Finding the Right Hyundai Elantra 2017 Logo Part Number
Finding the correct part number for your 2017 Hyundai Elantra's logo can be tricky, as it depends on the specific location of the logo (front grille, steering wheel, etc.) and whether you need the emblem itself or the surrounding parts. This guide will walk you through the process of identifying and locating the correct part number.
What Specific Logo Are You Looking For?
This is the most crucial first step. A 2017 Hyundai Elantra has several logos:
- Front Grille Emblem: This is the largest and most prominent logo, usually located in the center of the grille.
- Steering Wheel Emblem: A smaller logo often embossed or inlaid in the steering wheel.
- Trunk/Boot Emblem: Located on the rear of the vehicle, on the trunk lid.
- Wheel Center Caps: Smaller logos found in the center of your wheels.
Knowing the precise location of the logo you need is essential to finding the right part number.
How to Find the Part Number:
Several methods can help you find the correct part number:
-
Your Hyundai Dealership: The most reliable way. Simply contact your local Hyundai dealership, provide your vehicle's VIN (Vehicle Identification Number), and specify the logo's location. They'll access the parts database and provide the exact part number.
-
Online Parts Websites: Many reputable websites specialize in Hyundai parts. These websites often have search functions where you can enter your vehicle's year, make, and model. However, be cautious and only use trusted sources to avoid counterfeit parts. Double-check the part description carefully before ordering. When searching, try variations of your search terms, for example, "2017 Hyundai Elantra front grille emblem," or "2017 Hyundai Elantra trunk logo."
-
Hyundai's Official Website: While not always directly providing part numbers, Hyundai's website might offer access to parts diagrams or direct you to a parts retailer.
-
Your Owner's Manual: While unlikely to list part numbers directly, your owner's manual might have diagrams that show the logo's location. This information can help you when contacting a dealership or parts retailer.
What if I Only Have a Picture of the Logo?
If you only have an image of the logo, you can try a reverse image search using Google Images or a similar tool. This might lead you to websites selling the logo or providing additional information. However, this method is less reliable than using your VIN or providing a clear description to a Hyundai dealership.
What if the Part Number is Damaged or Missing?
If the part number is unreadable, you'll need to rely on the methods mentioned above, emphasizing the logo's location. A clear description to your local Hyundai dealership remains the most effective approach in this scenario.
Remember to always double-check the part number before purchasing to ensure it matches your specific 2017 Hyundai Elantra and the logo's location. Using the correct part number ensures a proper fit and avoids unnecessary returns or replacements.
