Audi Mirrors diagram for A4 Quattro, A4, S4

Mirror housings safeguard your mirror's internal components, like the glass, motor, and wiring, from impact and weather.

• Cracked or Broken Casing: Visible damage compromises protection and can lead to a loose or vibrating mirror.
• Loose or Detached Mirror: A damaged housing can prevent secure mounting, causing vibration, misalignment, or detachment.
• Weather Damage: Degradation from elements like UV can weaken the housing.
• Malfunctioning Folding Mechanism: Housing damage can interfere with power-folding mirror operation.

About Genuine Audi

The original parts used by Audi to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine Audi” brand. Manufactured under the direction of Audi, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are available exclusively through the Audi Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Audi are not necessarily manufactured by Audi. No cause for concern, as Audi designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Audi for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Audi parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of an Audi logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
