Default help with installing carbon fiber mirror cap.
Hi just receive my OEM carbon fiber mirror caps today. Anyone knows how to install it? I have seen videos on A3,A4 but haven’t seen it video on SQ5.

Its almost exactly the same as the MK 1 so find a DIY on here or Audizine.

I did mine a while back...pretty simple swap.

I've never done them on a Q5.....but here is a procedure on this page.....I usually use a heat gun and gently blow some warm air on the glass to warm the plastic behind the mirror first.
