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

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

@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.
