Try cleaning them from the outside. If they have moisture on the inside, try taking them off the car and putting them in the oven at very low setting (warm) to get the moisture out. If they need to be physically cleaned on the inside surface (which I doubt), you can heat them up a little more and actually disassemble the headlamp. I need to look around to see what temeperature; it's not very high. They are held together with a sealant that gets flexible when it's heated up.

Well, I got the front mud guards installed but there just isn't enough room for both my hand the the screw driver to get the rear mud guards installed. I suppose you could remove the rear wheels (I got around that issue up front because the front wheels turn) but that's a lot of bother for three screws per guard!!
How did you do it???

Has anyone installed the engine heater I seen listed at the various parts outlets? It's fairly cheap (less than $40) but I was wondering if it was worth it?
Thanks!!

Did you try a stubby screwdriver? If that doesn't work, then you'll have to remove the wheels.

I installed the mudguards on the front and rear with no problem. For the front tires get in and turn your wheel opposite directions to be able to fit a screwdriver in there. You will have to change direction for each front side but its easy then. No need to remove tires.

That's what I did too BUT what about the rear guards?? You can't turn those tires and there's no way you can get your hand and your screw driver in that tight space.

I finally got all the mud guards install. Like I said, the front ones weren't bad; you just turn the steering wheel to gain access BUT the rear guards were nearly impossible to install. After several hours of struggling, I finally got the right guard installed. As for the left guard, I removed the tire. I should have done that for the right one too. The next time I'd let the dealer to it 
On the Elantra with the wider, larger alloy wheels (SE),unless you have very small hands or special tools, it's all but impossible to install the rear guards without removing the wheel!!!

How I got my rear mud guards installed

Took my elantra to the tire shop and the guy there removed the tires and installed them for a tip ($8). Yeah, I could've jacked the car myself and done the same but he had the tools and it was done in like 10 minutes.

What I want to know is how [doohickie] did his mud guards (front and rear) without removing the rear tires??  Without very little hands or special tools, I can't see how it could be done??

Ok here I go again. I am interested in replacing the original cassette player with a CD player and Satellite. Any suggestions in the brand of the CD Player? I still have the original speakers and dont plan to change them until I hear how the new equipment is being played. I know that Sirruis is the sattellite company.
If anyone out there can help please reply to me.
Thanks so much for your replies.
Nan
