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!
Bro, how did you not have any issues on those top 2 tabs that hold the cap to the mechanism? I've ordered 3 sets. 2 from Amazon and 1 from ebay and they never sit right. The holes don't line up to those 2 top tabs.
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
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
@audimods better at drag racing, and easier to work on. I actually own one of these a6 c7 3.0sc and it's been the most unreliable piece of crap I've ever owned. Cats blowing out, overheating issues, cwa50 magically stops working, blown sc coolant brick etc etc. I like to mod vehicles which comes with breaking stuff and wear and tear but these are straight up junk. If you like doing track racing around corners and stuff then I'd say it's good but for actually drag racing yea absolutely way too slow even when modded highly.
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.
Thankyou. Was struggling to get the cover back on until I watched this video. Life saver 🙌
Thanks Ben!
I found this video to be extremely helpful, Thank you
You're very welcome!
Thanks for this video - helped me to replace the wing mirror indicator on my A6 C7 Avant 2016 after it got broken in a tight squeeze!
Great, thanks for watching Tom.
Thanks for the video, helped me replace broken mirror and integral indicator on a 2013 A6
Glad it helped

Really helpful, thanks and greetings from Germany👍 Worked for A6 4G too.
Great 👍
Great walk through thanks for the help
No problem 👍
Thank you very much! very good instructions in detail!
No problem!
hey man is this similar to a 2013 audi a4 ? need to replace housing like you did
They aren't the same, but I am sure it would be a similar process. I don't own an A4 myself so I cannot say for sure.

THANK YOU!! I a A8L S S-LINE. was thinking I had to take the whole body off. This will be an EASY fix. THANK YOU THANK YOU
Happy to help.
Extremely helpful! Thanks
A pleasure!
Great video, very helpful. But does anyone know where i can buy a replacement LED light and mirror glas? T.I.A Lewis
Good luck with your search for parts.
Awesome how to sir! Love the detailed info! Do you have a link on where you bought the CF side mirrors? Thanks!
It was from www.aliexpress.com/
Thank you for the instructions! Can he bottom plastic piece also be replaced?
Yes, a few more screws and it also comes out.

No video on that one sorry Greg.
Most helpful tutorial..thank you
You're welcome!
Hey buddy
Please, you disconnect 3 wires from mirror glass
2 of them are heating and third connector is dimming?
I gather it is for defrost and dimming, yes.
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
Maybe time to take it to a professional, sorry to hear you are having issues.

Thank you for the knowledge Boss.
Thanks Devell.
How do I remove the bottom cap? Mine came as a 2 piece the top cap and bottom
Anyone have experience replacing the mirror motor (folding type mirrior)? Looks like from vid you can get right to it.. Have '16 A6. Thanks
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:(
Ah, sorry.
Take your time to remove the mirror. I cracked mine, I guess 7 years of bad luck now 😂
Oh no, sorry to hear!
Very interesting and useful since i have to change mine
Glad it was helpful!
Thank You, excellent step by step
Thanks!
Am I able to use a6 turn signal lights to an a7?!
For C7, no.
I just done this myself, came to youtube to see if there was an easier way to do it, turns out there is not. What an awkward fiddly bit of plastic
It does seem more complex than necessary.
I just wrapped mine with the exact looking carbon fiber
Nice.
Unfortunately did not worked with me
Sorry to hear. :-(

Sorry about that
Mate U forgot to plug in 2nd cable to the mirror glass 😉
Or... did I?
This is why you get a american car
Why? Do they come with guns and diabetes?

The music on this video makes me want to throw up.
Ok, there is a volume control you could just turn it down.
100 videos but none for the Audi q5 2010 model 🫠
Sorry.
Are you from NZ? Also do you know what size corx screw driver is required?
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.
