Default How to replace passenger side mirror housing?

Short story is: a tractor trailer hit my mirror going down the highway at 75 mph. It could have been way worse but aside from some buffing and replacing the mirror. That is all I need to do. Does anyone have any experience with this? Not many videos on this out there. I'm looking for a parts list of what I need and hopefully be able to get it pre-painted. I "could" get away with reusing the housing as it has some scratches I might be able to buff out but want to see the $$$ on all new parts first. Any help would be appreciated.


2015 Q5 TDI Premium plus

Regards

Bernie

I don’t have any Gen II 2018+ information, but most likely you would need to remove the door panel to remove the mirror housing.
