Rear out side mirror does not open or close. You can hair the motor working. Any one have this problem?

Do you consider the right or the left (or both) to be the "rear" outside mirror?
Anyway....

How to: Genesis sedan Power mirror gear replacement

So I had to change out my mirror gear and figured I would do a write up on it since it seems to be a fairly common issue as these cars age. This is for those experiencing the clicking when trying to fold/unfold power mirrors. I tried my best to get as many pictures as possible, admittedly I did...

I'd guess that's a right-side mirror and our OP is a victim of autocorrect.

I also recommend the $20 part and a couple hours of labor gear-replacement method. The alternative is $1000+ at your local dealer. Ask me how I know.

Had my driver side mirror replaced under extended warranty a couple years ago for gear failure. Symptom: Makes noise, doesn't move, eventually times out and stops after 20-30 secs.

Service Mgr said he subbed out the entire job to a local body shop since it had to be painted. I printed out the thread from this forum and showed him the directions with all the pictures. He agreed he could get the part in a couple days and it would take his tech only a couple hrs, but said it's better business for him not to pay his tech to have to figure it out and just have the body shop do the entire job, since that's what they normally do for body parts like this. Invoice was approx $1100. Zero cost to me due to my HPP Platinum zero deductible extended warranty.

Thanks for the reply. I am out of the HPP Platinum zero deductible extended warranty by four months. But I will try my local body shop to see what they would charge to repair the mirror.

Ah, yes, the extended warranty really pays off in situations like this. The extended warranty on my ‘12 Genesis runs till August ‘24. I transferred the warranty, along with the car, to my Son last year.
