Hyundai/Genesis Part Replacement Without A Procedure
I-CAR · January 29, 2026 · Hyundai, Genesis
Summary
This article clarifies that when no specific replacement procedure exists for a Hyundai or Genesis service part, technicians are permitted to replace the part at factory seams. Repairs must follow the general guidelines in the Body Repair Manual, which prioritize spot welding over MIG plug welding and outline standard corrosion protection and adhesive steps.
What to do on the job
When no specific procedure exists, replace the service part at factory seams using spot welding as the primary method, reserving MIG plug welding only for areas where spot welding is impossible.
How to use it
This document is essential when negotiating with insurers for operations where a specific replacement procedure is missing from the OEM manual. Use it to justify replacing parts at factory seams and to support the necessity of following general OEM guidelines for welding, epoxy adhesives, and corrosion protection.
