You can create an account there and then login and have access to the materials, including TSBs. It is a nice resource.
Helpful hint: the 2007-2008 Santa Fes are coded there as "CM" while the earlier ones are coded "SM".
Has anyone had this done? How does it sound?
Would this void my warranty?
Thanks

You mentioned that replacing the stock air box with a cold air intake increased gas mileage by 15%. Can you let me know the one you chose?
I have the same vehicle as yours. I had always thought the cold air intake was to increase power, but if it also increased mpg that would be great.
Thanks.
seeing the there is really nothing the you can buy that really fits is had to buy off the shelf products. Got all my parts from Advance Auto...in my configuration I used 2@45 and 1@90 degree, 2@6 inch, 1@4 inch chrome with the adpter for vacuum lines. Seeing that these are plastic I drilled a 1/2 hole and used a rubber gromet with a 5/8 inch house barb to attach the recirc gas hose after removing the airbox. Chk my pics out to see the config. the mileage that I am getting at the moment (today) and by the computer is 23.8 city and that is with the A/C going from time to time....it's been hot here in SC. I haven't had the chance to put it on hwy yet after getting everything the way I wanted it. So I expect to get at least 27 to 28 on the hwy maybe more. I'll keep you posted. Gonna remove the resonators in a couple of wks after I get some resonated exhaust tips and a performace cat to see what kind of mileage and performance I get then. ...this is a work in progress so bear with me.
Please respond. Thanks.

I balked at the over $200 price tag from the dealer for the OEM cargo tray, and instead bought an aftermarket one from Ebay for $70 incl shipping. It was designed for the 5 passenger model, but it's flexible enough that it bends at the two corners that don't match exactly with the floor plastic trim for the 3rd row seat belts. One advantage is it can be folded up yet remain in the car if the 3rd row seat is up, plus has extra short flaps to protect the wheel well trim and the back of the 2nd row seats from your cargo. I couldn't find a detailed enough photo of the OEM one to convince me if it was worth buying for about the same price online - all photos seemed to be from the same Hyundai brochure.
Thank you.
My shoes have slipped on the floor liners when they were wet from rain and attemping to get in/out of the car. It's a hard shell and some rubberized surface would help with the slipping.
One problem I have is that the gas pedal scratches the floorliner when I try to push the gas pedal all the way through. I'm concernd it might get stuck. Anyone else having this problem?
I find them somewhat slippery with any hard-soled footwear once they're a little wet. That's my only complaint.
I just bought a used 2007 Santa Fe with the 3rd rows and I am interested in your experience with your described cargo liner. Are you still happy? How is it holding out? If you still recommend it, would you please let me know where it can be purchased?
So, if you want protection behind your 3rd row seat, you might go another route. If you plan on and want the protection while the 3rd row seat is down, then it is fine.
To protect the floor carpet of the 3rd row seat, I bought the Hyundai made mats - they work fine. I bought Weathertech floor liners for the 1st and 2nd row seats - love these!
Getting back to the Hyundai liner, it wasn't designed with the 3rd row seat in mind. Weathertech makes a liner, but I believe it doesn't fold up at all - I think you have two options on the Weathertech liner, you either buy a liner to cover the entire cargo area with the 3rd row seat down, or a smaller one that just covers behind the 3rd row seat. Hope this rambling message helps.
Based on your recommendations, I have bought the 3rd row Hyundai rubber map (fits well) and I have the weathertech digitals for the front and middle row on order.
I bought and received a mat from ebay (vendor keepyourforkman) $50 +12 shipping anywhere in NA. The vendor shows it in place with the two 3rd row seats in place and it does work as show (not bad really). The mat is actually cut for a 2 row Santa Fe which doesn't have the storage box on the drivers side - so I trimmed it. I am pretty happy. (My wife check out the official Hyundai one and it was similar in design at double the price).
Thanks for the help.
