all right i got a kia soul 2016 and this mirror kept falling off
what they did is they put a star driver screw in there
for some reason instead of using them like a phillips or something who knows why
and on the bottom of the screw is a point and the point never really did never went into the metal
clip here it always just glided instead of having a nice flat surface it has this metal point which
is ridiculous well after about the eighth time of it falling off it finally snapped this little
edge that holds it in and um this little piece and while this mirror is only a mirror it's
generic it's just got the day and night night switch here um it cost a hundred dollars new
and that's ebay price and then um 45 dollars if you bought a used one which is ridiculous
so i went and um looked at o'reilly's and they had um these systems these fit system mirrors
this is a 10 inch and this is an 8 inch and i wasn't sure which one so i bought both this 10
inch is the one that matches the kia soul 2016 and if you have one of these you know what i'm talking
about i'm sure this mirror falls off on yours too as well but for about 16.99 i got this new mirror
and i'll show you what it looks like in the car it's really easy to install and you don't have to
worry about buying an oem one for a hundred dollars that's just gonna pull off again
so i'll be returning this one but i got i got this one i'm using this um 10 inch wide one okay so
here's the new mirror 16 at o'reilly's autozone discount autumn um as i said the original would
have cost me a hundred dollars forty five dollars if i went on ebay and bought an old used one
here's the original and there's the new one they're almost the same size i think
they are the same size as far as width wise the original is a little white um thicker up and down
um but this works just fine i could see the entire back of the car so if you have to replace your
mirror don't go with the oem just get a generic one this hasn't got the day and night lever here
too as well just like the original now this is a dumb down mirror it doesn't have the buttons
or anything but i i don't have buttons on this car so it doesn't really matter um this one's
a lot more stable than the oem i wouldn't think about buying the oem one at this point
one thing about these fit system mirrors that i want to warn you about
is when you have it in night mode it tends to vibrate when if the car vibrates a little um
it seems to happen only in night mode if you put it back to day mode it's fine
i don't think it'll be noticeable as much at night but i just want you to let you be aware
that um if you have that problem you probably just have to switch it to day mode and it won't
vibrate up and down as much i think it's inside the mirror it's actually not the bracket doing it
but it's in the mirror because when you switch this lever it moves the mirror up and down i
get to get away from the um silver coating and i think most mirrors do that actually
but these fit system mirrors seem to do it more than the oem i think i was going to
buy a different brand but i was reading other people's comments on even different brands that
they had problems so that might be something you might want to check if you get one of these
mirrors make sure that um you're compatible with the vibrations at night if you use it
i'm going to keep this one i think because there's no others that i could tell
the only other ones that might um be good are dormant they're 25
even those they got complaints about but those that's a good brand doorman you
