I have a 2006 Kia Sorento. The driver side view mirror got cracked in a minor accident. Only the mirror got cracked, but the entire casing is still in-tack. Do I need to replace the whole casing or can I just replace the mirror it self? If I can just replace the mirror, any suggestion on how I can do it myself? Thanks.

Any shop that replaces windshields can replace just the glass in your mirror usually for around $25-$35. It's not a hard job and it takes about 20 minutes. They might even do a little better on the price if you don't need a receipt. You can do it yourself if you can get the mirror. You need some silicone adhesive, electrical tape and a couple of wood or plastic blocks.Clean all the broken mirror out and clean the glue off in the case. Run a bead of silicone around the inside of the new glass about 1-2 inches from the edge and put a couple of dabs in the center part. If your silicone is too close to the edge, when you press the new mirror on the glue will squeeze out and glue the mirror to the case. Press the new mirror into the case and wrap the electrical tape around the case and over a block on the face of the mirror. You want the tape pulled a little tight so it puts pressure on the glass but not tight enough to break it. Do this on each end of the mirror and leave it for 24 hours, then remove the tape and blocks. Hope this helps.

How to tell if a fuse in 2003 Kia Sorento is good

None of those would be fixed by replacing the battery. Or did you replace the battery and then all of those stopped working?

You can tell of blade fuses are blown if you full them and hold them up to the light. That is a whole lot of stuff not working. I would say you need a good auto-electrician.

My kia sorento 2006 limited edition bought as used .The problem is the radio can get so much station .It's antenna located behind rear view mirror on windshield.Please

These types of antenna have poor reception, but should pickup local channels. Check the back of your receiver to make sure the coax is pushed all the way in, and hasn't fallen out. For better reception you could replace the aerial with a mounted aftermarket one. Hope this helps.

Yes you can replace it yourself, but you must be extra careful, the mirror glass is attached to a holder that can be removed ( not sure how in Sorento) and that the replacement mirror can be attached. Try to have a look at the new replacement and you will be able to figure out how.

How do I replace driver side view mirror

There is a triangular piece of plastic inside the door opposite the mirror. You remove the panel and you'll see 2 bolts. Remove the bolts and unplug the wire connector (if you have electric rear view mirrors) and the mirror will come right off. Installation is reverse.

3_18_2013_2_41_45_pm.jpg

3) The panel will expose the 3 main bolts that need to be removed:
3_18_2013_2_43_24_pm.jpg

4) The cable harness needs to be removed this is located behind the door panel. Remove the one screw behind the screw cover:

Once the one screw is removed it will allow you to move the door panel enough to get to the harness and the 2 bottom bolts.

Here is how the harness looks:

Once the harness is removed and the 3 bolts removed the mirror will come out.

Repeat the steps to re install your new mirror.
