Encapsulated Trim and Sourcing Constraints on Tiburon Side Windows

Hyundai supplied the fixed rear quarter window on this sports coupe as a unified glass and rubber assembly rather than a bare piece of glazing with separate snap-on mouldings. The factory driver-side assembly carries OEM part number 87810-2C001, superseding the original 87810-2C000, while the passenger side is listed under 87820-2C001, superseding 87820-2C000. Because Hyundai has formally discontinued production of these original units, sourcing functional replacements relies on the aftermarket or clean secondhand donor vehicles. The difficulty with used salvage pulls is that the exterior rubber edge trim is permanently bonded to the perimeter of the glass. When junkyards slice through the old bond line with cold knives or braided wire, they almost always slice right through that outer lip, ruining the external seal. The glass itself is a straightforward piece of stationary green-tinted solar safety glass. Unlike the liftgate glass behind it, this quarter window contains zero electrical equipment: no defroster grids, no antenna lines, and no acoustic interlayers. What makes the part specific is the encapsulation framework underneath. Integrated alignment studs and positioning pins are molded straight into that perimeter frame. These pins slip directly into corresponding receptor holes stamped into the vehicle body aperture, locking the glass into its exact factory position between the roof rail and the rear quarter sheet metal before the structural bond sets.

Interior Disassembly and B-Pillar Alignment Quirks

Because this coupe features frameless front door glass, the door weatherstripping runs uninterrupted down the front of the B-pillar immediately forward of the rear quarter window. Inside the cabin, accessing the quarter glass flange requires stripping down the interior trim surrounding the rear seats. The large upper quarter trim panel—such as OEM part 85832-2C000 on the driver side—along with the C-pillar plastic trim and the rear passenger side bolsters must all be unclipped. Without clearing these plastics, there is simply no clearance along the interior pinchweld to safely manipulate the glass perimeter. Over the years, UV exposure degrades the outer rubber edge, causing the trim to crack, dry out, or lift away from the paint along the upper roofline edge. Since the weatherstrip moulding cannot be serviced as an individual part, fixing degraded cosmetic trim means replacing the entire window unit. I handle these quarter glass replacements through a mobile-only service, travelling directly to your driveway or office parking spot anywhere across Toronto and the surrounding GTA. Aftermarket glass units replicate the factory encapsulation and locating pins, which preserves the critical flush boundary where the B-pillar, rear quarter panel, and hatchback liftgate seam converge.
