[Oli18]

Hi,

These are the steps to follow if wanting to change the mirror covers on your D3 A8/S8.

Thanks,

Oli

Parts needed:
- S8 mirror cases: 4E0 857 507 (left), 4E0 857 508 (right)

Tools needed:
- Plastic tool to take mirror off without damaging the mirrors cases
- T10 Torx screwdriver
- Microfibre towel

Step 1: Remove mirror using a plastic tool that wont damage the paint work. Just place it behind the mirror as per the picture and push it out



Step 2: Wrap the mirror in a microfibre so it can rest against the door without damaging it. You can get away without disconnecting any wires that are connected to the mirror.

Step 3: Undo the 3 highlighted screws using the T10 torx



Step 4: Unclip green connector and take out the swivel mount



Step 5: Undo the 3 black screws (red) and push back the 3 clips (yellow)



Step 6: Carefully slide off the mirror housing.

Step 7: Put on the S8 mirror housing and put back together in reverse order
