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.

Hands down best video for this repair! Much obliged.

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,

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.

Great. A year later I had to do the passenger side. Same broken plastic gear inside. I had to watch my own video again to figure out how to do it. LOL.

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

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 🇹🇹 👊🏿

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.

No repair will just mean replacement. Used one from a wreck will probably fail quickly. Those factory gears just don’t last. Best solution is factory replacement of the whole mirror. Probably last about five years. But expensive. Good luck.

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!!!

@@DIYHelp Thats what I did! Thanks.

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.

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.

Sure. Just unplug it with the mirror in open position. The mirror itself you can probably push on the mirror to adjust and just leave it.

I’m sorry I don’t. Trial and error or take apart the other mirror and compare.

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?

Yes. Your gear was broke or stripped a bit. It’s cheap parts and break easily. Again more than likely an easy fix versus buying all new. Very expensive.

Get your old gears out and examine for damage and appearance to ours. If anything go to my eBay supplier I used and contact them through eBay with pictures and see what they can find. Historically they have been helpful and respond quickly. But at weird hours due to difference in time I guess. They sent me a catalog of gears and they have a lot. Good luck.
