Replying to: jim101 (Feb 07, 2008 7:20 pm) re # 30: I'm placing my order for the Genesis this week   Let us know how that goes, and if the dealer is even in the Genesis loop.   Congratulations, you will no doubt have one of the first off the ship.

Replying to: jim101 (Feb 07, 2008 7:20 pm) RE: 30 This tedious job was performed twice by dealer, under warranty. On each occasion they replaced sagging sun shade with a new unit. It is now working fine. Why would you want to go through the labor of taking apart car and not replacing the shade with a new one? If you are concerned about the speaker mount modification, do it as the tech is replacing the sun shade. Replies to this message: jim101 (Feb 08, 2008 6:59 am) pcunniff (Feb 29, 2008 4:13 am)

Replying to: floridabob1 (Feb 08, 2008 3:35 am) I'm an efficiency engineer and often want to see how something was engineered and if it could have been more user friendly. In this case a modification to the package tray would reduce this to removal of a much smaller piece of package tray from the front of the screen area, the piece behind the screen and then removal of the screen. Basically current design is not ideal, all of this stuff needs to be removed to replace the third stoplight. It also allowed me to fix the speaker.   Replacing the whole unit is not cost effective if by design the problem can be corrected at the manufacturer.   And, our local dealer just doesn't give me a warm fuzzy feeling due to some poor service in years past.

#34 of 40 Re: Azera 2006 Noises: [Azera 07: brand-new] by pcunniff Feb 29, 2008 (4:09 am)
Replying to: azera_06 (Apr 22, 2007 11:21 am) My brand-new 07 Azera has an intermittent rattle (small-ish but annoying) from the center/top dash area. My guess is that it is in the center speaker, because it seems to stop if you press down on it.   Worse is the rattle from the rear package-shelf area. It is also intermittent, and sounds like metal-on-metal. You can hear it clearly every time you slam a rear door, as well. My guess is if I removed the trunk dress-up cladding from the area of the trunk-lid hinges and had someone keep slamming the door while I lay in the trunk, I could locate and do something about the rattle myself. However, I'm afraid that I would someone damage the clips holding up the cladding (not knowing anything about how to go about it) and wind up with sagging cladding as a reward for my efforts.   Love the car, but am kind of p.o.'d about this.   Anyone have any thoughts?

Replying to: jim101 (Feb 08, 2008 6:59 am) Your post came up when I posted the reply (to a different post) below [I am new at this]. It sounds like you may know exactly what I should do. Any suggestions?   Here's the post:   My brand-new 07 Azera has an intermittent rattle (small-ish but annoying) from the center/top dash area.

Replying to: jim101 (Feb 07, 2008 7:20 pm) Just read your post, and would like to ask you to clarify something for me (a non-techie/dependent-on-dealer-service guy). This rattle that happens intermittently (I think the colder it gets the worse it gets) when you slam a rear door and/or go over a bump is (we think) a loose rear center speaker mounting? If so, can you condense the fix into a few very brief, "dumb-dealer-proof" sentences so that I can furnish the dealer with instructions the next time it goes in for service? Thanks.
#37 of 40 Side-view mirrors: Reverse-tilt-down failure by pcunniff Mar 02, 2008 (4:36 pm)
The owner's manual for both my 07 Azera Limited and a more-or-less base 08 Kia Sedona which I rented recently clearly state that when you put the transmission in reverse the side-view mirrors are supposed to automatically tilt down for a better view of the ground behind you (just as they do in my wife's SRX). So, it's clearly a standard Hyundai feature. However, neither car's mirrors would actually does anything of the sort, no matter where I positioned the mirror-adjust selector switch.   My Hyundai dealer has no clue that the feature is even supposed to be on the car, and claimed that they cannot do anything about it.   Anyone have any clues?

Replying to: pcunniff (Mar 02, 2008 4:36 pm) Not an option on the US version of any Azerea's yet. You'll probably find a few items or options listed in the manual that are only available outside the US.

Replying to: pcunniff (Feb 29, 2008 4:09 am) I have the same problem on my dash and have taken it to 2 different dealers. One said it's the foam rubbing against the plastic, which is then rubbing against the windshield. The noise tends to get louder the more I drive it and/or the warmer it gets.   He also said that the only "possible" solution would be to completely replace the dash pad, which meant taking out the entire dash assembly. I'm just under my 1-year/12,000 mile warranty and it would be now or never. Even if I did replace it all, there's a chance one can open themselves up to more noises, since it's reinstalled by tech guys and not at the factory. Apparently there are more than 300 screws in the dash.   So I took it to another dealer for a 2nd opinion. He basically said the same thing. My noise is so loud sometimes that I need to actually turn on the radio to drown it out. Not SO horrible with XM and all, but I don't want to always have my radio on.   I decided to choose my battles carefully and hope that over time the squeaks actually wear themselves out by rubbing for so long.   If you find ANYTHING out, I'm all ears.
#40 of 40 Fix for Rattle in Right Rear Package Shelf by pcunniff Jul 23, 2008 (4:56 am)
Liberty Hyundai of Mahwah, NJ successfully eliminated this rattle (which has been present in my 2007 Azera Limited since I bought it, growing gradually worse and worse, less so in hot weather, worst of all in cold) during a warranty visit. They diagnosed the problem as a loose drain tube for the sunroof and re-secured it. Voila: the rattle is gone.   Now, if they could just do the same for the creaking from the front center speaker grille....
