Product Description
Kia Soul 2010-2012 Stainless Mirror Accent, 2 Pieces (MA10830)
MA10830 is a two-piece Mirror Accent Trim for the Kia Soul 4-door hatchback, model years 2010, 2011 and 2012. The catalog lists one row for it, with no exclusions, and one note that matters more than anything else on the record: this set does not include a cut out for the turn signal.
Why the turn signal note comes first
Some mirrors carry a turn signal lamp, and trim placed over a mirror housing has to leave that lamp visible if it's there. MA10830 has no opening for one. Before you order, look at your own Soul's mirrors. If there's a turn signal on the mirror housing, compare its position with the product photos and make sure the accent wouldn't cover it. If you aren't certain, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with the SKU before buying. A lamp being covered is the one outcome you want to rule out in advance, and the photos plus a quick call settle it.
What's in the set
Two pieces of 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, polished to a mirror finish and made in the USA. The catalog doesn't describe exactly where on the mirror each piece sits or give their dimensions, so the photos are your guide to shape and placement. Polished stainless has no plating, so there's no coating on the face to chip, and the thin gauge lets each piece follow the curve it's mounted on.
How they attach
Each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface, without drilling. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle. The tape bonds to the finish of the mirror housing, so that finish needs to be sound. On a Soul from these years, check for chips, scuffs or peeling clear coat on the housings and repair anything loose first.
Preparing and placing
Clean each housing with soap and water and let it dry fully, then wipe with rubbing alcohol to remove wax and road film. Keep the liner on and hold a piece in place, comparing its position with the photos. Look from the front of the car and from the side, and check that the two pieces match each other. A couple of small strips of painter's tape mark the spot. Peel, align and press firmly along every edge, then repeat on the other mirror. The Installation tab lists the steps and the temperature range the tape needs.
Practical notes
Work on a dry, mild day, and avoid folding or adjusting the mirrors hard right after installation while the bond settles. Give the pieces time before the first wash. For care, mild soap, water and a soft cloth; abrasive pads can dull the polish.
No other parts are linked on this record. Check the Soul is a 2010 to 2012, and mention MA10830 when you call 877-752-3811.
With two pieces and no hardware, the job is short; cleaning and the dry fit take most of the time.

Installation tips: Mirror Accent Trim
- Unpack all 2 pieces and match each one to its position on the vehicle, using the product photos, before fitting any of them.
- Each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, so clean and dry the mounting surface first; the tape needs paint or trim free of dirt and wax.
- Align the piece and press it firmly into place directly over the existing surface, working along its full length so the tape bonds evenly.
- Fit one piece at a time and compare each with the product photos and the pieces already in place.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
