THE TRIM ON BOTH SIDES OF THE FRONT SEATS IS LOOSE AND BROKEN, I AM CONCERNED THAT THE AIRBAG WON'T DEPLOY PROPERLY IF NOT ADDRESSED BY AUDI. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS $2700 TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED AUDI CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY HAVE ADVISED THAT IT IS CUSTOMER PAY DUE TO BEING OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY PERIOD.

pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the
