All I needed was to remove the glass itself, and have confidence that it needed a bit of force to get it dislodged without breaking the glass itself. I can see from your vid that you did need quite a bit of force, and so got mine off from my 2016 A3 without a problem 👍 thank you!
did the same thing on my a6, first side took an hour the 2nd side only took 15 mins. once you get the hang of it it’s easy. Just be careful of the pesky clips in the back one or two of mine broke but everything clipped in just fine.
thank you for this video, but it may have only gotten me only halfway. I smashed my right mirror backing out of garage and I may need to take the unit off and replace same with a new unit. Got a video for that?
Good man, thank you… I took my Audi A6 2017 S Line passenger side mirror to a mechanic to replace my broken one and as I was driving on the motorway I could see that the mirror was wobbly. I tried to push it in to make it steady but I couldn’t do it unfortunately. Any suggestions please? Thank you
The driver's side mirror on my A6 C7 is stuck in the closed position. Is it safe to manually push it to the open position or do I risk damaging the motor/gear? I see you have manually pushed the unit further out, so that does give me a little confidence....Cheers
I cannot speak for your exact issue, or whether there is some deeper mechanical fault, but you can manually move the mirrors with some gentle but firm persuasion.
My mirror is in a LOCKED POSITION from someone hitting it like you shown when taking off the glass at the beginning of the video. How can I unstick it to move it back to regular position ? Please help. Thanks
Australia. I don't recall the exact number, perhaps a T10, they are fairly small - but in general just try each bit in your Torx set till you get the right fit.
Unfortunately this actually doesn’t work/apply for the a8 (2011-2017) The a8 d4 is a two piece shell that has a completely different mounting situation:(
Great video, apart from the background music. Why do people think that a video made to watch and listen to the narrator, needs bloody annoying background rubbish.
