Purpose and function in the vehicle

The presented mirror base is designed for installation on the front left door of Audi Q5 and SQ5 models of the FY generation. As a structural component, it is responsible for:

• a stable connection between the mirror and the door panel,
• proper guidance of the electric adjustment mechanism,
• maintaining the correct geometry and angle of the mirror relative to the bodywork.

Thanks to its dedicated design for a specific side of the vehicle, compatibility with the factory body line and the driver's field of view ergonomics is maintained.

Construction, color, and fitment

The mirror base carrier is prepared for the installation of other mirror assembly components (housing, glass, turn signal – if present in the specific vehicle configuration). The design is intended to work with electric controls, allowing for convenient adjustment from the cabin.

The Daytona Grey Pearl Effect - Z7S color is a distinctive pearlescent shade of grey used in the Audi range, which allows for an aesthetic match of the component to the factory body paint. As a result, the mirror base integrates well with the side line of the vehicle, reducing the need for additional paint work when the correct configuration is selected.

Benefits of using an original mirror base

Using an original mirror base for the Audi Q5 / SQ5 FY provides a number of practical benefits:

• Precise fitment with the door and other mirror components, without the need for modifications.
• Compatibility with the factory electrical system, which facilitates installation and reduces the risk of adjustment issues.
• Visual consistency thanks to the correct pearlescent paint shade, matched to the Audi palette.
• Possibility of use as a component for post-accident repairs or replacement of a damaged mirror base.

This solution is particularly beneficial for repairs where maintaining factory build quality and the correct mirror alignment relative to the body is crucial.

Condition of the component and use in service practice

The offered mirror base comes from the External Mirrors category and is intended for re-installation in a vehicle after appropriate service verification. It is suitable for both routine repairs and the reconstruction of the side body section after a collision, when it is necessary to replace a damaged mirror body while maintaining the original specification.

The component can be used as a spare part in professional body and paint shops, services specializing in the Audi brand, and by users independently assembling a mirror set based on original components.
