NF Sonata body creaks

I have had a similar noise in my 2006 Sonata since it was new. Mine occurs mainly during cold weather (40F or below) and generally only when hitting a fairly sharp bump. Mine makes a very loud creak/snapping sound. The dealer tried to put foam in various places in the dash, but never could find the problem. It almost sounds to me like it is coming from where the windshield attaches to the body, but I could never be sure. Mine is definitely on the right side near the bottom corner of the windshield. I have no idea though as to the source.

Try a search on this site.

I don't think body creaks are a safety issue. :-)

Depends on how far the rust has spread.

Thanks for suggestions. Agents are pulling the windscreen out this week so I,ll let you know what happens. Cheers john

In the US, there is a TSB about this creaking issue. It's caused by the glass rubbing against the frame and trim.

The fix involves injecting some lubricating oil into the gap between the window and the outside trim.

Much obliged MM. I,ll dig it out on the Hyundai website. John

Where do you find these? I keep getting directed to the AllData site which appears to be a pay to view site. :-)

Matt, I use HMAservice.com. You have to log in with usernames etc but I,ve found it invaluable even though its USA oriented. Cheers John

Agents removed/replaced the windscreen and thought there wasnt sufficient sealant around edge of windscreen. We,ll see. Pit they left glue marks all over dashboard. People wonder why I prefer to do things myself!. John
