Description

Audi wing mirror covers, also known as door mirror covers or side mirror housings, are the plastic or metal shells that house and protect the delicate components of your car’s side mirrors. They play a crucial role in both aesthetics and functionality:

Function:

• Protection: The primary function of the wing mirror cover is to shield the mirror glass, electrical components, and internal mechanisms from external elements like rain, snow, dust, and debris. This helps ensure proper mirror operation and prevents damage from harsh weather conditions.

• Aerodynamics: In some cases, the wing mirror cover can contribute to a car’s overall aerodynamic efficiency by helping to streamline airflow around the mirrors. This can lead to slightly improved fuel economy and reduced wind noise.

Design:

• Aesthetics: Wing mirror covers are a key design element of any car, and Audi models are known for their sleek and stylish designs. The covers typically blend seamlessly with the overall lines of the car, contributing to its aesthetic appeal.

• Material: Wing mirror covers are usually made of plastic, although some high-end models may use metal or carbon fiber for a more premium look and feel.
• Color: They typically come in the same color as the car’s body paint, but some models offer contrasting colors or even textured finishes for a more personalized touch.

Additional features:

• Integrated turn signals: Some wing mirror covers incorporate turn signal indicators for better visibility and a more streamlined look.

• Heated mirrors: In cold climates, heated mirrors can be integrated into the covers to melt frost and ice, ensuring clear visibility even in winter.
• Memory settings: On some models, the wing mirror covers can be linked to the car’s memory settings, so they automatically adjust to the driver’s preferred position when the car is unlocked.

Replacement:

Wing mirror covers are relatively durable, but they can get damaged over time due to accidents, hail, or wear and tear. If your wing mirror cover is damaged, it’s important to replace it promptly to protect the underlying components and maintain the car’s aesthetics.
