REPAIRING broken lower door molding garnish 2014 hyundai santa fe 877222W000CA

Trim pieces are always easy to figure out once you get them off and probably break them once. In this video we show how the trim piece works so hopefully you won’t have to break it to see how it works. This lower molding had some of the clips break and some of the trim itself break.In the video we repair of the trim piece rather than buy a new one. Since the plastic is polyethylene you can’t glue the plastic it Hass to be plastic weld it with a soldering iron. It’s amazing how strong of a repair this makes. You remove the entire piece pull the clips off and then in one forward motion do you assemble the entire piece.

Thanks heaps for the vid. Having just endured the same repair, I'd like to offer viewers a couple of other tips. Before removing, undo the the nuts that hold the big clips, one at either end. The nuts are on the interior side of the door, at the bottom and are plastic coated. You can undo them with your fingers. Easy! If you don't do this and those clips (or rather, the molded mounts they slide into) aren't already broken, they will break and mean more plastic welding for you. At around 2:40 in the video, the guy says 'these one don't need a clip they just push onto the square'. They don't push on! You can see they're supposed to slide on but from opposite directions. This did my head in! But, if you remove the clips like I mentioned above, you can slide them in while it's off the door, then when you push the molding onto the door, the bolts pop through the holes and you can do the nuts up on the interior side. Finally, I've got to say... Hyundai... I know you want a clean look, but there's got to be a better way than this! If you are going to engineer it as a disposable part, don't charge $480 to supply and fit. That's what they wanted in Australia!

Great comment, very helpful, need to fix mine!

[@derek9968]

Very helpful comment to tighten up the bolts from the interior of the car door. I didn't realize that's how it worked until you mentioned it.

[@leetaylor5211]

I just came back to this video to offer the advice as well, good point as these are the strongest points holding the trim on.

[@leonardwelthagen]

This is required information that should have been part of the video.

[@richardharris6806]

Well said. This is a design flaw of the Santa Fe. The trim catches on high grassy verges and rips clean off. My wife has managed to do it twice in the past year. Very easy to do, especially at night after a couple of bevvies 😂

[@dennismclynn1214]

Followed your steps and got the molding back in place. First time I ever soldered plastic! It worked great. Thanks.

[@derek9968]

A very good video (short and without wasted time) that really helped me repair my broken molding for the price of a few new trim clips. Thanks for posting.

[@robertcoats9580]

Awesome! I backed into a fence post and it popped my the side trim off of my driver side door tonight. Tried ever which way to slide it back on with no success. Now I know what to do thanks to you.

[@MARIADROD]

I fixed my own panel. 👏👏 Thank you for this video.

[@nldinujoseph]

Fantastic hack where you used soldering iron mate. Worked well. Thanks for sharing this video 2:06

[@bobbypeacock7399]

Thank you for showing this!

[@davidwilliams8451]

Thanks for this video. The soldering got me part way there. I then drowned all the broken sockets in epoxy resin. Seems to have done the trick.

[@rogueshadow93]

Thank you...I was going to slide the trim out and try the trim back in

[@ChangeViewZ]

Nice this video was awesome. really helped me out.

[@joselara7827]

Great video, this helped me with my Tucson's molding. Thanks sir!!!!!

[@juniorgarcia5344]

Good job I have same issue but it’s a infinity qx60

[@hamvjones]

Legend… thanks so much

[@saleemkimani898]

Thanks brother!

[@camcordernonsense5264]

Nice work

[@livefree6878]

I was really glad we didn’t have to buy a new piece. It was like $80. It seems like it all snapped on OK. Will give it the time test, I think it’ll pass it though.

[@johnscimeca8479]

You could use a little bit of Brillo pad mix it in while you're welding

[@joelfandja3022]

Helpful! 👍

[@livefree6878]

Glad it was helpful, it seems like hidden fasteners like that are easy to see what you’ve got after pry on it and break it. Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it

[@914576]

I tried this but once the clips are in and I try to close the door the clips snap off. Any suggestions?

[@Ricky-hi4up]

How do you remove it tho?

[@corychambers2715]

Thank you. Fixed mine for the price of a cheap soldering iron rather than paying a body shop a small fortune. ***Those two bottom clips you left in can be removed by opening the door and twisting off the bolts they are attached too. Or with the trim off, you can slide your fingers under and touch the bolt. I noticed your bottom part of the trim was sticking out once reattached so looked until I found that little secret. I tried to smash it on at first before finding this out and it resulted in the bottom part sticking out and me partially breaking those clips. Quick soder fixed it.

[@icyhotmike]

Rick Case would be proud

[@user-uz3us6xv4y]

Looks just like a 2005 Santa Fe. My additional problem is that the molded holder for the clips (two forward most and both upper and lower of the fourth clip back are completely gone. Do you have a work around for this problem? Hoping your reply is not that the whole panel needs replacement. In any event thanks for the helpful video.

[@admonlazr]

Hi can u help me I get all my Clips broke how can I get the Clips please

[@mikegresham9424]

JB weld clear weld works best

[@canadiandartsreviews-sorry]

How do we remove the moulding? Need to fix mine like you did. Appreciated

[@mariajuarez5167]

I THINK YOU JUST PULL IT OUT AND FIX IT? … I GUESS. IM GOING TO TRY TO FIX MINE, LETS SEE IF IT WORKS, WORST CASE SCENARIO I WILL HAVE TO PUT DUCK TAPE ON THEM. 🙈

[@skiflea7475]

No! Read Cory’s comment above. You have to unscrew two clips from inside the door panel. Remove the panel and you’ll see two nuts on each end for the trim piece.

[@silkkay6214]

👍

[@jackvanosta7517]

Does anyone have the part number or link for the clips?, thanks

For my 2013 Santa Fe I used part #87756 1F000. Genuine part from Hyundai.

[@PatronSinner78]

Very nice. Unfortunately, this piece has broken off a couple times for me, due to a high curb in front of my house and it catching on it. Most of the clips are missing and some of those molded anchor spots are missing too.

[@livefree6878]

There are times when I’ve used a soldering iron to plastic weld some of the broken pieces back on. Of course there’s a limit to this. Sometimes it’s so bad you have to get a new one or used one at a junkyard. No one how to get it on and off sometimes is more than half the battle

[@marcrawley6001]

Poor design by Hyundai. Why would you build something that so easily catches onto outside objects. By the way, where can I get the clips from?

[@beachfam2274]

Yes.. mine as well .. very upsetting about it

[@thegreek2640]

@@marcrawley6001 extremely poor design & they went cheap on that part of the SUV… I just bought a replacement part just received it today… Waited 4 months for it was on back order.

[@cassandrabryant5263]

The same thing happened to my 2015 dodge charger.. all the clips have broken off on the passenger side

[@clintupham4466]

I see your doors sag also
