It can be frustrating to deal with malfunctioning Hyundai side view mirrors. When your mirrors won't move, fold, or stay in place, it affects how well you can drive and park. Problems like these might seem small, but they can make a big difference in how safe you feel on the road. If you notice that your mirror controls stop working, or the mirror feels loose, it might be time to take a closer look. Let's talk about what could be happening and what you can do about it.
Look for signs something's wrong
The first thing you might notice is that your mirrors won't adjust when you press the buttons. Maybe they don't fold in anymore or shake while driving. Sometimes, the glass itself feels loose, or it won't stay in the right spot. You may even hear clicking sounds or notice that the mirror seems stuck. These signs can point to problems with the wiring, the motor inside the mirror, or even the mirror's mounting.
Understand what causes the issue
Mirror problems can happen for a few reasons. Bumps in parking lots, car washes, or harsh weather can damage them. Inside the mirror, small parts like the motor or gears may wear out over time. There might also be trouble with the switch on your door or a fuse that has blown. In some cases, the mirror issues are linked to problems in your car's software, especially if your car has features like auto-folding or memory settings. A quick restart of your car's battery can sometimes fix this, but it's not a sure thing.
Know when to get help
It's not always easy to figure out what's wrong just by looking at the mirror. Even if it seems like a small fix, it's best to get it checked. We don't recommend trying to take it apart yourself. Side mirrors have wires and parts that are easy to damage if handled the wrong way. That's why getting help from trained Hyundai technicians is the safest move. They have the right tools and know what to look for.
Stay ahead by spotting early warning signs
Catching mirror issues early can save you from bigger problems later. If your mirrors aren't responding like they used to or seem out of place after a small impact, don't wait. These mirrors do more than help you see behind-they also help with turning, merging, and parking. A mirror that won't stay put or work right can turn into a safety concern.
