Description of the problem | I bought my hyundai tuscon brand new back in 2005. Last week i noticed a rattling sound coming from the rear windshield and when i went to check it the back windshield almost has fallen out. The latch that holds the windshield in place has corroded completely. I can honestly say that over the 5 years i have owned the vehicle i hardly open the back window. I usually open the entire tailgate when placing items for storage. I have contacted the dealer and hyundai about the issue looking to get the latch replaced and haven't heard anything back from them. I have tried on several attempts since i notice the problem. This is dangerous and could cause the windshield to come falling out. |
