Kia Sorento MK1 02-06 Interior Rear View Mirror

Premium Automotive Parts
This genuine OEM Kia inner passenger cabin rear view mirror assembly mounts directly onto the factory upper windshield glass wedge bracket button. Sourced from original SUV cockpit layouts, this item features a manual day/night anti-glare thumb dipping lever mechanism to quickly deflect blinding trailing headlight high beams during night driving. Replacing a loose, cloudy, water-spotted, or detached central glass assembly safely restores clear rearward horizon visibility and stops annoying mirror housing vibrations on bumpy roads.

This genuine factory safety component is engineered to slide into the front interior windshield mirror buttons of the first-generation Sorento platforms detailed below:
- Kia Sorento MK1 Pre-Facelift Series (BL Chassis Layout Infrastructure): LX, EX, and XS trim configurations running 2.4L petrol, 3.5L Sigma V6 petrol, or 2.5L CRDi turbodiesel powertrain configurations (2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006)
- Removal Precaution: To extract your damaged mirror from the glass base without accidentally shattering or fracturing the laminated windshield layout lines, slide the mounting foot vertically upward parallel to the glass incline angle. Avoid pulling or twisting the mirror assembly outward forcefully perpendicular to the windscreen face, as this can easily rip away a chunk of the underlying safety glass.
- Pivot Friction Adjustment Note: Internal friction sockets naturally loosen over years of frequent adjustment cycles, leading to mirrors that droop under heavy cabin vibrations. Before running a replacement mirror, ensure your windshield wedge button is free of grease or glass cleaner residue. Slide the mounting base completely down until it drops over the internal retention detent tab with an audible click.
- Used Cosmetic Condition Note: Sourced from an accident-free, clean salvage donor car interior layout, this mirror assembly has been thoroughly hand-cleaned, surface detailed, and pivot checked. The dipping mechanism levers forward and backward tightly with a crisp snap, the housing has no severe sun fade cracks, and the mirror glass pane surface runs 100% free of clouding or heavy pitting scuffs. Expect typical minor storage dust; the bonded windshield metal mounting button piece is not included.
