Just had to replace my driver side heated seat and 1 week after the repair, my seat panel fell off. Because of this video I knew exactly what happened, which was the same issue. The dealer broke the center clip. I just sent the dealer this video and told them to order another panel. Thanks for this video!!!! You just helped me deal with the dealer!
Thank you so much. You saved me a lot of dough. It was a little dicey at the end but we got it done. Many thanks!
Thanks for this video. It was a great help with the repair of my 2018 Honda CRV. The only such video I found in my search.
Great video. I did exactly the same job on a 2015 Sonata. The weaknesses in the part are criminal and should not exist. I used the metal frame parts on the seat side under the side plate. I drilled a strategically placed hole at the front and another at the rear of the panel and drilled into the metal. I then simply screwed the plastic side onto the seat. The screws are virtually unnoticeable and the side is very secure. If I thought a replacement side would be stronger than the original I would have bought one. Not being the case, I used two screws for a total cost of zero (old screws). Unless you seek out that specific area visually, it cannot be seen.
Thanks so much, I was able to avoid a very costly repair thanks to your video. You give confidence in attempting this fix.
I appreciate you for this my guy. I needed this fix before I traded in for an upgrade. I wanted to maximize my trade in value and you helped with that🤝🏼.
@mackmelo107 … Glad this was useful! Thanks for watching ! Support our channel by subscribing!
Thank you brother. Just watched this video and installed the piece in my friends Hyundai. The rear connectors were a bit of a pain so I rewatched that part. Smacked it just like you did and it popped right into place. IOU huge, thanks so much!!!
Thanks for watching !! Help us out and make sure to subscribe!!
Thanks for taking the time to share this information with everybody 😊❤
I have to replace mine on the passenger side this weekend thank for info,
Thanks you were a big help
Thank you so much. I have this problem with a Captiva . The panel broke off and I though I might be able to fix is. This is just the information I needed. I'am a 66 year old retired women who has never done anything like this in my life. I learned a lot using UA-cam and thought to give it a try. I could not think of what to call the seat panel or how it came off or where to get it. I cant thank you enough. So now I will get to work finding the part and fixing it. Another note is while driving one day I was putting something in side pocket and hit the control that made the seat move forward and I could not stop it. Pulled over cause I could not breath ,funny now but not now so it has to be fixed.
@Donna Miller so glad we could help out ! Thanks for watching!! Please Subscribe and tell a friend 😄
i just replaced my switch and now my seat can recline and come back up properly. thanks for your video!
Glad it helped!
This just happened to my 2015 Hyundai sonata limited so I appreciate the video
Same. Now that I know I can handle this, going to order the part and give it a go.
Thank you for sharing.
Nice video. I had to replace the seat switch at the dealer and shelled out $125 for the switch and $165 for labor. I tried to remove the trim but didn't feel comfortable as it didn't want to come out and I didn't want to break it. I was told this is a part that breaks frequently. I'm ready now for the next time this happens.
Thanks for watching @cloudyinhere
Hey man great video had to change out my wife's control panel I need step-by-step instructions really help me out if your father-in-law doesn't buy you a beer I sure as hell will thanks again
@BoDukeLives ...Thanks for watching and glad to help out!
If anyone has a 2013, the screws are now phillips head, rather than t20. There is also one phillips screw on the backside of the cover, that can be accessed from the rear seat. Everything else seems the same. Two pop tabs around the mechanism, then pull forward towards the pedals to release clips
I have the same issue in my 2016, and I am soooooo excited to see that I can do this myself!
@misty waller ... thanks for stopping by ! Glad we could help !
great video and clear explanation. Thanks!
@D Rel thanks for watching ! Glad we could help !

Thank you very helpful I will do it in a Toyota RAV 4 Driver side.
Thanks for watching!
Here’s a tip. I thought I’d raise the seat all the way up to make it a little easier, and it was until it came time to connect the wire harness. Couldn’t do it. I had to lower the seat in order to make the connection above a thin piece of welded rod. I’m also having a hard time getting the rear tabs in. The front and center are good. Will try again when my hands warm up.
Good job
This was actually very helpful. I have a 2014 hyundai santa fe. I assume this would be very similiar to do one mine?
It’s probably very similar
@@PartsCounterGurus Thank you, subscribing
I just want to leave this comment in case anyone else comes looking. It was actually very simple to put on and very much the same as your video. So thank you for posting this. Even the electronics were incredibly simple to swap
Guru, thank you for doing this video. I'm going to attempt to fix my girlfriends Tucson with this solution, but want your opinion. The vehicle's seat performs all other movements, but the back of the seat was only going back for some time, but not forward. Now, the other day the lever got stuck for a minute when I closed the door and trapped the seat belt between each and held the lever down and now the back doesn't move at all and their is no sound either when you hit the switch in either direction. Do you believe the motor might need replaced or the switch still? Thank you for any thoughts.
@Eli Rush.... Not Necessarily The Motor, Could be the switch
Shorten your videos, focus on what you have to do. Focus on the main goal!
Thanks for your comment. We mentioned you on our mailbag video: ua-cam.com/video/FdqpIp5Dzuo/v-deo.html
Just speed up playback mode!

Mate… I think we’re lucky to get your vids….👍🙏
Have this same issue on my 2015 sonata limited both seats!! They should really fix this or recall. Can you get the buttons also mine fell off?
Yes… all available
I ordered the driver seat panel from my dealership for my Hyundai Sonata 2015 and they said it wouldn't fit. It looks exactly like yours.
Update:
After watching your video I tried installing the driver seat panel myself and was successful. Just had to use a little force. I'm not sure why their mechanics could not put it on. Must not be properly trained.
Hey quick question where can I buy all the tool that are use to replace the part thanks you
Sorry for the delay in responding… and yes! All of these tools are available at any retail parts store or online through Amazon.
@@PartsCounterGurus thank u for responding back to me. It’s the same person on a different account. Will this part fix if my seat won’t go back in forth (like the back only won’t go all the way to the front/ but it’ll go all the way back.) will this fix it please if u don’t mind I have to take my car to get a recall tomorrow I just want to make sure this panel will fix the issues thank u! Merry Xmas!
My friend has this issue with his seat. He says he can't get comfortable because the seat isn't staying the way he adjusted for. Sometimes he has to keep adjusting it the up and down motor stops working and then later works again. He also says that it'll move while he is driving. So just for clarification is that the issue your father n law was having because part of the panel broke off on the inside and if not can you tell me what he says is happening even possible and how so. I really want to be able to tell him that there is a rhyme and reason to his problem and stop feeling like he is losing his mind. Thank you so much in advance for any insight you could offer.
@Christina Pickard. In this instance, The panel cleanly broke on the mounting points and there was no issue of malfunctioning switches. If switches are randomly activating on your friends seat without a persons intervention, that could be a safety issue for the driver and those types of instances can occur. The cover can be removed quite easily to access the switches and inspect them and replace if necessary. I would seek the help of the dealership to check to see if there is a recall on the switches or perhaps have them check the wiring harness. Just have the fil VIN ready to give them. Any electrical component can be defective or become worn to the point it does not function properly or at all in some cases. Its worth looking into!
Is it cover on warranty? The power seat if its not working well?
No warranty at this time
My 2017 Hyundai Tucson back brace leaver stop working when trying to go back. It works ok in going forward. What is the cause n how do I fix it myself?
@Dusty Rusty Probably a faulty switch or potentially a motor. The switches and modules are not hard to change at all. Let us know if you need info. Thanks for watching and make sure to Subscribe to our channel. We are so close to hitting our goal!!
I have the same problem, but my seat will go back but won't come back up
Does the cover just slide forward? I’m trying not to damage that front piece by forcing it. 2018 Tucson Thanks.
Worked on my 2015 sonata.
The panel Says there an airbag under my seat? Will that make it set off just trying to mess with it?
The 2018 Hyundai Sonata We Worked On Had No Interference with any SRS Components. There were no modules located on the seat lumbar controls panel or outside panel where they mount the seat controls. Typically the SRS Modules are under dash, within the center consoles of the car in the Center of the steering wheel and so on. We Recommend referring to your owners manual or contacting a local dealer to be certain.
The panel holder at the front broke would there be anything else insteadof buying the whole thing
@jessygarcia9519 .. let your inner MacGyver speak to you ! For the price and the least amount of aggravation, we suggest a panel replacement. They’re cheap !
I haven’t watched the whole video but is there one showing how to replace the seat motor?
Ricky… thanks for watching however we didn’t get into motor replacement
can you give me the part number for it I have the 2018 Sport from what I see its the same trim! Thanks in advance. :)
It's doubtful its the same part # and you would also have to have the same color. We had difficulty looking it up and eventually called the dealer. They will need the last 8 of your VIN. If you have that, give them a call and they can find it very quickly. It had to be ordered but only took a few days to arrive. So easy to change! Good luck and thanks for watching!!
I have the same 2018 Sonata Sport same problem my fat ass broke it LOL
Thanks the dealer want $388 to fix mine just like that.
That’s crazy. I just replaced the backup camera on mine, they wanted 250 for the part (I got it for $49) and I forget what the labor was going to be, but I saved about $450.
My Hyundai dealer candidly told me they do not repair parts, they replace them. For example, the small plastic mounting bracket for a rear motion sensor broke inside the rear bumper. It is part of the whole plastic rear bumper. All it needed was a bit of epoxy to remount the sensor yet they quoted about $1200 to replace the whole bumper. These weak plastic parts are criminal when combined with such practices.
Damn how you make a whole video bout fixing the seat but leave out how to take off the cover to get to the problem
At 2:50 …. We explain to use a trim tool to remove it. Must have went over your head. Most people watching this video are replacing the cover because it’s broken off so the need to physically remove the cover is out of the equation, but as a bonus to those that actually pay attention to the video, we threw that in there.
My driver seat won't go up only down what could it be ?
The back part sorry won't go up its laying down
@redlightdistrick if it will lay back but not go up, Could be the actuator/motor or switch. We would recommend you inspect the wiring harness and connection to make sure there is no damage there. Also check to make sure there is no apparent loose mechanical components (gear/lever).
I appreciate your response I took the panel off and played with clips and got it to go back up
Same problem in my car, i have 2018 sonata sports
Can’t get mine to go back so I guess it’s time to take everything apart :/

My dealer wanted 425 dollars to replace the seat switch on my 2019 Tucson
Yep… that’s why we shot the video.. if you have any skills you should be able to save $$$$ by doing this yourself
Where did you find the part? for my 2018 hyundai tuscon
It’s a poorly designed part. It’s a weak point on all 2015-2019 LF sonatas
@Scott We were surprised of how many folks have had the same issue yet no bulletin! Thanks for watching and make sure to Subscribe! We are close to meeting our Goal!!
Geez... Great info but WAYYYY too long of a video!! It definitely could've been cut down to about three minutes! Thank you for the info though!!

It's always interesting to hear from experts that have never filmed, edited, and released a single video on UA-cam. Let us know when you get your first one done so we can offer some criticism. You're welcome for the free advice, BTW. Stay positive my man!
It would be nice if you just got to it without all the advertisement crap
Hey - you're welcome for the FREE video to help you fix your stuff. Sorry that we need to pay for the cost of the production, parts, running a business and equipment to name a few. Next time we do a video for you, I'll sell my house to cover the bandwidth so you don't have to watch sponsors.
What a crap design there Hyundai
