You need to remove the black triangle as circled in red below, I think it unclips from memory.
And then the bolt (No. 7) will undo and allow the complete assembly to be removed.
I know this is ancient, but just to add in for archives sake, when removing/replacing the whole mirror unit, you have to take the door cards off or, as I done, cut and mend the wire to the mirror as the plug cant fit through the mirror housing.
Hi
I have an Audi A4 and it needs a new wing mirror which I have bought (Full electric mirror)
You said it needs the door panel removing also. Do you have instructions on how to carry this out, including renewing the wing mirror.
Thanks
As I posted, I cut the wire rather than taking off the door panel.
Cut the wires you bodgers just take the door panel off takes 2 mins......and then another 2 mins to plug it in...

Hey guys you can see on the above pic from James the two connectors for the heated mirror part then there is another wire that comes out the same place and has a connector on it but doesnt connect to anything, does anyone know what this wire is for?
I understand but I dont know what that spare connector that is within the wing mirror housing is for thats what Im asking?
As for you your going to have to take the door panel off its not a hard job there are plenty of write ups on here about it, or look at his for the door removal to access the window winder mechanism DIY: B6 A4 Window Regulator & Motor Replacement
No its not the wire for that fella if you look at the pic there are three so called wires coming out,
top one is power for electric motor, middle one is the random connector i am on about then the bottom wire splits into the two heated mirror connectors....
ps the door panel should be similar in terms of hidden screws just look for obvious trims that look like they can be removed, you've got a b5 then not a b6 A4?...you may not have the wire im on about above?!
Wait, wait, you were talking about a 1998 A4? That explains some of the confusion.
Erm, just that the 1998 model is a B5, but this is the B6 forum. the cars are quite different, so the best info you could get would be from the B5 forum otherwise you could be led down a wrong path, luckily the B5 forums are very useful and technical.
Fella its simple as the styles change the model number changes they are all A4s but yours is a B5 version ours are all B6's then there is the B7 and the current model is a B8.........and so on
