I went threw the car wash yesterday and when I got out of the car to open my sons door I saw the handle sticking way out and the little piece was gone! I called the car wash and the Manager called me back about 10 min. later and said he found the piece. Is that Crazy or what!!! I called my dealer to have them put it back to gather and it will take them a couple hours to do the job.
Has anyones else lost there door handle??

Its one of those washes where there are several stages....
they first spray your car then these long towels drag over the car, next are the fast spinners that wip you car, and last are some jets that spray on waxes and then rinse and dry.
Yep the car wash said they would pay for the fix.

There is a TSB for sticking door handles. Maybe the door handles were stuck, and
the car washes' brushes hit them.
So the Car wash is paying? and you got it in writing?
Anyways, this is why most people have started to avoid the "touch" car washes. In Maine, there is always a long line for all the touchless, but never for the touch.

Yeah it was Q7_EUROPE Aug-06
slightly different circumstances but most lightly just not tightened or torqued at construction.
Your car is Feb 07 you might have expected it to fall off before now, perhaps it was yanked off.
Thats two in two years.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/q7/msgs/4457.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/q7/msgs/4457.phtml</a</li></ul>

use ONLY touchfree from now on. It saves you from future headaches. Here's a story!
A friend of my uncle bought himself a new Acura TL back in the late 90s. Took it to a car wash, a month later, and the "touch" wash, covered the whole car (it was silver), in scratches, and gouged the hell out of the paint.
Even though I was rather young, I still remember the look on his face. Everything needed to be replaced. Glass, everything repainted, new wheels. I think the car got totaled eventually. Don't remember.
