The Audi side mirror not opening is usually caused by minor mechanical issues. I think the most common problem is rust or insufficient lubrication at the mirror joint getting stuck, especially during rainy weather. Another possibility is a faulty small motor - if used too frequently, the motor shaft may wear out excessively. I've encountered cases where owners reported mirrors freezing shut after the car sat unused for long periods. Additionally, Audi's mirror system design is relatively complex, and occasional gear slippage can also cause problems. When inspecting, first try manually adjusting it slightly - be careful not to use excessive force to avoid damage. If you can't fix it yourself, taking it to a repair shop for disassembly, lubrication or replacing a small component should solve it. To prolong its lifespan, regularly wiping the mirror connection points with a soft cloth can reduce sticking issues.
