Mirror Caps

[ProValet]

Are there any tricks to installing a set of inpro mirror caps? Do they make different models? I thought the only difference is stubby or non stubby?

[Squarrl]

mine didnt fit very well. They make them for stubby and non stubby

[Squarrl]

and i dont use them because they didnt fit perfectly. I wouldnt waste money on them

Here is the situation, I was sold a new set of mirror caps that was suppose to fit my A6. When I got them in the mail they were for a stubby pass mirror so they wouldn't fit.

Fast forward, I sold them to a local A4 driver with stubby mirros but he is having fitment problems.

Any suggestions?

Thx

that guy is me...

id love to get them working but they honestly do not fit well at all....ill take the stock yellows off tomorrow and put these "on" to take some pictures tomorrow

the bottom plastic cup does not line up AT ALL , im talking about half inch gaps and different design/shape...theres only one screw in the inside instead of 2 or 3 depending on the sides...and the mirrors are proportionally smaller inside the new covers

i dont get it, because ive heard of people loving the in.pro sets

is this set i have not for a 98 a4? i dont get it .....help us out guys!

i took a dremol to remove extra plastic in channels to make it fit better, but they never fit like oem. I then drove on highway and they whissled so took tehm off and boxed them. If you want them pm me and i am sure we can figure something out. They are the post 99.5 ones I have.

strange...the ones i have need MORE plastic

i had no problems taking old ones off and putting new ones on, if you cant do it like that, i suggest take the whole mirror assembly off the car and assemble it that way

huh? did you read what were talking about? fitment issues ---- not how to fit

[Squarrl]

Its obvious that they are just dont have great quality control... I want oem but they are pricey :(

um for your reference they use oem mirror caps and just plate them with chrome. so if your an idiot and don't know how to put them on then its your fault

[a4fann]

mine fit fine

sorry youre getting bent out of shape for nothing...its cool though tough guy


these are not the same as oem..they do not fit like it at all...they are physically larger and have different shapes cut out of the bottom

[EOD-5]

does this help you understand what im talking about? they DONT FIT

look at the gap on the bottom and fronts, where the black plastic SHOULD line up...it doesnt, not close at all

[a4fann]

^Must of got a bad batch, Mine fit perfectly. Putting them on carefully is key.

[auto_euroticaA4]

maybe they're bootlegs and you got ripped off..chrome caps look tacky anyway

[EOD-5]

i like them....the style is stock on s4...theyre nice

these dont fit tho

[ProValet]

Maybe this guy can shed a little light on the problem

he said they were for an a6, so yea i dont think they will your a4.

[kjr7888]

can you get the matte silver ones for a b5? i havent been able to find any...

[Overboostin]

are the ones you guys are talking about inpro's?

[ProValet]

He said he had an early A6 and they didn't fit and I have a late A6 thry didn't fit....so what in the F@CK do they fit? The paper work he sent says the fit early A4s

I'm hoping to get a spare set of mirrors tomorrow and check them out again.

Overboostin, yes they are inpro.

yeah hey bob i have an idea for tomorrow....lets check the drivers side mirrors on your a6 compared to the inpro one

maybeeee just mayyyyybeeee they are really only designed for the a6...maybe the a6 is slightly different, i do know the early a6 did have stub mirror....though yours has regular size

well figure it out tomorrow i think, gimme a call when you are done with work and we can meet up

Weird. I have only heard good things from the s4 guys who run them.

[endlesswinterco]

have the inpro stubby ones for my a4, no problems in fitment, they fit like a glove. interesting.

[EOD-5]

yeah the only thing i can think of is that whoever sold these to bob sold him another kind, inside an inpro box.

cause these def dont work

[Davect06607]

Wheres a good place to pick these inpros up?

[Overboostin]

you can find them on ebay

[20A4Audi1.8t01]

the ebay seller has discontinued these I know because I placed and order and got an email saying they werent supposed to be relisted and werent available anymore so I got a refund and found some on ECS Tuning.

[generik777]

I have the InPro mirrors on my car and they fit with no problem whatsoever. Just to let you know though. If yours are fitting wrong maybe you have the wrong set, There are different sets for the facelift A4's and pre-facelift A4's. The reason for this is not just because of the stubby mirror but also because the mirrors are completely shaped differently and not the same form. The frist picture below is of a pre-facelift mirror, See how the bottom plate is curved. The second picture is of a facelist style mirror, Notice the plate has a more straight edge. The other difference is that the mirror glass itlsef has a different shape in the facelift A4's so the mirror housing is also shaped differently to accommodate it.

Pre-facelift

Facelift

yeah, these are for the 99.5+ ... but dont et it because it has a stubby too, which tye didnt have

just weirrrd
