Hyundai Repair: Door Panel Removal for Window Repair, phillips screws, hyundai tiburon


Question
The driver side window on my 2001 Hyundai Tiburon has fallen to the bottom of the door.  Can you tell me how to remove the panel and reset my window?

Answer
I won't be able to tell you what's wrong with your window.  You'll need to investigate once you have the door panel off in order to find the cause.

As best I can recall, here's how to remove the panel:
-Remove the outer half of the pull grip.
-Look around the outside edge of the door and remove the small round covers (about 1/4") to expose the phillips screw heads.
-Remove the phillips screws holding the door panel in place.  There should be two in the inside door handle bezel, two in the pull grip, and several around the outside edge of the door panel.
-Pry off the triangular mirror garnish.
-Remove the inside door handle bezel.
-Pull out on the bottom of the door panel to unsnap it from the door and then lift upward to take off the door.
-Unplug the items in the panel to be able to move the panel away from the door.
-Pull back the plastic liner to investigate what's wrong with the window.
