters for the front doors – the door frame dimensions differ between 3-door and 5-door body styles, so the regulators are not the same part. Rear door regulators are only fitted to 5-door versions, so there is no crossover concern there. Tell your breaker your body style, door position, and NS or OS side to make sure you get the right part.

Trim level does not affect window regulator fitment on the i10 – the door frame and glass dimensions are the same across trims like SE and Premium SE within the same generation. What can vary between trims is whether the regulator is electric or manual, and that is worth confirming with the breaker against your registration rather than assuming from the trim name alone. You may also receive a regulator in a different interior colour, but that has no bearing on fitment.

No – nearside and offside regulators are mirror images of each other and are not interchangeable. Always specify NS (nearside, left/passenger side) or OS (offside, right/driver side) clearly when contacting a breaker. Getting this wrong is one of the most common ordering mistakes and will result in a part that cannot be fitted.

The 2012 i10 is a Mk1 first-generation model, while 2013 marks the start of the Mk2 second generation, meaning these cars have different body structures. A regulator from a 2013 or 2014 Mk2 car is therefore from a different generation and is very unlikely to be compatible with your 2012 Mk1. Confirm with the breaker using your registration to be certain, and always state your door position and NS or OS side when requesting a quote.
