1996 ELANTRA WAGON CARGO SECURITY SCREEN RETENTION
DESCRIPTION:
The 1996 Elantra Wagon cargo security screen (cargo cover) may not stay in the extended position. The screen may not be held in the holders, or it may release from the holders while driving. This condition may occur if the holders located at the door opening trim area are too far apart. To correct this condition, the holders can be shimmed slightly to narrow the distance.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE:
1. Pull the cargo security screen out to the extended position. Place the ends of the screen into the holders. Slide the screen side to side. The screen should not fall out of either holder.
2. Center the cargo security screen in the holders. Use the palm of your hand to lightly bounce the screen in the holders. The screen should not fall out of either holder.
3. Measure the distance between the holders. The holders should be 1137 mm to 1145 mm (44-3/4" to 45-1/16") apart, measured edge to edge.
SERVICE PROCEDURE:
1. Open rear hatch fully.
2. Extend cargo cover to determine which holder should be shimmed for best fit.
Note:
It is necessary to extend the cargo cover fully and determine which side needs to be shimmed out. In some cases, it may be better to add shims to just one side and not the other. Look to see if the extended cargo cover pulls to one side or the other and shim the appropriate side.
3. Remove the # 2 Phillips screw from the holder, remove the holder.
4. With the screw in the holder, slide a 6 mm (1/4") flat washer (with an outer diameter of at least 12 mm (1/2")) over the screw. (A notch in the washer may be required to clear the alignment pin.)
5. Reattach the holder to the vehicle with the washer in place.
6. Verify that there is no gap between the holder and the interior trim. If there is, use a thinner washer for the shim.
7. If additional shimming is required, shim the other holder as well. Multiple washers may be used for shimming. Only shim enough to bring the distance between the holders into specification.
Caution:
Excessive shimming will create a gap between the holder and the interior trim. After shimming, verify that no gap has been created.
8. The distance between the holders should be between 1137 mm and 1145 mm (44-3/4" and 45-1/16") after shimming.
