Hello Gentlemen
So this is how it goes. When I went to collect my car the left mirror indicator wasn't working so mechanic ordered a new one in and then proceeded to install it. I got told in the process he broke the mirror while removing it so had to install a new mirror too. All good things happen.
Once I acquired the car adjusted the right mirror no probs...adjusted the left and it was so tight at the bottom that it was having trouble going inwards and then loud crack. Long Line across the mirror it broke. upon inspection it seems it was a very tight fit at the bottom inside. Upon inspection i noticed the mechanic hadn't clipped the bottom case on to the top one properly which was causing the issue so opened it all up re aligned the casing, clipped in everything properly, stuck the broke mirror back on and its moving freely and not scraping at the bottom any more but still a little too close for my comfort.
Instead of going back to Audi and asking them to replace it, I wasn't comfortable with seeing the workmanship that I decided to order a matching heated one and install it myself, all is working fine BUT this one seems to have a much bigger gap at the top for some reason compared to my right.. Please see pics. Is yous the same on the left?
Right one
Or could it be the mirror motor is not aligned and installed properly causing this issue?
What's your opinions
