KIA/Hyundai mirror grinding-broken gear replacement

KIA or Hyundai. 2014 Kia Forte ex with power folding mirror was grinding and not shutting off. Found broken gear inside. Replaced with a simple eBay search and had shipped from china in a speedy pak. Saves hundreds.
looks like the guy I was buying from is no longer a registered user on ebay for whatever reason. appears to be plenty available though found when searching. This is one of them:

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.

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!!!

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.

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

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.

Hands down best video for this repair! Much obliged.

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?

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.

[@stevemoyers5693]

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 ……
