Bonnet Hinge (Left) for BYD Seal 05 DM-i, OE 12232831-00

This is the left hand bonnet hinge for the Seal 05 DM-i. Left and right are read from the driver's seat facing forward, not from standing in front of the car, which is where most wrong orders come from. Raise the bonnet and look at the rear corner on the passenger side of a right hand drive car. The hinge bolted there is the left one. If the bent or seized hinge is on the opposite corner, order the right hand reference instead, because it is listed as its own item.

This hinge is offered in two tiers, Original/Genuine and Aftermarket, and both are priced on this page. The Original/Genuine line is the BYD part. The Aftermarket line is an equivalent produced by another manufacturer to the same OE number, 12232831-00. No maker is named for the aftermarket line, so none is given here. Take the genuine tier if you want the part the car left the factory with. Take the aftermarket tier if the price shown on this page weighs more heavily. The same fitment table applies to both.

This part carries two references. The OE number is 12232831-00 and the alternative reference alongside it is HAD-8402610. Either marking points at the same hinge. Old hinges in the engine bay collect paint and dirt, so wipe the flange before you decide the number does not match. If you can read a third number that matches neither, do not order on a guess. Send a photograph of the old part and its label through the quote route and we will confirm against the OE number before anything is picked for you.

Allow 8 to 28 days for delivery, counted from your order to your door. Only one of the two applies to any given order, and the page shows which. The shipping cost for your country is shown at checkout before you pay. Before you order, check the number on your old part against OE 12232831-00. If anything about the timing matters for a booked repair, ask through the quote route on this page.

Metal is the material of this bonnet hinge, with no alloy or coating named, so none is claimed here. The practical effect is a solid part that is hard to damage on its way to you. Check the bolt holes and the pivot against the hinge you are taking off before the old one is scrapped.
