Second Hand Hyundai Santa Fe Wing Mirror

The Santa Fe has run across several distinct generations: the first generation (SM) ran from 2001 to 2006, the second generation (CM) 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. Wing mirrors are generation-specific, so always match to your generation first. Give your registration to the breaker so they can confirm the exact fit.

This is where the DM generation facelift matters: the DM ran from 2012 to 2018, with a facelift in 2015 that can affect exterior trim and mirror housings. A pre-facelift mirror (2012–2014) and a post-facelift mirror (2015–2018) may look different or mount differently, so crossing that 2015 boundary is something you should confirm with the breaker against both registrations rather than assume they swap directly.

Yes, this is one of the most important details — NS (nearside, passenger side, left) and OS (offside, driver side, right) mirrors are not interchangeable. Always specify which side you need when contacting a breaker, as they are completely different parts.

Trim level does not determine the mirror mounting or frame fitment, so a Classic and a Premium SE on the same generation will take the same base mirror unit for the same side. However, higher trims may have had additional features such as electric folding, heating, or an integrated indicator, and whether your replacement mirror includes those features is something to confirm with the breaker against your registration rather than assume from trim name alone.

No — these are separate generations with different body structures, so the mirrors are not interchangeable across that 2012 generational boundary. Always source a mirror from within the same generation as your vehicle, and confirm with the breaker using your registration to be certain.

Colour is not a fitment issue — the mirror frame and mounting are what need to match your vehicle, and the housing can be resprayed to match your bodywork. Focus on getting the correct generation, side (NS or OS), and confirming any feature compatibility with the breaker; colour is simply a cosmetic finishing step.
