Hi All,

Anyone bought the running boards and tried to install them? how difficult is it?

thanks.

A few guys have done this on the vwaudiforum. I think the OEM ones were fitted by a dealer and took a good few hours to fit.

Also can't be fitted with all wheel steering.

I'm interested in this as well.

I called a couple garages and they told me installing running boards typically takes an hr. or so expect ~$100 for install, varies depending on car and board model obviously. That sounds about right but then I called the Audi dealer:
They told me about 14 hrs. to install ~$1400 labor costs alone.

They said there was a lot of cutting involved.

I'm unlikely to get OEM ones because of the cost but I found this note interesting:

So I have no idea if it was a newer or older model that took so long and the fact that the trailer hitch plays in its uh....interesting. The air suspension I could see, but no note about that.

If anyone can give more definitive info I'd appreciate it.
