Boot Lid Hinge Buffer Block for BYD Han & Seal, OE 12227329-00

Work from the fitment table on this page rather than from the model name alone. A small buffer block carries across a wide range of vehicles, which is helpful until two versions of the same model turn out to differ. Find your car in the table, then check the year and the variant, not just the badge on the boot. Reading the OE number off the old block is the surest confirmation of all. Where the table leaves you unsure, send a photograph of the old block and its number through the quote route and have it checked against the OE number.

Compare it with HAD-5604815 first. This item is known under that reference as well as under OE number 12227329-00, and a block marked either way is the same thing. On a part this small the moulded number is easy to misread once it is dirty, so clean it and look again in daylight before deciding. If neither reference matches, the quote route is the way to settle it. Send the number as you find it along with your vehicle details and it can be checked.

The delivery time is 8 to 25 days, from order to door. If your boot lid is knocking, order in good time rather than waiting until the noise annoys you. Should you need more than one for the car, order them together so they all move on the same schedule and you are not doing the job twice. The shipping cost for your country is shown on this page and confirmed at checkout before you pay.

Rubber. That is worth knowing when you compare the new one against the tired block you have taken off, because an old rubber part that has been squashed against the boot lid for years will look and feel firmer and flatter than the replacement. Judge fit from the OE number rather than from the shape of the worn one. The material is all that is given, so nothing about hardness or fixing method is stated here.

No. Black is the colour of this block and that is how it is supplied. Although it mounts on the outside of the car, it is a small block at the boot lid and it is meant to read as black against the bodywork rather than as body colour. Painting rubber that gets compressed every time the boot shuts is wasted effort, since the coating cracks off it. Fit it as delivered and leave the finish alone. The photographs on this page show what you will receive.

At the rear, on the outside of the vehicle, at the boot lid hinge. The mounting position is exterior and rear, which is why you will be looking at the back of the car with the boot open rather than anywhere inside it. No side is given for this reference, so nothing here puts it on the left or the right. Check the old block on your own car for its exact position before you take anything apart.

Only the Original/Genuine item from BYD is available for this reference. No Aftermarket equivalent is carried for OE number 12227329-00, so the page shows one version instead of two tiers to weigh against each other. There is nothing else available for this block. If you would like alternatives considered for your car, send a photograph of the old part and its label along with the reference through the quote route and it can be checked against the OE number before you decide anything.
