Used Hyundai Santa Fe Roof Panel

The Santa Fe has run in distinct generations: the first generation ran from 2001 to 2006, the second generation (SM/CM platform) from 2006 to 2012, the third generation (DM) from 2012 to 2018 with a facelift around 2015, and the fourth generation (TM) from 2018 onwards. A roof panel must come from the same generation as your car, as each generation uses a completely different body shell and pressing. Confirm the exact generation against your registration with the breaker before ordering.

Both years sit within the third generation DM Santa Fe, but 2015 is the facelift year for that generation, meaning your 2014 car is pre-facelift and the 2016 is post-facelift. While both share the DM platform and overall body structure, mid-generation pressing changes around a facelift can affect roof panel profiles or drainage channels in ways that are not always obvious. Name that 2015 boundary to your breaker and have them confirm the specific part numbers match your registration before committing.

Trim level does not affect roof panel fitment on the Santa Fe — the pressing is the same across SE, Premium, and Ultimate grades within the same generation. What may differ is the presence of a factory panoramic sunroof aperture or roof rail mounting points depending on specification, so check whether the donor car's panel matches your car's sunroof and rail setup rather than worrying about trim badges. Your breaker can cross-reference this against your registration.

The standard Santa Fe has been offered in both five-seat and seven-seat configurations, and within the same generation these variants share the same body shell and roof panel pressing. The seven-seat version extends the rear passenger space internally rather than altering the external roof structure, so the panel itself is the same part. Confirm this with the breaker against your specific registration to be certain.

The Santa Fe sold in the UK is largely the same body as the international version, but some markets received variants badged or specified differently on the same platform, and pressing differences between these cannot be stated with certainty here. Route this question directly to your breaker, quoting your full registration, and ask them to compare part numbers before you agree to buy.

First confirm the generation matches yours exactly — first, second (2006–2012), third DM (2012–2018), or fourth TM (2018 on) — and that the donor car shares your body style and sunroof aperture specification. Check that roof rail mounting holes match if your car has factory rails, as fitting a panel without the correct holes is a complication you want to avoid. Ask the breaker to verify all of this against your registration plate rather than relying on year alone.
