Body and Interior Configuration
This 107-page documentation maps out the structural and trim assembly of the first-generation Hyundai Tiburon. Chapters detail the exact removal and installation sequences required for front door assemblies, crash pad components, rear quarter glass, and interior trim panels. It explicitly outlines the factory procedures for sealing windshields, tailgates, and quarter windows. When dealing with these heavy glass assemblies and structural vehicle components, strict adherence to standard safety practices and the use of appropriate protective equipment is strongly advised to prevent injury.
Specification and Assembly Data
Serving as the primary technical reference for the RC platform's body-system architecture, the text provides engineered reference values critical for restoration or collision repair. Mechanics will find specific bolt torque settings across all major body-in-white and trim assemblies. For example, the hood hinge-to-body torque requires 22–27 Nm, while seat track mounting bolts demand 35–55 Nm. Clearances and dimensional data allow for accurate frame-straightening and body-alignment assessments. Furthermore, the sunroof assembly section includes diagnostic guidance on guide rail adjustment and motor pinion engagement.
