[s-cars] Frankenmirror - hmm, how about a question, then?

[Jeff LaBombard]

Tobs-

Sounds like a part that one of our parts suppliers with sources in Germany
could just order?

I would appreciate the part numbers, thanks.

Mine have the same ill effects as Eric's from over use.

I had a friend bring mirrors from Germany for me. The passenger mirror
doesn't say "objects in mirror..." and the drivers mirror has a convex
strip on the outside to expand the view area. Kind of a nice upgrade.
Both of my mirrors were delaminate.
I can look at the part #'s if you'd like to know.

Hey Eric,

Both mirrors on my A4 have also delaminated.  With that car it was a 
relatively simple and painless matter of carefully prying the old mirror

out of the housing, and then popping the new mirror on (after attaching 
the defroster lead).  I haven't had to do it for the S4 yet, but I would

think it would be a similarly straight forward procedure.
