In today's video, you will learn how to remove the glass from the external rear-view mirror of an Audi A1. First, equip yourself with plastic levers to help remove the glass: then pry on the mirror to unclip it; if the glass is broken, take care when unclipping it as it may shatter in your hands.

Therefore, wear protective gloves before performing the operation.

Behind the glass, there is an electrical connector that you will need to disconnect: replace the mirror glass with the new one and reattach everything!
