<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/38652/a4_mirror_01.jpg"></center><p>I just had a windshield replaced on my wife's '99 A4 Avant. Wrong size glass, and they put the rear view mirror back on pretty low. Kind of an awkward request... But can someone please verify the STOCK dimension from the mirror mount center to the top of the molding. They are coming back with the new glass, and I want them to fix this as well. TIA.

6 inches from the edge of the roof sheet metal to the CENTER of the mirror mount. It is 5 and 5/8ths from where the glass starts (actually see glass, not talking about black molding (edge of molding/glass)) to the CENTER of the mirror.

Even if my mirror mounting piece is larger for whatever reason (dimming aspect), I measured to the center, so just do it at the same distance to center. (Note: My windshield has been replaced but the plastic part which contains the dimming wires is hard plastic and maintains a consistent distance b/n mirror and roof liner.)

I guess I should have measured it on my C5 A6 before posting :/

that sucks, my PPG windshield had a marker where the mirror was to be glued on.

completely different. Either way, hope that helps some.

Self-dimming mirror on B5 an C5 is the same... Hence my thought.

I'll see if they can get a PPG windshield than... Thanks.

Ah, good call. I didn't know that. Looks like you answered own question
