What Does the APDTY 67930 Mirror Glass Replace?
The APDTY 67930 is a replacement glass assembly for the right (passenger) side exterior mirror on specific Audi models. It addresses the common problem of cracked, broken, or missing mirror glass caused by impacts, road debris, vandalism, or weather damage. Rather than replacing the entire mirror housing—an expensive repair—this glass assembly restores full mirror functionality at significantly lower cost.
This assembly includes:
- Mirror glass element with factory curvature for accurate reflection
- Integrated plastic backing plate for secure mounting
- Electrical connectors for power-heated mirror function
The heated function defrosts ice and clears condensation in cold weather, maintaining visibility during winter driving conditions. This part is designed for mirrors without puddle lamps (ground illumination) and without electrochromatic dimming (auto-dimming feature).
Which Audi Models Are Compatible With Part Number 67930?
Based on verified fitment data, the APDTY 67930 is compatible with the following Audi vehicles equipped with power-heated mirrors without puddle lamps or electrochromatic features:
| Model | Years | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Audi S6 | 2009-2011 | Right side, heated, power |
| Audi A6 | 2009-2011 | Right side, heated, power |
| Audi A6 Quattro | 2009-2011 | Right side, heated, power |
| Audi A5 Quattro | 2009 | Right side, heated, power |
| Audi A3 | 2009-2010 | Right side, heated, power |
Important: Mirror configurations vary by trim level, production date, and original equipment. Always verify compatibility using the live fitment chart on the product page before ordering. Do not rely solely on year and model—check your existing mirror features to confirm match.
What Are the Symptoms of Broken or Damaged Mirror Glass?
Damaged side view mirror glass presents obvious visibility and safety concerns. Common symptoms include:
- Cracked or shattered glass – Impact damage from road debris, parking lot contact, or vandalism creates fractures that distort reflection
- Missing glass – Glass detached completely from backing plate, leaving only the empty mirror housing
- Discolored or hazy coating – Delamination of mirror backing causes dark spots or cloudy areas that obscure visibility
- Non-functional heating – If mirror won't defrost or clear condensation, the heating element may be damaged (though electrical issues should also be diagnosed)
- Loose or rattling glass – Adhesive failure or broken clips allow glass to vibrate or shift in the housing
Driving with damaged mirror glass is unsafe and may violate state vehicle equipment laws. Reduced visibility during lane changes significantly increases accident risk, particularly on highways and in heavy traffic.

How to Install Replacement Side View Mirror Glass
Replacing side view mirror glass is a straightforward repair that most DIYers can complete in 15-30 minutes with basic tools. Note: Installation procedures vary by mirror design; consult a vehicle-specific repair manual for detailed instructions.
General installation steps:
- Disconnect power – If your mirror is heated, disconnect the vehicle battery or unplug the mirror electrical connector to prevent shorts
- Remove old glass – Depending on design, you may need to carefully pry the glass away from clips, release retaining tabs, or disconnect heating element wires. Some mirrors use adhesive backing
- Clean the backing plate – Remove any old adhesive, glass fragments, or debris from the mirror housing mounting surface
- Connect electrical (if applicable) – Attach the heating element connector to the vehicle harness. Ensure secure connection
- Install new glass – Align the plastic backing plate with mounting clips or tabs in the mirror housing. Press firmly until the glass clicks into place or adhesive bonds securely
- Test operation – Reconnect battery and test heated mirror function. Verify glass is secure and properly aligned
Safety precautions: Wear gloves and safety glasses when handling broken glass. Dispose of old mirror glass carefully to avoid cuts. Avoid over-tightening clips or applying excessive force, which may crack the new glass.
Why Replace Just the Glass Instead of the Entire Mirror Assembly?
When only the mirror glass is damaged—not the housing, motor, or mounting bracket—replacing just the glass offers significant advantages:
- Cost savings – Mirror glass assemblies cost a fraction of complete mirror assemblies, which include housing, motors, brackets, and wiring
- Faster repair – Glass replacement takes 15-30 minutes versus 1-2 hours for full mirror assembly removal and installation
- Preserves OE components – If your mirror motor, adjustment mechanism, and housing are functioning correctly, there's no reason to replace them
- No paint matching – Complete mirror assemblies often require paint to match vehicle color; glass-only replacement avoids this step
- Less labor – Mirror assemblies may require door panel removal and complex wire routing; glass replacement is simpler
If the mirror housing is cracked, the adjustment motor is non-functional, or mounting brackets are damaged, a complete mirror assembly replacement is necessary. However, for glass-only damage, the APDTY 67930 provides an economical, effective repair solution.
