You pretty much nailed it. Fingers as close to the middle of the mirror as you can so you don't crack it. Video just in case you want reference material:Dumb ass question before I break something
I'm changing the mirrors to the Euro mirrors, both are heated with blind spot.
IIRC from my MkV days, you just:
- Point the mirrors as far outwards as possible
- Put your fingers in the side closest to the door as far as you can and pull away from the mirror caps.
- Remove wires
- Reinstall wires on new mirror
- Line up the circle on the back of the mirror with the circle in the housing and press from the center
Did I miss anything? Anything to make it easier?
See, I did get it wrong. I remembered pointing the mirrors outward, but here they point them inwards.You pretty much nailed it. Fingers as close to the middle of the mirror as you can so you don't crack it. Video just in case you want reference material:
Depends on the yearIt was debated here a while back but I never saw the resolution.
vw502 5w40 in a mk7.5 yay or nay
I have a 2020. Pretty sure the clearances didn’t change. Why can’t I run the 5w40?Depends on the year

Which is the vw502? I thought it was 5w40My 18 SE specified 502 but not that weight.
5 weight does ok. It would probably be about -5f before the advantages of running 0 weight become obviousYou can. But in Colorado in the winter I wouldn't.
I think the 502 is available in different weights. 502 is a specification for additives.Which is the vw502? I thought it was 5w40
So what spec is the 5w40 then?I think the 502 is available in different weights. 502 is a specification for additives.
I thought the 502 spec was available in different weights. Maybe I'm wrong. Actually I use the weight I think is best for Phoenix. 10w30 in the winter and 10w40 in the summer. And I buy oil from a company called Cerma and I don't even know if it is 502 spec. Must be okay though since I've got 117K miles on my 18 SE.So what spec is the 5w40 then?
