Default cracked vinyl on the backside of drivers door armrest

I am trying to get this covered under warranty. My dealer is telling me that the interior is only covered for one year and I am past that.
I have seen other threads that have noticed that, at the rear of the drivers door, behind the armrest, there is a crack in the vinyl.
Please respond if you have had this problem and if it was covered on warranty.

Default Yes, manufacturer defect, covered under warranty

Caused by a weak part due to the two buttons on the side of the door. When you close the door you put pressure on the panel and it cracks in that weak point.

Dealer had an Audi rep. look at it and replaced it under warranty.

Has the defect been fixed for the C6, or is the replacement just going to crack as well eventually

From what I have seen, they just changed it out for the exact same part.

Brilliant - it will get them out of the warranty period!
