$100 part, paint + labor = $630. It's the fucking size of a quarter. So I'm going to order a $30 one on eBay and f'ing spraybomb it or pay a painter $20 to do it. You can install the damned thing with your hands and five minutes.
Checkout one of the made-to-order automotive paint places online, Jake and I have bought stuff from "automotivetouchup.com" and had good luck. They'll send you a rattle can of your exactly color, and with a part that small you'd never notice it wasn't done professionally. I've used it to respray those little half-dollar sized pieces that go in the E36's side skirts.

Sherman Williams is very good about this stuff too. I think I paid like $16 for a can of Subaru World Rally Blue and it was a perfect match. Even got a can of clear coat for it. Best part is that they mix it right then and there, so no waiting.
Re: 2009 Audi A4 Avant - Mike - 01-26-2016
Thanks, will consider both options. Another option is that the loaner matches my car's color. Little game of swaperooni in the Audi Service Center parking lot?
It seems some dude in Germany or Poland used to supply them pre-painted, but that was years ago. Bummer.

CX5 doesn't have memory seats. So go ahead and rule it out.

Right. It pretty much is. I think we're limited to German or a Lincoln?

Re: 2009 Audi A4 Avant - WRXtranceformed - 01-26-2016
Yeah our RDX resets seats and mirror positioning with the memory keys. The newer ones might do even more, I'm not sure. The MDX stores even more information like radio presets, cliimate control etc. like my Jag does.

Hah. Nice find. If he did individuals I'd be all over it. I still want to verify the failure with my own ears (you can listen for them to click when the ignition is turned on) because I don't trust dealership diagnosis for shit.

The only thing that MUST be moved is the rear view mirror, and the silly memory seats dont work on that.

Im pretty stoked about the cx6 coming later this year

I do feel Mike's pain. My wife is all of 5'1 with heels on and I am not kidding when I say that i can't fit my legs between the steering wheel and seat when she has been driving the car. Her seats adjust 3 ways and it would be a huge PITA to manually get my seating position and mirror settings back to perfect every time.
WE PAY MONEY SO WE DON'T HAVE TO CRANK SEAT ADJUSTMENT WHEELS LIKE PEASANTS
(I keed because I'm about to go from the most memory settings ever to a manually adjusting seatback and no memory seats :lol

manual adjust seats would solve a lot of your complaints about the time youre wasting adjusting seats....can literally get right in 5 seconds or less
