How do you pop out side side mirror for replacement?
I recently purchased a '99 A6 Avant and the passenger side heated mirror is discolored and cracked. The seller was kind enough to purchase a replacement mirror and I am awaiting its arrival. In the meantime, I am not sure how to remove the old mirror and pop in the new. I think it is probably a simple procedure. Does anyone have any information on this? A picture would be great.

Get a platic scraper from Home Depot
In the paint department, about $1.
Then roll the top of your mirror all the way out and stick the paint scraper in. If it doesn't pop out, then use a long, thin screwdriver and pop the top plastic piece.

Wait until you have the new mirror so you can see how it attaches (with little finger clips) and you'll see what I'm talking about.
There's a bunch more pictures and a more complete procedure below for installing mirror caps.<ul><li><a href="http://www.audipages.com/upgrades/chromemirrorold.html">How to remove and install mirrors here</a></li></ul>
