Rear high brake light rubber liner

[Nikhil Malhotra]

Dont know how the rear high brake light rubber liner breaking in pieces . Its broken all the way in the bottom edge .
I did not notice it till now , but while cleaning yesterday i happen to see it .

View from inside -



View from Outside the rear glass

If this is a single part , i would not pay for replacing it .
I am thinking the rubber liner between the lamp and glass would be a cheaper part .

that should be a warranty item if you still have warranty.

Mine did the same. It degraded and eventually broke off from the corners just as yours did. It is not that large of a problem for me but when driving at night the brake light does project a fair amount of light onto the rear window and back seat without it. I've just gotten accustom to it and would not purchase the entire light assembly if that was what is needed to fix it. I understand if others disagree. For me it's another data point in my experience with this vehicle. Car looks great and is fun to drive but based on my experience to date it is not meeting my expectations for quality.

Had the same problem on my 2015 and Hyundai covered it under warranty. If you're under 60K, i'd take it to the dealer.

With the hyundai dealership now . They are looking at it and have not confirmed yet if this will be replaced under warranty . They are going to call hyundai corporate to check up . They have quoted approx 190$ if its not in warranty .

After polite request - Hyundai Dealership was kind to order the rear high brake light for my car and replace it free.
It took around 2 weeks to get the part .

The cost of the brake light was approx $180 , and with labor it was billed approx $260 . I'm glad Hyundai is taking care of customers who are not even the first owners of the car.

Greetings,

Just had this done. Pretty much the same experience. 2 weeks to get the part and they replaced it for free.

Thanks for posting! This is where I found a solution when I discovered the issue. Then I joined the forum, lol

I have this same issue. Plan on getting it fixed at my 75000 check up. I bought the bumper to bumper extended warranty.
