rear windows should go all the way down. I know the reason they can't, but still
Bumper install is stupid.
One time use clamps = fail
should have had a lot of recalls for things like L hose/dipstick tube/failed clusters. etc.

Meh, I used to think the same thing until I turned 40 and the wife hit me with a pair...
...of Maui Jim's as a gift. I'm pretty sure there's a favorable difference over the crappy one's I used for 25 years.
I don't think this style says Douche Bag, but I could be wrong.

if you're **** about symmetry, why is the far right passenger vent's adjustment on the left side?
For the design to be consistent and hold symmetry, with the other adjustment rollers to the outside of the vent, then the far right vent by the pass side window would have its adjustment roller on the right...to the outside of its vent. but, it's not, it's on the left. and, thus not being a mirror image of the other side.
and, OMG, I hate the bumper cover claw things that don't stay in the fender and the overall way of taking off the cover. such a PITA.

Cars are not perfect ...Orig Lotus Europa frt windows don't go all the way down
the door was shorter the glass . WE could go on with the lists on almost any car by any company. We could spend a week alone on the average Ford, Chevy or Chrysler. Why did Audi put a cup holder above the CD player ...see, its too easy. The Camaros of the 80's had cassette players full of pop because of every Big Gulp that was set on the console and slammed into the dash when the car stopped...see? The list could go on and on and on....

Never noticed that one - just went to check
It definitely saved a couple cents, but you'd figure Audi, being the purveyors of well-done interior design, might do the "right thing".
