KIA/Hyundai mirror grinding-broken gear replacement 

Thanks you very much from Spain, Kia sell me all the mirror for 540 euros, and With your video, i take about 1hour (play, stop, rewind) and works perfect.

Thank you so much, I got the part from Aliexpress, 10 days delivery, i followed ur steps, it takes 3 hours for the first time,

Best video that I have seen for this persnickety project. Love the audio. If the dealer won’t fix mine under warranty I’ll give this a try. This wouldn’t be necessary if metal gears were used instead of the cheesy plastic gears.

Hands down best video for this repair! Much obliged.

Hey bro just want to say thanks much for this step by step video it was difficult at first cuz I did everything several times after I change the gears and the mirror still never folded... Only to go back in while watching your steps and realizing that I was not mounting the chip on to the motor correctly.... With that error corrected my mirror is back like new I alomst gave up... Thanks again all the way from 🇹🇹 👊🏿

Thanks to your video I did the repair on mine, thank you very much, I followed step by step and certainly removing the plastic cover was the hardest part.

I changed the frame and the mirror of my Hyundai Tucson (2017) following this video. Thank you.

Thanks for your great video. Now I can proceed with the repair.The pictures of the inside motor area are very helpful...Thank you!

Good job mate, helped me so much to understand what it is happening with my mirror. Thanks you!!!

Great video. Thanks for posting. Following your instructions to the letter, it worked perfectly after installing the new gears. Now to fixing the right hand mirror ……

Hi thanks, nice video. Now waiting for package for china greetings from Chile 🇨🇱

Mate, you just saved me 1000€.. KIA WANTED 890€ for the whole mirror, and it would come in wring collor,plus they wanted additional money for the installation... Ali express 12€, bam! Done. Cheers!!

Thanks for making this vid. Hav a 2017 Kia K3 where get grinding sounds when opening right side mirror. Gonna get some gears to replace and see if can fix the issue. Will save some good $. Thanks ago.

Good job bro, you made it too E-Z💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 Definitely helped me 💯

Excellent 👌 Well done from Australia 👍 Even down to the exact colour as mine😂

Thank you for sharing your video, no doubt that you are a very talented handyman. Thanks to your video I was convinced that it is too much work for me... I will look for another solution. Thanks

You're a champion mate. Thanks for the information.

I did for a Kia Optima 2013, it worked on the right side at first. Then I noticed, some electrical issues, trunk opening by itself, key fob not working. I then did the other side and figured that I might put the cables wrong (the ones you marked at the beginning) I reversed it and still doing the same. And the mirror folding is not working anymore 🙂‍↕️ Kinda tired, I’m planning on redoing the whole thing see what I missed or taking it to the shop.

Thank you very much. This video was perfect

Makes you really question the intelligence of some of these engineers/designers! I just spent 6 hours repairing the gasket on the valve cover. 2012 Kia optima SX TDI. Pain in the rump! But when reconnected the battery I heard this click, click, click from the driver side window. Finally narrowed the noise down to the power folding mirror. CANNOT find a stinking fuse to shut that off so now I guess I'm gonna have to disconnect power from the mirror at least temporarily so it doesn't drain the battery. ALWAYS SOMETHING!!!

Thanks a lot for the help. Man really helped a lot with this video. Got to save some money.👍👍👍

The video I was looking for! Thanks

Thanks very much! It worked on Kia cee'd 2014 1.6 GDI 🎉

It simply pulls out but you have to squeeze it as one side has a release tab. Very similar to any auto connection throughout the vehicle. Worse case take needle nosed pliers and squeeze and pull hard using the pliers. Squeeze the two wider sides. Not the two shorter sides. It’s a very small clip so it’s hard to do with fingers.

Excellent video. Thank you.

Great vid but r u able to tell me the size of the 3 screws that u took out in the 4:25 min mark

Great job. Thank you.

Thanks for the great video. While waiting for replacement gears, would it work to disassemble the mirror enough to just unplug the folding motor wiring? I was thinking that would at least stop the constant clicking and perhaps the mirror tilt adjust would continue to function.

It Works thank for this video

I saw another video where the back housing pops off easy without tools

Awesome video!

Hi, thank you for the video, but after replacing these gears it does not function as usual I mean the mirror does not close and open only can adjust the position of the mirror

Do you know the size of the screws mentioned around 4:25 in the video ?

Do you now if it is compatible to kia ceed 2012 ?

What's usually the issue if the mirror sometimes gives up folding? Is the motor wearing out?

Where to buy the gear I have same problem in car's mirror. I need gear.

Thank you for the video👍 would the same gear you posted in the link work for a 2014 kia optima sx turbo?

I've got a 2021 Sportage. Someone bumped the driver's side mirror walking by in the garage and inevitably forced it closed a few inches. Now it's 'loose' when compared to the passenger side. To get it to close, it needs a slight tap. To open, it seems to function okay. However, it's now making a pretty loud clicking sound for about 10-15 seconds whenever you start or lock the car, whenever it's in an open/normal position. Does anyone think it's the gear shown in this video?

I updated my Comments with another provider. Plenty still available on e b a y even though my original seller appears to have disappeared.

I got a new gear, but whenever I put it in, the mirror doesn’t turn. Not even when I turn it manually. I’m confused af

Anyone happen to know if these gears are same used in the Telluride? Hard to figure it out on my kia.

Where did you buy the new gear?

My car is Cerato 2019 1.6 can you get me the link for that part?? I need it, Can you help me??

I already tried, but some parts was cracked 😂 from Laos 🇱🇦

No need to open all these covers. There is a trick 😊

Hi nice tutorial ... can u put a link with this gear?

You still ant getting Gibraltar 😅

This whole procedure looks frustrating. BUT what i'll do to save 500 bucks

where do i get this stuff

Any mazda 6 video?

It was a great video. For Kia Forte 2010-2013 can refer this link ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2yTDjSfbOE8.html

If I just unplug the power from it will that solve the issue? 😂
