All safety system (air bag) harnesses have yellow on them. Look for wires and connectors with yellow. They are only on the front seats.

07 Elantra Mud Guards by oracle_of_rock

A couple of quick questions about the mud guards/all-weather floor mats that install on an 07 Elantra SE.
 
Are the mud guards a self-install situation or should you have the dealer do it? The reason I ask is because my SE has the larger wheels/tires and the rear wheel well space seems very limited. Since the front wheel turn, they shouldn't be much of a problem.
 
Do the width of the rear mud guards equal the width of the optional tires or are the mud guards narrower than the option tires?
 
Does anyone have any photos of an 07 Elantra w/the mud guards?
 
Has anyone run across all-weather mats that look OEM but don't cost what the OEMs do?
 
Thanks -- Rick

I want to say thank you we did what you said and one of the connectors was loose, because we had put a deodorant under the driver's seat.

Can someone tell how do you get the "sap" off the front car window, even when you take the car to the car wash it doesn't come off. We have tried car wash cleaners and none seem to work well. any suggestions.
 
What kind of tires should we consider for our 2001 elantra GLS? We need to get the two front tires replace, anyone
, thanks.

Look for a product at the auto parts store called "bug & tar remover". It should take the sap off as well. If you get it on your paint, though, you should wax the car afterward (because it removes wax as well).
 
As for tires, everyone has their own preferences. Popular tires for the Elantra include Cooper Lifeliner SLEs, Falken Ziex ZE512s and Kumho Ecstas.

Thanks for the Bug & Tar remover its working fine.
2001 elantra gls, want to change front brake pads on car, what racket sockets or other tools are needed to change and replace the front brake pads.
 
Also on the car the front headlights covers are plastic, how do we take them off and either replace or clean them. \

You need a metric socket set for the front brakes; I think 10mm is the magic one. You will also need a C-clamp to retract the piston. Work only one side at a time so that you have one to look at as an example when putting the one you're working on back together.
 
If you decide to do the rears as well, you can't just push the piston straight back; you have to twist as you push and kind of "screw it in". There are tools for this you can buy at an auto parts store (for as little as $10), or I've heard some people say they used needle nose pliers in the the little indentations in the face of the piston.
 
If you decide to remove the rotors, you may find they are stuck on and fused to the hub; this happens in some cases. In the exteme, they occasionally need to be cut off with a hack saw or sawzall and replaced. If they are not pulsing or anyting right now, leave well enough alone.
 
As for the headlight lenses, there are products available at auto parts stores for polishing them, but you might try using plain old toothpaste first.

I installed the factory option mud guards on my 2007 SE and it was very easy. They are wide enough to protect the car but are small enough to be unnoticed. I will see if I can post a picture later.
