How to Replace the External Wing Mirror on a Kia Optima

Model: Kia Optima / K5 JF, MK 4 - Years 2015-2020
Part: Side mirror

To replace the external wing mirror on a Kia Optima, you need to detach the triangular plastic cover located inside the door, corresponding to the mirror. Once you remove this cover, you will have access to the screws underneath, allowing you to loosen them and disconnect the connector attached to the mirror. The mirror can now be removed from its housing so that a new replacement part can be fitted: secure it with the bolts and connect it to the connector, then reinsert the triangular cover.
