I have a 2013 Ex model and have had the same issues! My engine blew out driving home one day. My KIA dealership able to fix the engine due to the recall. The dealership estimate was over $400 just to fix the two back door. I’m so glad to run across this video. Thank you!! 😊
Same thing here! Motor blew at 100,000 and they replaced it free due to recall! Was a 10k repair! Thank God for that recall! Also glad the video helped out! Thanks for watching!
I do love my Kia optima 2013 EX, the engine blew at 17,000 miles. New one and no problems since. Recently the passenger side back window chrome piece came off in the back. I don’t wanna pay the dealership to fix it. Thank you for your video!!!!
So crazy...I just got my Optima back for the same engine issue and decided "you know its worth fixing that trim and other little stuff now" and here you are. My 10 year old engine seized at 114K miles but they still replaced it.
I had the same problem with my chevy 2013 Chevy Malibu. The replacement trim piece for just one door was around 180 bucks. I went and pulled a piece of trim at a junkyard for 3 bucks. So this is a reminder to people to check your local Pull Your Own Parts junkyards to at least save money on the part.
@@julidcano81 maybe it depends on the junkyard. I definitely got just the trim I needed from mine. I can kind of see the logic tho about what your saying. If someone took just the trim who the hell is gonna want the door later?
I have the 2015 sx turbo model. I had the same blown engine problem. I'm happy kia took care of you. They completely screwed me for $4000. They told me they wouldn't pay because i filed after the deadline, even though i filed 4 weeks before the deadline. Awesome video as well. Thankyou.
Yeah our 2016 kia optima actually had an engine fault and we had to replace it. Ended up being recalled so kia took care of us and now we have lifetime warranty on it. Love kias fr
I just got mine today from the Kia dealership and it was $52. They wanted $25 2 ad the installment here. The only thing I wish you would have shown was taking the 2 in pieces off. I think overall it was a great video. The two end pieces that were left with the little clips, I guess I can take them out with a pair of needle-nose pliers. Thank you for your help...Greg
Unfortunately the missing pieces blew off while driving. A lot of Kias are missing them. Must be a manufacturing issue. The guy at the counter says he sells them all the time!
the issue I'm having is the piece around the rear windshield right behind the door is falling off (the chrome). idk how to find the piece because I can't figure out the name or how I would even replace it.
Try going to dealership and see if they can tell you exactly the part and part #. If you can’t find a replacement online for cheaper in the parking lot…. Go back in and have them order it…. They’re install is crazy so you can definitely do yourself! Hope that helps!
Thank you for this video and for the link (in another comment). I used it and it was for $38 +tax and shipping. Much better than the $75. My engine also blew up two months ago. Thank Gid it was under recall. Brand new $4,500 engine. I just had to pay $488.
You shouldn’t have had to pay anything! I only paid my initial tow which cost $100 and they were going to reimburse me that but I never did the paperwork. You need to get your $488 back! But glad this helped ya!
@@TheCrawlspaceCraftsman , It's better than nothing. It was for Transmission fluid, some other type of fluid, and for the testing to see if it fell under the recall.
Awesome video !!! Hey just a heads up alcohol has a dry time of an hour , if you wanna do it right . Number one failure of all bonds is surface prep . That is cheap sticky tape also so ......
Thanks for posting this video. You’re a lifesaver. I installed it today, and it was easier than I thought. I got mine on eBay for $53 (after tax). I’m just curious; what kind of shampoo did you use to clean the seats?
Nothing like a brand new engine. Amazing, by the way! Funny thing, my Optima window strip just went missing. Came across your video. Interesting. Do you have any links to where I can find the strips more affordable besides the Dealer shop? I did see some on Amazon for $45 but I sometimes wonder if what they sell on there are legit products.🤔 Thanx for the info.✌
Honestly I went direct to the dealer parts counter. I probably paid a little more but at least I know it’s a genuine part that will fit 100% correctly.
I just bought one for the left rear side. I hope I ordered the correct thing from Kia online because it was only 40 bucks lol. It’s part number 83850-2T000. Is that the part number for the left side? Your video helps, I’ll use this to help me do it when I get it in the mail!
Hello and thanks for the video, I have the exact same car and wanted to know if you were able to find the trim on line cheaper? Same thing is happening to my car.
Hey Cesar! I have not unfortunately buy my rear one just came off that’s above the rear quarter panel! The one I installed is still on. I would check the Kia dealership parts department to see if the price went up or down! Thanks for watching!
Best bet is to go through the dealership. They told me they get this request all the time so I believe it’s a known issue! Plus you’re going to get an OEM Kia Part.
Yup! Our engine locked at 101k. It had a recall and they covered all $10k to replace motor! Cost me $100 to tow it but never went to get reimbursed as I was ok with paying it! LoL.
Mostl likely yes! I’d be about 99% sure of it. Worst case scenario.... go to the dealer and ask to look at a molding. That will give you an idea of what your looking at!
I just brought this part from kia but I had to to also by the part for the small window in the back in both sides. It was pricy and on top of that kia wanted to charge $60 to install each side I’ll try and do it myself after watching this lol
I would think you’ll destroy them taking them off as they’re not really suppose to Be removed. Usually you’d have to replace them then. The adhesive tape is strong and the clips will probably break.
@@TheCrawlspaceCraftsman yeah mine is hanging on by one clasp. The rest of them melted. And my car is a 2019 too :/ but I found the part on the Kia parts website
So I got mine direct from the dealer parts department. It happens so much on these cars they’re literally in stock all the time. Otherwise you might be able to order cheaper online but I don’t have that information. Hope that helped out some!
Why didn’t you put that black thing back on the second door, that’s probably why it was way easier to put that one on, but Thankx for the video it helped a lot 👌🏽
If you simply go to Kia and go the parts depart counter... let them know that make, model and year and they have them in stock... this happens REGULARLY!!!!
Mine just broke off at the car wash, I’m in knightdale. Just came across this video while I was googling how to fix it. Do you have a link on where to buy them?
Just over 100k! It was a Manufacture Issue and was paid for 100% including our rental so I can't complain. Now we have a new motor! :). Thanks for Watching!
I quickly Subbed and then you said you give reviews on EVERYTHING from Ramon Noodles to..... Wait.... Ramon Noodles???? Naw I'm Good..... So I "UNSUBSCRIBED" Even Quicker.

How did it work out!?
From where I couldn’t find them online. I need one.

Do you know what the OEM number is for the trim
Try 838602T000. Thanks for watching! You can find this part on eBay right now for $58! Search that part number.

Thanks for watching! I’ve looked and can not seem to find aftermarket. Might have to just spend the $75. Sorry! Wish I had a source!
The piece on my rear driver's side blew off on the freeway. I bought an OEM replacement on Amazon for $53 and it was super easy to attach.
So where would you say is best place to purchase those passenger side top parts? Mine flew off on the interstate lmao. Thanks! Awesome video!
Honestly I went direct to the dealer parts counter. I probably paid a little more but at least I know it’s a genuine part that will fit 100% correctly.
Same lol. About to replace mine
What is the part #
I don’t have that info. If you contact your local Kia parts department they can look it up and get to the part number.

Where did you get it I can't find it and I need one for my kia
Went to the dealership parts department.
Have you tried removing the chrome pieces in the rear that connect to the trunk?
I have not. Only replaced what's in the video. Its probably the same with clips but I couldnt be too sure.
I broke my trim piece of when I had to change my broken window and I actually broke my regulator and had to buy another one. It just never ends.
Part numbers please?
You can order on Amazon. Search Kia Rear Quarter Trim Moulding.
Is it the same process to take them off?? I want to remove mine to wrap them in black.👁
I would think you’ll destroy them taking them off as they’re not really suppose to Be removed. Usually you’d have to replace them then. The adhesive tape is strong and the clips will probably break.
Mine is the silver trim after that. The one that goes onto the trunk. Having a hard time finding the part for that.
Funny story…. The same piece your missing just flew off on our car last week!!! 🤦🏻♂️

Not sure but I would think so. Probably have to go to dealer.
Can I please get the part numbers for both sides
Id recommend going to the Kia Dealer and going to Parts Counter for the correct part. They have these in stock all the time
83850-2T000 Driver Rear. 83860-2T000 Passenger Rear.
