C6 Wing Mirror broke , any available or how to change?

Post by rsrodders » Tue May 06, 2014 4:59 pm

Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone can help me, my C6 must of had its drivers wing mirror clipped at some point, because sometimes when you shut the door (and been as heavy as they are) it makes the top Auminium look top half come loose, upon closer inspection i'm pretty sure one of the plastic retaining lugs on the black bottom section of the mirror is missing or broke off. Now without even phoning Audi up and laughing at them down the phone when they say the price for a new one (which i'm sure they wont even sell the bottom section only anyway) does anyone know if anyone has one or where is going to be the best bet to get one from and also does anyone know what is the way of actually getting them off and on in the first place.

Cheers
Clive

Top cap and lower parts are available separately. Bottom cap is fairly cheap at around a fiver.
Speak to your dealer and get it ordered.

Hmm upon closer inspection I now think it's the top cover and a screw that holds it in place, the bracket that is on the screw is broke, you were right it is about £5 for the bottom part, but then they said it was about £350 for the top cover and if I break the mirrored lens that would be another £340 on top. I'm very dubious on taking the lens off now to have a proper look.
