Consumer Description

SUNGLASSES HOLDER WILL NOT STAY CLOSED AND FALLS DOWN BLOCKING MY REARVIEW MIRROR. TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO CLOSE IT AND IT WILL NOT CLOSE. I CANNOT SEE CLEARLY OUT OF MY REARVIEW MIRROR WHICH IS HAZARDOUS TO MY DRIVING WHEN TRYING TO SWITCH LANES AND/OR TELL HOW CLOSE SOMEONE IS TO MY BUMPER TO PREVENT MY CAR FROM BEING REAR ENDED. I'M WORRIED THAT AN ACCIDENT MAY HAPPEN DUE TO THIS ISSUE. I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND APPARENTLY OTHER AUDI DRIVERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE ACCORDING TO ONE AUDI SERVICE FORUM (HTTPS://WWW.AUDIWORLD.COM/FORUMS/Q5-SQ5-MKI-8R-DISCUSSION-129/SUNGLASS-HOLDER-NOT-STAYING-UP-SRSLY-2856965/). THIS ALSO APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE VOLKSWAGON BRANDED CARS.
