  1. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    Hi All, Have a new teen driver who will be driving my hand-me-down 2012 Optima, but I would prefer something with a blind-spot indication. 2014 mirrors have that feature, and I'm thinking of swapping the 2012 mirrors out to the 2014-15 ones (cheaper than swapping cars :) ). They look the same...

    Hi, everyone. I have a 2018 Optima LX 2.4L. My passenger side mirror was clipped in the parking lot at work and needs to be replaced. There are so many options for replacements, and the only thing (I believe) that I'm unsure of is whether the mirrors are heated. If they were, would they have the...

    I couldn't figure out where to post this, but felt it might come in handy, especially seeing as how our cars do have smaller than average viewing angles out the back... A lot of the "turning" type accident's I've seen on car crash channels on YouTube could be avoided if people just set their...

    I am giving away the original rear-view mirror from my 2018 Optima SXL Turbo. Just pay shipping from Miami. The mirror is in perfect condition and features auto-dimming. I no longer need it since I upgraded to a mirror with HomeLink and compass.

    So, last night my garage wall decided to be a punk and jumped my driver side mirror:( My side mirror sustained a fractured mirror. I am trying to keep her calm about the scary operation to repair her broken little face but she is still a nervous wreck!! Can anyone tell me if this is a major...

    Hello, It's been a while! Have searched a bunch of threads but still need a little help. The passenger side mirror is broken. The internals specifically. The exterior of the assembly and the glass are fine. The mirror came popped out while I was on the freeway doing 70 but the wires held in...

    Hey gang. 500 kms over warranty and the dealership won't help since I don't service with them...lovely. Anyhow, my passenger side mirror is sometimes not folding. I've come to the conclusion that the internal plastic gears are damaged. Finding this mirror is like a needle in a haystack. The...
  9. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    Hi guys. I've been scouring the threads for hours and have come up with a couple of possibilities of my issue. I'm hoping someone had the issue and can steer me in the right directions to the next steps. A few days ago the passenger side mirror on my 2014 SX-T didn't unfold when I walked...

    Hi folks, my rear view mirror only dims intermittently, has anyone encountered this issue? It works for a while then "un-dims" at night.

    Does anyone know where I can purchase black side mirror covers that are compatible with my 2016 Optima EX? I purchased these off eBay, but the clips on the back do not match up with my OEM mirror clips. The shape of the covers is exactly the same, but not the clips. I am aware of the carbon...

    Hey guys, my drivers side mirror won’t stop running, even with the car off. It sounds like it keeps trying to move the mirror. I got help from here with replacing the mirror and thought that would work, but it didn’t. I tried replacing the fuse to no avail. Anyone have any idea how to fix this...

    Greetings all. My wife's car is a 2012 Kia Optima LX 4-door sedan NA, 3D Bright Silver Metallic. We bought it new and haven't had a lick of trouble with it, until now that is. In a rush to leave, she hit the driver side mirror on the garage and it's toast, so I need to replace the entire thing...

    Hello all! Long time lurker here. Bought my Optima a year old and any time I had an issue or question this is where I came. Well I have an issue. Walked out to my Optima, which was sitting in my driveway, and found the drivers mirror hanging by the wires. Who knew mirrors just fell off. :$...
  17. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    In my new member introduction, I talked about my driver side mirror falling/breaking off. A couple of great members helped me along, with guiding me to find what I needed. I have come to the conclusion that for the same price as one OEM mirror, I could possibly buy a pair of power folding...

    Only works occasionally. Why?
  19. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    A few weeks ago, somebody must have clipped my mirror, and the glass is now loose and almost falls out. I can push it inward and hear it click it, but when I adjust it, it tends to just almost fall out, or if I'm driving over highway speed, it flops downwards. Is there a way to remove the glass...
  20. 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...
