Wing Mirror Glass
Re: Wing Mirror Glass
So I guess most of us are going to the non dimming variant when it needs doing? Both of mine are shot now - both recently & quickly.

Re: Wing Mirror Glass
I couldn’t figure it out either. I removed mine to see what the part number I needed was.

Re: Wing Mirror Glass
I am going for non dimming wing mirrors. I just cannot bring myself to spend £700 to £800 for two pieces of glass that are going to fail sometime down the road.

Re: Wing Mirror Glass
Just ordered my right one which just went copper. I double confirmed the Part# with them before purchasing but it looks odd in the picture. Will let you know how it turns out. Cost a cool €280 
Also better be quick, I just noticed:
"With effect from February 1st, 2023, the prices for Audi Tradition spare parts will be increased by 6 %.
We would like to thank all customers and wish you a happy new year!"
I guess the margins are so low, they just had to increase prices due to inflation
... -_-

Re: Wing Mirror Glass
Huh. Same mirror as mine but for VIN > 4B-3-902 001. I wonder what the difference is.

Re: Wing Mirror Glass
Maybe, but then it should have been 250 then
... let's wait to see how much customs will charge me.No clue mate. I was as surprised as you were. I was convinced it was the G and almost pulled the trigger but then I decided to check just in case.
Re: Wing Mirror Glass
I bet it's something silly like a slightly different electrical connector.

Hope so, going by the images on audi tradition, G looks right and BE doesn't but then again:Shoppinit wrote:I bet it's something silly like a slightly different electrical connector.

Re: Wing Mirror Glass
Mmmnm. How does one remove the glass? Clearly I need to check the part numbers.

Re: Wing Mirror Glass
I used one of those plastic trim removal tools.
Prised it out from top and bottom.
Be ready to catch the mirror as it pops out.
Better still keep one hand over it while the other hand does the levering.
Just positioned the replacement mirror and pushed it back in after connecting the electrical plugs.
