What Does the APDTY 67939 Mirror Glass Replace?
The APDTY 67939 is a replacement mirror glass insert for the left (driver-side) exterior mirror on select 2009–2011 Audi vehicles. Unlike a complete mirror assembly, this part replaces only the reflective glass pane and its integrated heating element, making it a cost-effective repair when the mirror housing and adjustment motors remain functional.
This glass is designed to replace OEM Audi part number 8T0857535C. It is intended for mirrors equipped with:
- Power adjustment
- Heating element (defrost wire grid)
- Non-electrochromatic (standard glass, not auto-dimming)
- No puddle lamp cutout
If your mirror has auto-dimming or puddle lamp features, verify compatibility carefully before ordering. Always check the live fitment chart on the product page to confirm your exact vehicle configuration.
Which Audi Models Are Compatible with Part 67939?
According to verified product data, the APDTY 67939 left driver-side heated mirror glass is compatible with the following Audi models and years:
| Year(s) | Model | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 2009–2011 | Audi A6 | Heated, non-auto-dim, no puddle lamp |
| 2009–2011 | Audi A6 Quattro | Heated, non-auto-dim, no puddle lamp |
| 2009–2011 | Audi S6 | Heated, non-auto-dim, no puddle lamp |
| 2009 | Audi A5 Quattro | Heated, non-auto-dim, no puddle lamp |
| 2009–2010 | Audi A3 | Heated, non-auto-dim, no puddle lamp |
Important: Fitment depends on your vehicle's original mirror configuration. Audi offered multiple mirror options within the same model year. Use the compatibility chart on the APDTY product page to verify fitment for your specific VIN before purchase.
What Are the Symptoms of a Broken or Failed Mirror Glass?
Mirror glass replacement becomes necessary when the reflective surface is damaged or the heating element fails. Common symptoms include:
- Cracked, chipped, or shattered glass from road debris, parking mishaps, or impact
- Persistent fogging or icing that does not clear when the defrost is activated, indicating a broken heating element
- Discoloration or delamination of the mirror coating, causing blurred or distorted reflection
- Glass detachment from the backing plate due to adhesive failure or vibration
If the mirror housing, adjustment motor, or wiring harness is damaged, you may need a complete mirror assembly instead of just the glass insert. Inspect the entire mirror unit before ordering parts.

How to Install the Mirror Glass (General Overview)
Replacing side view mirror glass is a straightforward task for most DIY mechanics, though care is required to avoid breaking the new glass or damaging the mirror housing. General steps include:
- Disconnect the battery or disable mirror heating to prevent accidental electrical contact.
- Remove the old glass. Depending on your mirror design, the glass may be held by clips, adhesive, or a backing plate. Gently pry from the outer edge using a plastic trim tool. Some mirrors require heating the adhesive with a heat gun.
- Disconnect the heating element connector if accessible from behind the glass.
- Clean the mounting surface on the mirror housing to remove old adhesive or debris.
- Connect the heating element on the new glass to the wiring harness (if applicable).
- Secure the new glass by pressing firmly into the mounting clips or applying fresh automotive mirror adhesive if needed.
- Reconnect the battery and test mirror adjustment and heating function.
Safety tip: Wear gloves and eye protection when handling broken glass. If the mirror housing is cracked or the adjustment mechanism is damaged, consider replacing the entire mirror assembly.

Frequently asked questions
Does the APDTY 67939 fit the right (passenger) side mirror?
No. The APDTY 67939 is designed exclusively for the left (driver-side) mirror. Check APDTY's catalog for a corresponding right-side part if needed.
Will this glass work if my Audi has auto-dimming mirrors?
No. This glass is for non-electrochromatic (non-auto-dimming) mirrors only. Installing it on an auto-dimming mirror will disable that feature. Verify your mirror type before ordering.
Is the heating element included and pre-wired?
Yes. The APDTY 67939 includes the integrated heating element on the back of the glass. You will need to connect it to your vehicle's existing mirror heater wiring during installation.
Can I install this mirror glass myself, or do I need a shop?
Most DIYers with basic hand tools can replace mirror glass in 15–30 minutes. The job requires careful handling to avoid breaking the new glass, but no specialized equipment is needed. If you're uncomfortable working with small clips or adhesive, a body shop can install it quickly.
