type44 rear view mirror repair

[Fred Munro]

You'll love the new A3 then. The entire roof is glass except for a 8" wide
strip at the rear edge. If you get a chip in the first roof section, you
have to remove the windshield to replace it. I can see that working out
really well.....

You got lucky.  During the summer, went to clean the windshield on my
'93 90.  Tried to push the mirror down to clean above it...

CRACK!

Mirror falls off, mounting pad falls off - and takes a silver dollar
sized chunk of windshield glass with it!

Then, a month ago, a walnut falls from a 30ft high tree and shatters
the rear window.

Still need to replace those cracked headlights too... I love the
glass on this car...
