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.

Issue with the windshield leaking profusely. This led to moisture issues inside the car when driving in the rain, which could present a serious visibility hazard. There are also numerous electrical components (major vehicle control and diagnostic modules) located in the tracking path of the water which could cause serious issues to the drivability and safety of the vehicle if in motion. Upon replacement of the windshield it was discovered that there was a complete section of the windshield sealant missing along the top edge of the windshield, near the rear view mirror on the passenger side. I am a member of several Audi vehicle forums and this is a well known and documented issue there. I just wanted to make this Agency aware of the issue before anyone got seriously hurt or killed due to not being able to see while driving down the road.
