Anyone know how to tighten up the driver's side sunvisor so that it will stay put. On my 91 Civic, all that has to be done is tighten a phillips head screw and it's good to go. I don't see any adjustment screws on my 06 Sonata and I'd rather not have to take the time to make an appointment with the dealer for what would seem an easy fix. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Has anyone ever gotten a spoiler put on the trunk by a Hyundai dealership? Do they even do that? I have a silver 07 Sonata SE and would love to get a spoiler for it. I do realize that I could buy one online but I want it installed at a dealer so that I can go somewhere if things don't work out. Do you know if holes have to be drilled into the trunk or if its just glue?
Thank...

Hey all,
I bought a used Thule set up from a friend. It has the square load bars and the wide mouth bike racks (2). I also have the fairing. The whole setup was fine on my previous car (a Mazda). With the Sonata fit kit (2169 - and following the directions precisely, the front left hand clip is digging into my front driver door weatherstripping and making it fray. All other doors are...

Does anyone out there have the colour codes for the wiring at the brake, running and turn lights in the trunk space.
I need to hard wire a harness and would like to check out the color coding of the wiring before starting out.

I just had these installed at the dealer as a part of "We owe".
The fronts fit perfect. The part number is 08460-3K000.
The rears fit, but not like the fronts. The clip that is under the car is pulling out and around the outside edge it is bowed. This is happening on both sides. The part number on the invoice for the rears is 08460-3K500.

06 Sonata V6 (42 K miles)
So I went to get my brakes checked at brakecheck. Steering wheels shakes when I brake...I figured it was rotors.
With some minor fixes, new brake pads, the bill came out to be 320 bucks....so I am thinking I might as well get a set new rotors and brake pads.
I just did a new set on my 06 Maxima and the entire bill was under 3 bill...drilled/slotted,...

The rims I have seen that I really like are 16X7 and 5x4.5 (5x114.3) with an offset of 42. American Casino diamond cut. Anyone have these?

My father in law just picked up a new 07 Sonata as part of the model year clear out. 2 days after he had it, the roof stopped working.. dealer replaced a fuse and said bring it back if it happens again... duh. 3 weeks later same issue.
He hasn't taken it in yet, but I find it a bit unusual that this happened again.. short somewhere I suspect.
Has anyone else had this issue...

My 2006 sonata came with 215 60 16 tires it is time to replace them can i install 225 60 16 tires in place of the oem tires.
If i do are there any issues i need to know about?
The dealer where i purchased the car seemed to think it would cause little problem.
But before i buy new tires was interested in your opinions.

In 2008 ltd- is there a speedometer calibration the dealer can do? I have found that the analog speedometer is ~3MPH faster than actual at 55MPH (using a couple of different high speed GPS that match other cars dead on). I know it is not much, but it seems unfair that my lovely car will rack up miles quicker than it should.

Hi,
I've noticed that my transmission takes 1 second (say the word one normally) to kick into gear after I put it in drive. If I don't wait for it to kick into gear and push the accelerator (after it's in drive) then it jumps into gear and lurches forward. Other than this the shifting if flawless. I'm wondering if this is a problem I should have looked at or it's...

Hi, guys!
I have some confusion on front brake pads for 2006+ 3.3L model.
After some online research, there are two different types for 2006+ 3.3L model: part number with 924 and 1125. I picked 924 and installed on my 2006 Sonata; however, its width is about 1/8" shorter than OEM so it does NOT completely cover the swept area of rotor. I suspect that 924 perfectly...

I really wanted to install an aftermarket in-dash dvd-nav, but unfortunatly you can't buy the dash kit for the 09's yet. Yes, metra has the part listed on their website but you can't buy it yet(I called them).
