Is anyone having the same problem?
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix or maybe seal the dash facia board rubber?
Thank you.
Thanks
Here's three suggestions, I'm sure you'll get lots more.
1. Lexol leather conditioner
2. Saddle soap (more work, but worth it)
3. Nothing. I'm not planning on doing a thing to the leather on my '08 SF's steering wheel - I hate the feel of the residue from ANY of that stuff. But that's just me.
If not cleaned, the day will come when the leather will be caked with dirt; this is true for the transmission shifer knob also. I assume saddle soap will be the best bet.
Maybe a direct from Korea supplier? It's a 2002 w/ Beige int.
US dealers want $300!! :mad: :P
That is bizarre. I'm 6'5" and I don't need the seat all the way back in the Santa Fe. However I do in the CRV. Further, the listed front legroom for the Santa Fe is about 1.3 in. more than the CRV. However the CRV does have about 2 in. more legroom in the 2nd row seat.
i recently had a controled test drive in an area that was free of bumps ,railroad tracks and the like. i felt the ride was good.
my question is, are the reviews and hear say exaggerated ? was my controled test drive (ideal routing) a way of hiding a hard ride?
thank you, nace
It was the way the tires were designed to take the weight (4000 lbs) of the vehicle. It's also why they probably recommended a low 30 psi for these tires, to compensate for the rigid walls. There have been several posts about changing the tires to a softer wall to make the ride smoother.
I also suspect they used the dueller tires because of the ESC and Traction controls for handling reasons, and also so they didn't have to put a full size spare wheel in the back if there was a flat (rigid tire walls mean less damage if there is a flat.)

I have other vehicles that have buzzers and they go do not go on incessantly while you sit in the auto just checking out things or maintenance etc?
What happened to the lights that told you to fasten your seat belt after a 5 sec. buzzer?
Bunch of you sound like Big Brother breathing down one neck with all this seat belt criticism.
How about some helpful solutions. .. they are not trying to bypass safety but it is one's decision to smoke or eat fatty foods, or what ever.
What happen to buzzers that plays a musical note, etc.
Anyone can help me out? Thanks!
RECLINER COVER REPLACEMENT1. Remove the front cover (A).
2. Remove the recliner rever (A) and sliding rever (B).
3. Loosen the recliner mounting screw and clip, then remove the recliner cover (C).
4. Installation is the reverse of removal.
SEAT BACK COVER REPLACEMENT1. Remove front seat assembly.
2. Remove the recliner cover.
3. After disconnecting the scuff band (A), remove the seat back panel (B).
Here's the text of the procedure- the plastic cover along the front of the bottom of the cushion must be removed to access.
I'm wondering if anyone else has had concerns with the distance from the steering wheel to the center console. I typically drive with my right arm on an armrest and find the distance in the santa fe to be too far! I can't hold the steering wheel and rest my right arm at the same time. And this is with the steering wheel fully extended. Is this just a silly concern and something that I'll adjust to? Or should I walk away from an otherwise great vehicle (haven't bought it yet).
Thanks!

It doesn't decrease the distance to the console, but it raises your arm up decreasing the angle.
I guess I'm wondering if it's just an adjustment to a new car issue and that I won't notice it in a month.
Is no one else bothered by this?
My window is doing the EXACT same thing. What did you find out/end up doing?
Thanks,
Jenn
