Using this tutorial for a 2012 Kia Forte Koup SX - If anyone else has this car, the only primary difference from this video is that the top radiator mounting support brackets are built into the radiator assembly. You have to pop them down from the top to release the clips from the back before you'll be able to push the radiator up enough to get to the rear clips for the condenser. Thanks for sharing! Hope this helps someone else.
Hey man, quick question do you still have the car or did you sell it to a dealership? I was looking for a car and happened to stumble upon a Kia Optima very very similar to yours so I was just wondering if by chance this was yours I could get more information by the previous owner 😁 thanks 👍🏼

Hello UberMan. My 2012 Kia Optima SX Turbo radiator has a crack. So I'm doing this. Kia wants $900 to do the job. I wanted to know how that aftermarket radiator holding up? Any leaks, overheating? Thanks.

Considering this job for myself. What brand aftermarket radiator did you purchase? Thanks!
