Default Rear door window corner thingys

Hi, I'm wanting to replace the part in the image attached. I don't know what there called and searched everywhere. Does anyone know how they are removed and refitted and where to get any?

They are for some reason really badly marked on mine.

A picture is worth a thousand words... I know it's in Russian, but very useful

Are there removal instructions in Elsa for this part? I'm out at the mo so can't check. Best to double check before following that Russian how to guide.

Thanks for the part numbers and Russian link. It does look very involved!
I'm not sure if I would end up in a big mess doing it but they irritate me when the rest of the car is in such good condition.

Hi,

I think this may involve taking the whole door apart so that you can get the entire upper section seperated from the lower body panel. I have also considered it in the past but the job seemed so big it always comes lower down the list of things.

If you do do it, it would be great if you wrote a how-to

Oli

Had these replaced both on my current and prior car by audi. They said that techically it was not covered by the audi 'comprehensive' used approved warentee but they would do it as "good will". I should hope so too on what was a 4 year old car at the time....

I also had these done under warranty by Audi on my old D3. From memory, the car was about 7/8 years old at the time. The paint had bubbled around the outer edges of the "triangle". No harm in trying to get Audi to sort it, especially if you have a main dealer service history. It does appear to be a common issue on most D3's.

Yeah I think I might well give this a go and write it up for everyone. Photos n all. Here's to hoping it goes well. 😉
I'll update this feed when done or when knackered door. 😂 prob be a month or 2.
