I just replaced that piece and the strip below the window. Since my invoice only has part numbers, that piece is either $62 or $106. I'm thinking it's the $62.
Throw in .5 hrs labor for $72 or do it yourself.

Nexxus, thank you so much. I believe i found it on hyundaioemparts.com. $47, well see when it comes in. Parts are cheaper there btw

I'm bookmarking that site. No sense getting screwed by my dealer any more.

Just FYI, there are many sites like these which are run by dealerships who decided to make parts a side-business. You can play them off each other to get the better price. And what's good about these websites is that they often include drawings, which helps finding parts. Here are some:

Shop OEM Hyundai Parts & Accessories | Hyundai Parts for You run by Auffenberg Hyundai in IL
Genuine OEM Hyundai Parts & Accessories | WorldOEMParts.com/WorldPartsHyundai | World OEM Parts Hyundai run by Ganley Hyundai in OH
Parts Hyundai | Factory OEM Parts Discounted | Online Dealer run by Potamkin Hyundai in FL
Shop OEM Hyundai Parts and Accessories run by Larry Miller Hyundai in AZ
OEM Hyundai Parts & Accessories Online | Hyundai OEM Parts Direct run by Larry Miller Hyundai in NM
Shop Genuine Hyundai Parts and Accessories | Delray Hyundai Parts run by Delray Hyundai in FL
OEM Hyundai Parts | Wholesale Hyundai Parts run by Lakeland Hyundai in FL
Genuine Hyundai Parts | Jim Ellis Hyundai Parts run by Jim Ellis Hyundai in GA

They have to be dealerships, and it's not a 'side business'; it's part of their business . But they're smart, and rather than having the parts people doing very little all day, they sell at a discount and sell a ton of parts, without having to invest a penny if they don't want to, since basically all dealers have to order the crap we buy anyway, with the exception of oil filters, and such common and cheap parts. They make a ton more money selling at volume and making 50% profit, than making 75% (or whatever it is) on way less volume. The overall best I found was hyundaioempartsdirect.com, which happens to be the NM/AZ dealership I just bought my Calligraphy from (Larry Miller Hyundai). So happy to give him my business. Save 5 grand by driving 300 miles.

The best strategy for picking an online Hyundai OEM parts retailer is usually to pick one close to you in order to minimize shipping costs (most of them seem to offer the same discount prices). But at the same time choose one that is not in your state so you don't have to pay state and local sales tax.

If a dealer is owned by a holding company that owns multiple dealerships (Hyundai or other brands) in more than one state, then all their dealerships "may" be required to charge sales tax to online customers in any state where they own a dealership or have some presence (Nexus), even if the Hyundai dealership where you buying the items is not in your state. For the same reason, Amazon now charges sales tax everywhere (except maybe in states where there is no sales tax) because they have some physical presence in every state now, even if the item you bought is shipped from an out-of-state Amazon warehouse.

But the laws on this subject are changing, and not all online businesses follow the sales tax laws correctly, and some online businesses may charge sales tax even if they don't have to.

I called it a side-business because not all dealerships decide to go to the trouble of creating an online storefront for their parts business. The ones I listed above clearly intend on selling parts as its own business, as opposed to it being a necessary part of their day-to-day service department business.

They all use the same online parts catalog supplied by Hyundai Motor America, but just customize the interface (and maybe standard discount percent) for their own dealership brand. I wouldn't be surprised if the same company created all their websites.

Also, the Jim Ellis dealer in Atlanta will not offer the same prices to walk-up customers and you cannot order online and pickup at the dealer, so it is sort of a different business in that respect. However, the same employees who run the dealer parts department at the physical dealership are also involved in the online store.

Not sure what point you're trying to address here. Yes, the same employees run the parts department at the dealership and the associated online store. Maybe it's the same company that designed the front-end of their websites, or maybe they all use the same host company with built-in design and e-commerce templates/plug-ins. None of this is terribly relevant to what I was saying.

The point is, they made it a part of their overall business to sell parts online, and have online store fronts for that purpose. Not that many dealerships end do that. Hence my calling it a side-business for those who do.

And while they all get the same parts from Hyundai, the ones selling online probably sell enough parts to get volume discounts from Hyundai. I've had this conversation with my service department when questioning one of their quotes: they know these websites and the dealers behind them and they can't touch them on prices. These websites seem to always be cheaper.

It's a relatively new law based on sales. If a business sells above a certain threshold (don't know what that is), they must collect sales tax for ALL states. That's why Amazon, eBay, and other large retailers now do that. Below that threshold, only in the states they do business.

The threshold varies by state. The whole situation is still a gigantic mess. I believe that this whole thing was kicked off by a Supreme Court ruling, and not a Federal law.

Sorry to hear that.
I have the same ones on my Palisade. I took it through a car wash with the rolling brushes. When I pulled in my driveway, the same exact one (driver side , back window) on my car was flapping around, on the opposite side it also pulled out, not as much. It wasn't the visor that came unglued, it was the original trim that came off. Hyundai used a very cheap weatherstrip glue on these, I was able to just pull it off with no problem. I bought some 3M weatherstrip glue and glued them back on.
Don't know if it's worth bringing it up to the dealership.

Not to hi-jack your question, but I've gotta ask: what are those things on your doors? Where can those be had? But in any case, best of wishes on the fix to your issue.
