Elevate Your Genesis G90 Experience with Soft-Close Doors

For owners of the Genesis G90, the ultimate luxury sedan experience is often defined by the details, and the sound of the doors closing can be a significant part of that. Struggling to fully close the heavy doors of a flagship sedan, or hearing a loud 'thud,' can detract from the vehicle's premium feel. This review details the installation of genuine OEM soft-close (ghost door) systems on all four doors of a 2020 Genesis G90, transforming the way the doors operate. Now, a gentle push is all it takes for the doors to glide shut smoothly and quietly.

Why Your Genesis G90 Needs Soft-Close Doors

The Genesis G90, as a flagship sedan, boasts a substantial body and excellent door seals. This often means that doors don't fully latch on the first try due to air pressure, requiring a second, firmer push. The dashboard indicator showing an open door is an inconvenience that doesn't align with the G90's luxury status. Furthermore, the 'bang' of a door closing can feel out of place in quiet, sophisticated settings. The soft-close system, also known as the ghost door system, directly addresses these issues. When the door is nudged closed, the door latch engages with the striker, and an integrated electric motor gently pulls the door the rest of the way, ensuring a perfect seal. Instead of a loud slam, you hear a quiet 'swoosh' followed by a soft click, adding a refined touch to the G90's ambiance. Repeatedly slamming doors can also cause cumulative micro-impacts on internal trim and electronics, potentially affecting the vehicle's long-term condition. The soft-close function mitigates these unnecessary shocks, helping to preserve the vehicle's integrity. It's also a thoughtful addition for passengers who may have difficulty closing doors forcefully, such as children or the elderly, and allows for quiet entry and exit without disturbing sleeping passengers.

Authentic OEM Parts for a Seamless G90 Upgrade

The parts used in this installation are genuine Hyundai Mobis OEM power door latches and actuators specifically designed for the Genesis G90. These are the same high-quality components offered as factory options. The installation process involves carefully disassembling the interior door panels, removing the original manual latches, and replacing them with the OEM power latches containing integrated motors. Wiring is meticulously connected using the factory pin insertion method for a clean and reliable setup, ensuring safe and quiet operation without concerns about short circuits or rattles.

Installation Process:

1. Careful removal of the interior door panel to access the latch mechanism.
2. Replacement of the existing manual door latch with the OEM power door latch assembly.
3. Precise wiring connections using factory-specified methods to integrate the new system.
4. Reassembly of the door panel, ensuring all clips and fasteners are correctly secured.
5. Testing of the soft-close function to confirm smooth operation.

Installing the ghost door system on all four doors of a Genesis G90 requires patience and precision. Each door is treated with care, and all wiring is meticulously wrapped with sound-deadening tape to prevent any potential rattles. Given the G90's sophisticated interior trim, professional installation by experienced technicians is essential. Leveraging extensive experience with Genesis vehicles, we ensure the highest quality results.
