Straightened the pin up this morning. Everything looks really straight (90 deg) and even (from top down). Shifter sits completely down with ease, but the pin still stays stuck in the "in" position.
We have tried everything, filing, trying to check it with some sort of indicator. Tried marking it, markered it dark and applied talc, applied lubricant grease... All in an attempt to see where that damn pin is hitting heavy when pressed.
Thanks goodness we fabricated a device to pop that shift pin back out because I've had to use it almost 10 times.
So at this point it's still stuck in place. Going to work on it some more in a bit.
I think it's hitting on the top, but I really have no idea. I may be driving around with my shifter ways pressed in.
Really tough mod.

Where did you buy your S-Line door sills?

BKS Tuning. Their website is a cluster, but the sills fit the Q5 and are OEM.
All the sills are actually the same. The molded plastic on the inside has all the part numbers it could be, depending on the aluminum insert.
Think the only place that gets these is overseas.
