Replacing the Side Mirror Glass

Model: Audi A6 MK 3, C6 - Years 2004-2012
Part: Side mirror

Replacing the side mirror glass is very simple since it is attached to the support only through plastic tabs. It is also easy to find a replacement in the aftermarket. First, tilt the mirror all the way inward and pry the back to detach it, pulling it away enough from its housing to disconnect the defrosting connectors. Next, bring the new mirror close, connect the defrosting connectors, and align the mounting tabs with the support, then press to snap it in place.

How to Remove the Air Vents on an Alfa Romeo 159

This video shows how to remove the air vents on an Alfa Romeo 159. Start by using a plastic trim tool to detach the air vents located in the central dashboard; if you have difficulty, obtain metal hooks (as shown in the video) and insert them into the air vent. Once the two hooks are secured to the edges of the air vent, pull them out with your hands until the vent is removed from its housing. Repeat this procedure for the other air vents present on the car's dashboard. Finally, install the new vents.
