Any under-engineered area on the B8 so far?

interior buttons....
A couple of the buttons on my interior appear to be pretty cheaply made. My right rear passenger window switch pushed down into the door just randomly one day when no extreme pressure was applied to it. And the lock button on my drivers door falls off if i push it in the bottom corner. Anyone else experience anything like this?

Buttons on the B8?
I had some issues with button quality on my B7 - the window buttons were especially flimsy and no passenger could ever figure out how to work them...the buttons to adjust temperature would get stuck a lot...but everything has been improved on the B8 I couldn't imagine having any problems just based on the quality of everything.

Yes... Removed cool cubby-hole for A4 manuals and stuff...
Also, gas cap is stupid. It used to be a button that popped it open from inside. Now you press the outer panel in and then it pops up.
Let's see, what else... I like the way the B7's did the high beam lights. In the B8's, you press the turn signal stock forward and they click on, but the stalk returns back to the original position. It took me a while to get used to the B7's style where it would stay positioned forward, but I now like it better because it is easy to remember that you have your brights on if you go to turn on a turn signal, and that helps to remind you turn them off.
The tools for changing a spare tire are now in a dumb location. On the B7, you could easily get to the tools. On the B8, you have to remove the spare tire to reveal the tools necessary for changing a tire. If your putting on snow tires and don't need the spare, it's a little bit of a pain.
Things I do like... Fog lights are now a button you push (both front and back) instead of turning *** and then pulling. I like the location of the volume control. Seating position over all feels better.

Coin pocket/holder/drawer
A designated coin drawer would've been nice. The slots next to the shifter are useful when coming up a toll but to keep a few $$ worth of change in a dedicated drawer would helpful.
