Good video, I was having trouble finding a straightforward video on this mount until I found yours. Thank you

[@ianharkins2172]

Very informative, thank you. That mount is not as difficult to access as I had feared.

[@theautochap]

Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching! :)

Awesome video! A Kia dealer just quoted me $900 in just labor to replace the one in my daughter’s 2012 Forte Koup. This looks easy.

[@theautochap]

Yes, definitely something you can complete at home for very cheap! Glad you found the video helpful and thanks for watching! :)

I just replaced it today (took me awhile to get to it). I had to remove the four 12mm bolts and move the battery tray out of the way, because I couldn’t get my 17mm socket on the bracket bolt closest to the tray. Also, it was so tight around the bottom bolt on the mount that I couldn’t even get a 3/8” socket and swivel on it, so I ended up using a 14mm combination wrench (the box end) to remove and reinstall it. Finally, some of the 17mm bolts on the bracket were a bit rusty (I’m in Texas, so no salt or rust here), so they were a bit “sticky” tightening and torquing them. I used a wire brush on the threads, but I’d recommend chasing them with a die, or maybe putting a little oil on the threads when reinstalling.

Are you eating something, or you have any problem with your Tonge?

[@theautochap]

No problems that I’m aware of, but your comment has me worried now :( I’ve scheduled an appointment with my doctor to get my tongue checked out. I’ll keep you updated on what I find out! Thank you so much kind stranger!

What??? I don't think anything sounded wrong with him at all. Do you mean because of his accent? If so that's pretty darn rude. We all have accents, we just notice others more than others depending on where you're from. I thought he actually spoke very cleanly and pleasant given his native tongue. Even better than most tbh.
