Service Procedure





An additional drip rail moulding clip may be added between the 2nd and 3rd clips, about 2/3 of the way up the "A" pillar, to eliminate the wind noise.





1. Press up on the inside of the drip rail midway up the "A" pillar. Insert a Hyundai Trim Removal Tool (Special Service Tool part number 09800-21000) between the "A" pillar and the drip rail moulding.

Note:
The Hyundai Trim Removal Tool is strongly recommended for this repair. The use of other tools may result in paint damage.





2. Carefully slide the Trim Removal tool up to the third (3rd) clip. Position the tool just above the clip.





3. Place the tip of the tool on the outside of the sheet metal flange (drip rail). Press the tool down to disengage the clip.





4. Repeat procedure to disengage the two lower clips on the drip rail.





5. Insert a new clip between the 2nd and 3rd clips, about 2/3 of the way up the "A" pillar.





6. Press drip rail moulding back into place. Verify that the drip rail moulding is flush and even with the "A"' pillar. If it is gapped, twist the drip rail moulding down into the "A" pillar, while pressing it into place to fully seat the clips.
