    The "clear coat" on the steering wheel has cracked in several places. I don't know if this "clear coat" is really that, or some other kind of coating? Has anyone dealt with this type of issue?

    Front Parking Sensor pushed in - to gain access, front bumper removal is NOT necessary

    On my 2013 QP (model year 2012 carryover) the right-front-outer parking sensor somehow got pushed inwards - and fell down inside the front bumper. I did an online search and from other's experiences it seems that the front bumper must be removed to gain access. Well I'm happy to report that is...

    The driver's side sun visor is drooping on my 2013 QPV. On a hot sunny day, as I went to push the visor into the "up" position I heard a "snap" and that was that. This sounds like a common issue from what I've read. I've read where people have used velcro to hold the visor in the "up"...

    QP - inside doors, what to use for a moisture barrier?

    I had to remove the right-front door panel recently to replace the arm rest. When I had the panel off, I saw pieces of a thick styrofoam sheet here and there, I assume that someone else had been in there before, and had just ripped out the original moisture barrier. Can I use any similar type...

    Accidentally washed key fob - expected replacement cost...?

    Hello SportsMazzer Gang....the key fob to my 2013 QP 4.7 recently went through the washing machine. I can lock & unlock everything manually for now...no problem. But eventually I would like to get it working again. When this happened to my old 2007 Audi Q7 fob, I was actually able to buy...
