You are honestly suggesting I should drive to the dealer, get a salesman and ask to look inside a Q7 with a beige interior to get the part number when there are probably several folks posting on this site who have a car with the part I am looking for?

What else are car forums for if not to help others with issues like this? There are literally 100's of threads with questions like mine. Your answer is: "take care of it yourself". Thanks for nothing. Fortunately, Jake saw my post and helped me out(which ended up getting his company some business in the process). If everyone replied like you, I would still be spinning my wheels.

you said or implied or i understood as the counterman at the parts dept had to go outside instead you asked here for someone to check. if that is not the case then this is simply a miscommunication.

Just received the parts. They are not the correct item. What I need is the cover which attaches to the metal bar inside the LATCH point(it covers the hole when the LATCH points are not in use). It should only be in 2010/2011 Q7's as I never saw them in the 07-09 loaners I had. Just wanted others to know in case they saw this thread.

No, I wrote I had called the AUDI parts department and the person I spoke with could not identify the part on their computer. They said they would have to go out to the lot and figure out what the part number was. If someone on this forum has a Q7 with the parts I am looking for(very likely since there are many 10/11 owners here), it would be very simple for them to take one off and tell me the part number. It just snaps in place when the LATCH system is not in use to make it look clean and neat. If I was not clear in my previous post, I hope this helps.

After all this back and forth, I received the incorrect parts today....

okay, let me try to field this one since you're having an issue...

the plastic latch surround in the passenger cabin or the plastic latch covers that are in the cargo area?

both of which came with the car for me, if you need the p/n i will get it for you just not sure which part exactly you are referring to.

It is the second row seat. I am going to do what I should have originally. I added a photo of my second row seat. The LATCH point marked with the red arrow has a removable cover(there are 4 of them) to hide the open hole on newer Q7's(it snaps onto the horizontal metal bar). It looks much better IMO and I don't have kinds so never use child seats. I should have just taken the ones from the loaner I had a few months ago....

If you can help Iconoclast, I would appreciate it.

those came with the car for me, not sure if yours are missing or if 3.6 it wasnt standard but i will try to find the p/n... give me a few moments...

Was yours an 07? I have only seen them on the 2010 model loaners I had. Maybe I was jipped from the factory. I can't find any mention of them in the parts sites I have searched. I wish they had a realoem.com site for Audi's. That is the best resource for finding parts on my M roadster since it has diagrams with pictures of all the parts.

Thanks for your efforts. I have been on that site before and never noticed any diagrams. I think part #7 above is actually what was sent to me. It looks like the plastic cup which sits behind the metal bar in the photo. I don't see the part I need on the diagram. I figured maybe they shipped as a unit, but it does not appear to be the case as what was sent did not include the covers.

Thanks again for your help. I guess the search goes on....
