  1. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    Has anyone successfully swapped the Power Folding Mirrors from a 2015 EX and put them on a 2012 EX that also has the Power Folding Mirrors as well? My 2012 has the common issue that motor runs nonstop so I have access to a 2015 EX that is same color as mine and has fully functional mirrors but...

    Back in the summer, my left power folding mirror would no longer fold and the motor would just keep on trying. It even would keep making a sound with the car being off. I ended up just unplugging the mirror. Last night for the first time since the summer, I pushed the mirror button on accident...
  3. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    This is on my 2013 SXL. I am hoping that someone might have an extra mirror that they had to replace due to damage other than this gear that wouldn't mind selling me this tiny gear, or even the entire assembly if need be. Mine cracked on one side and then spun over the spines of the metal part...

    My 2018 EX has automatically folding side mirrors. I've had the car for a few weeks now and I noticed when the mirrors fold out, the driver's side makes a high-pitched squeak as it gets into place. It didn't do it before, so I'm hoping this is an easy fix with some kind of lube. Any...

    We owned a 2010 and a 2014 and thought they both had auto folding mirrors, the 2010 mirrors dont fold when locking the car. I thought the motor was broken (even though the button inside the car will close the mirrors). I asked the dealer to look and they said the 2013 doesn't offer that. Is this...

    Hey Guys So I have a 2016 Kia Optima EX with prem package. This is my first time having a car with power mirrors and I have a few hypothetical questions below. I couldn't find anything in the manual. 1. if someone hits / bumps into my mirror and it goes inward or outward do you just manually...

    We have a lot of serious performance parts and products for Optimas, but looks like it's the right time to talk about one other silly but very useful accessory. It's summer and in some places it's getting so hot that you can cook your lunch on the roof of a car. Interior extremely warms up and...
  8. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    I have a 2012 SX-T with factory power folding mirrors. I folded them in today, and when I folded them back out the drivers side motor will not stop running. The manual says that the interior fuse labeled "HTD MIRR" is supposed to control the folding mirror but when I pull it the motor still...
  9. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    Hey guys I need help. My power folding mirrors won't close when I lock my car. But they do lock from the inside switch. What can be the reason for this?
  10. The Service Center
    Inside the trunk - I've broken the little clip that holds the seat folding "pull". Anybody know where to get the replacement part? Wondering if there's a better replacement than that OEM plastic piece - as I'm suspecting I might hit it and break it again. :)

    Teammates.......so I have the power folding mirror conversion kit, and a matching switch bezel courtesy of stoli, and I’m ready to go. However, the connector on the new mirror is not compatible with the plug on my 2015 door harness. Cutting and splicing is not an option because the mirror unit...
  12. Interior and Exterior Modifications
    I have a question for anyone doing, done or thinking about the folding mirror conversion mod. I have the kit, including the lock/unlock module, but I'm having a dickens of a time trying to match the switch bezel trim. The only options provided with the kit are wood or carbon fiber, driver side...
  13. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    You know... I've put off for a long time to install my power folding mirror module. I had bookmarked the page which shows the installation but now when I try to access it I get: langenet, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons: Your user...
  14. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    So this has happened a total of about 3 times now. I just ignored it the first couple times, but since it happened again, I thought I would ask you guys. For some reason when I unlock the car with the button on the door, sometimes one mirror doesn't unfold. One time it was the right, the other...
  15. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    I've searched and googled and looked in the manual but can't find the answer. Currently, when I walk near my car the power mirror will automatically unfold. I would like to make it so that they only unfold when I unlock the door. I know you can do this because it was functioning like that for a...
  16. Entertainment: Audio, Navigation, and Electronics
    I've searched the 'net and the forum and checked through my manual, can't seem to find anything unless I'm missing the obvious... Is there any way to turn off the power folding mirror feature temporarily? I figure if I feel like being able to park and lock the car without them folding in. I...
  17. Interior and Exterior Modifications
    Hello everyone. First I hope I am at the right sub forum, if not an Admin, please feel free to move this. I have a question regarding the 2014 Optima SXT or SXL. I remember when I went to the dealership to test drive one, the agent showed me that the mirrors auto fold once you are close or far...

    I picked up a set of power folding mirrors but they shipped the wrong switch cover... If you have the folding mirrors and carbon fiber trim, could you PM me the last 8 digits of your VIN so I can be certain to get the right part this time around? Pretty certain this is the right one, but I...
  20. Interior and Exterior Modifications
    Hey guys, got a quick question here. I have the auto-folding mirror module for when you lock the door the mirrors fold up. I have noticed recently, especially now that its colder outside, that when I turn the car off the mirrors will fold up on there own. This is without locking the car. Has...
