I just completed this on my 2016 Hyundai Genesis 3.8 0 - right side. Instructions are the same. Getting the bezel off is a PITA. Saved me a $1,000+. Thank you. I bought two gears and will do the work on the drivers side as a precaution. it is just a matter of time before the drivers side gear has the same issue.
Terrific video. I asked the Genesis dealer what you idk cost and was told $1,500 + 7% tax. I found this video and ordered two gears from Amazon for a total cost of under $15. My wife eats a cup of yogurt every day so I grabbed several small plastic containers and labeled and filled them in the order you instructed and later reversed the process with nothing left over. Including a few incidentals such as lithium grease total project well under $20 and I have a gear for the passenger side. I had no idea there was so much inside a modern rear view mirror . Thanks.
I am so grateful for this video - thanks - detailed professional and easy to follow.I just completed the job in under 3 hours - if the passeneger mirror does the same thing, I think I can halve that now I know what to do. The best tip was keeping everything separated, so I knew which screws needed to go back where when putting things back together. I was also quoted $1000 +++ by dealership as I needed a new complete Mirror Housing, apparently!!!!! Thanks again.
Great video! The step by step was exactly what I needed. Providing the part number was also very helpful since I was really struggling to find the right one without first taking the whole mirror apart. It fit my 2016 3.8 Sedan perfectly.
Great video. I fixed mine today with a friend helping me. It took long time. For mirror I used plastic pry to get it out. Most difficult part is to remove the outer plastic rim for me. Happy to have it done.
Want to thank you for the video. Just replaced the gear in my 2025 Genesis. Worked as advertised. Couldn't have done it without your video & instructions. (And I didn't break off the heating tab)!
Thanks Caneswag, the instructions were great. Just a couple of comments to help other who watch it, as the instructions for putting in back together were a little less detailed. 1. Don't forget to reattach the red to the crew on the gear housing. 2. Remember to reattach the wire to the turn signal before bolting the motor back in place.
Hi, am searching for right help. I have similar problem in my santafe 2015. Exactly same gear mechanism as that of Genesis. After assembly, motor is not rotating. Any clue?, what should I do
Thanks for this. Very helpful. Mine genesis was a little different inside. But I was able to save lots of money. Dealership quoted me $1300. The part was $19.95 😂 . Thank you so much
My Equus is having the same issue, but since the mirrors are out I'll just don't fold them in anymore. Great video Swag, I got so many other things to take care of this is one I'll wait and see.
TY my guy, the dealership quoted me $1,300 to replace the entire mirror and paint it. I have been waiting for this video since the car wash broke mine.
Successfully swapped out the gear yesterday, total time was about 1:15 minutes. Thank goodness 🙏 I was so tired of not being able to fold my mirrors or hearing that annoying clicking sound when I would accidentally hit the button to fold in the mirrors.
I also followed the video and replaced the broken retracting gear today. Gear was slipping on shaft. I Did break a retainer tab on the mirror mount but it works okay. I'm not sure how you get around that. Took three hours. Reassembly went quicker than I expected. Tried screwing motor ground wire into wrong hole. I'm taking my wife to Whataburger to celebrate $1000+ savings!
Thank for the video really helped out a lot replaced the big gear today and put it back together it still didn’t work and I don’t hear any noise any suggestion what the cause is
hello sir just watched all ur videos related to genesis, great instructions, i have a genesis g80 the auto dimming of the driver side mirror has stopped , i don't think it is the fuse because there is no light or something the mirror tilts and move what do u think does the mirror part needs to be replaced or is it some sensor itself
@@CaneSwag83-01 Hey, Thanks for replying. My car doe'snt have any tints. I was thinking that may be some moisture or something may have short circuited the part where it dims.
Swag: fantastic video! And my dealership wants $1300 to replace the entire unit, rather than replace one tiny gear. Unfortunately, I do not have the skills/ability to do this myself. Can you come over to my house in Sarasota, FL and do this for me? Just kidding. But really, how does one go about finding someone to do this work? Again, I really enjoyed your video. thanks. Charles in Sarasota
Hey! I have the same model just like you. I’ve been having issues when I am coming to a stop & the rpm’s will tend to drop & jump back up. Almost like the throttle body is dirty or something. I would to love to take a video of the issue & show you what it does
It could be quite a few things. I would take it to a trusted mechanic and have them diagnose it. I have not had this issue with mine. Thx for the view!!!
Thank you for the easy tutorial. I just has one issue: after I fixed mine, the mirror camera turned blue, it’s not working. Do you know what’s happened? The camera is connected very well
I would look at replacing the camera. It's not expensive and pretty easy to do. Or also see if the connection is loose. Camera is located next to the rubber trunk release button.
Do u mean ( mirror camera,) or ( rear view,) reverse camera.? If u meant the reverse camera, i had the same blue screen problem, & had to change the camera.!
Thank you. Should be the same part. I do not think the folding mechanism changed from 15/16 to 17 model. You will have to open it up to make sure. If it matches, I would order two because the other mirror will go out eventually. Happened to me
Hi dear, I’ve followed all the step and I was able to fix it. But I had an issue with cery slow mirror movement side to side. And on auto tilt on reverse it tilts ok but it stuck tilted and doesn’t return back to the position it was. Could you please advice how to fix this issue as it wasn’t there before.
Hey there, love the video! I'm having this issue with my passenger mirror and Hyundai has quoted me $1800.00 because they said the whole assembly needs to be changed. Would you think that the motor shown in the video will solve that issue? My blind side detection is gone as well and the dealership has said that they wont be able to diagnose it until the mirror is fixed because they are connected. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
@CaneSwag83-01 They said because the mirror isnt working its potentially effecting the BSD. Glad you replied actually because I cant see on my door where to access the mirror from the inside as you show at the start of the video. Wish I could send you a pic.
Did you end up resolving your Blind spot detection issue? My dealer is telling me the same thing but I don't want to buy the whole assembly if I don't have to.
@jessicaluchka6078 I have not yet but I have a mechanic looking at it next week who specializes in electrical components so when I find out I'll let you know!
Where did you find the replacement gear piece? I have not been able to find it. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks! Update: I ordered two new gears from E-bay for $16, followed your instructions to the T, and now the mirror works like new. Thanks again!
hello there i fixed my thank you one problem. concerning step one when removing mirror after i put all together i cannot adjust the mirror. it is stuck at the position when i removed it. is there a way to unstuck it please let me know i do not want to force it in place i am afraid it may break. thanks
Good afternoon, Would you happen to know the exact name or part number for the phillip head tip that connects the inner window molding to the door frame? While doing this project for the mirror, I noticed that I'm missing those screws on both doors, and my OCD is now drovong me crazy.
Hey i took everything out and got to the gears but neither of them were broken, the issue in the first place was that the mirror doesnt fold but i could hear the gears moving. What could the specific issue be?
Even the smallest crack in the gear will cause them not to fold. I would change out the gears and see if it works after that. You shouldn't hear the gears moving.
I’m confused because the item number you listed is different from the one you said in the video… n none of them game up for A 2015 Hyundai Genesis sedan .. help me understand
I have my Genesis set so the mirror only folds when I want it to fold. (like in a car wash) At this rate, it shouldn't break for another 20 years. I also turned off the auto-tilt.
Have this problem but just ignored it and turned off folding….now mirror assembly is moving at high speed. Do you think it’s more than the big gear now?
What website did you use to order the part. Also have you had a problem with the sunroof mine got stuck opened and had to force it closed. Just seeing if you’ve come across this.
God bless you brother, could you please tell me how can I get in touch with you ? I got. The same car and got few questions maybe you could help me solve it

It would pretty much be the same as changing the gears. Order a new puddle light and replace it.
Thanks for the video!
Where did you get your
Pry tool??
Amazon
Excellent Video, Can you provide a video on how to replace the puddle light bulb please. I'm unable to find this information. Thanks
Basically the same thing. Puddle light unplugs from the assembly on the inside of mirror and you just plug a new one in. Hope this helps.

When yours initially broke, could you still hear the mirror motor whirring it just wasn’t catching?
First noise was the clicking. Then after that, I could hear the motor, but it wasn't catching.
Hi I was just wondering if I order an entire new mirror do I have to go through all this trouble or just remove the old mirror and put in the new one
You can order a new mirror, but it's not cheap, and you will have to get it painted. Easy to swap out mirror, but pricey!

Try moving mirror around with your hand all the way up and to each side. Also might have to take mirror off and put back on. Make sure it is centered
