Default Sorting Trim above the high level brake light

I've never seen this on any other A8, yet the way the cloth is wrinkled looks like it was done at the factory that way, but I fail to see how anyone would have accepted a car with it like that.....

Anyway, having blatenly stolen one of Neils photos of my car from the Open day this year, the wrinkly cloth above the high level brake light is really quite visibile:



The removal is really easy. It just levers up at the front, and then slips out horizontally. Heres a photo of the underside to show the clips which makes it easier to understand:



Here is a closer view of the rippled cloth once removed:





I was looking for something thin, yet firm that I could use to push this material back into place against the quite strong mesh that surrounded it, and the radio removal tools came to the rescue again as having the perfect profile:



So after a few minutes, one side is looking pretty well perfect again:





The other side was worse, and I decided pulling it out to start that corner again was easiest:



But again, gentle needing of the cloth with the radio key into the slot worked perfectly:



Another niggle all sorted
