It is not quite obvious how to remove engine cover from I4 engine in 2009 Hyundai Sonata. The cover is small with DOHC-16V written on it. Part number 29240 2G000.
This cover is attached with 2 rubber grommets in the front and two metal clips in the back. To remove it, first pull up the front part to disconnect the rubber grommets in the front. Then continue lifting and pushing towards the back of the engine. Cover will pivot on the back clips and will detach.
You may see in some YouTube videos that show pulling up the back edge of the cover. This is wrong, do not do it as you may break off clips in the back. The clips are designed to come off when cover is rotated around them towards the back.
Before you put the cover back, put very small amount of silicone grease on the clips. Something like high temperature silicone brake grease would work. The grease should be safe for rubber. This will make cover to come off much easier next time.
