Model: Hyundai Sonata - Years 2004-2014

To remove the bonnet safely, at least two people are needed. In order, remove: the front side indicators, the front bumper, the front light units, and the front wing panel. Once this is done, disconnect the washer hose and remove: the bonnet insulator, the seal of the separation panel between the engine compartment and the cabin, the bonnet, its hinge, and the support rod for the bonnet. The new bonnet should be installed in reverse order to that of removal and aligned properly.
