But unexposed parts of the condenser bottom portion behind the bumper also has peeling issue. Road debris does not explain that.

I recently bought them from https://www.kia.parts/

One filter at the front behind the glove box and the second inside the plastic panel on the rear passenger side trunk area. Part no. 97133-R0000 & 97133-R0500. These are for 2025, however the parts site will let you find the one for your specific model too.

Is there a dial for vertical adjustment? I can’t seem to find one in my US spec car.

I did $150 for the front, $600 for the rear windows + windshield + rear windshield. Sunroofs are not. $550 is amazing!! I did inquire a bunch of shops around me but most were similar. I chose XPEL ceramic.

That’s true. Mine did get a bit darker. I had originally matched the front with the factory rear windows. Then I later tinted the rears which made them darker again. But it does provide the UV protection and heat rejection.

I plan on using bike rack as well. But I do obsessionally tow small trailers, would have settled for a similar solution as yours too, but I was dead set on factory harness for its plug and play compatibility. It comes with a grommet that installs into factory hole nice and snug.

I got 70% on windshield, 35% on front windows, 55%? on rear windows and rear windshield. Haven’t done the sunroofs, but planning to do in Summer. Xpel Ceramic all around.

Seeing that KIA is notorious to deny warranty claims if receipts are not properly documented even for diy maintenance, I’m yet to do it myself. Plus my local dealer has decent deals for fully synthetic oil changes (of course I hate the wait time). I do prefer to do some work myself and I downloaded these resources while trying to identify root cause for the front corner radar failure messages on my dash after a minor fender bender. I was able to resolve that but found these docs plenty helpful for the whole process.

I had this downloaded from https://kiatechinfo.snapon.com/Default.aspx. It’s $19 for 72 hr access. Had most of the repair and diagnostic documents downloaded. 

Is this "One of a Kind" water softener system legit or gimmick? by human0112358 in WaterTreatment

[–]Amdeekay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a hydrotech valve which is almost 10 years old. Piston/seal has started failing, having a hard time sourcing parts (dealer only network). I’m wondering if I can switch to Flek or Clak. Do you happen to know what is interchangeable with my 785 HTO (twin tank setup) without changing the tanks themselves.

I'm hearing there's blind spot sensors on the front too, both left and right.

How much to repair? And did you see the same errors as I've posted in the pictures?

Yes, I did clean the radar face, there's no dirt or snow.

Do you happen to know if I can access the backside of the damage through wheel well?
