I'm going to chime in and ask a question that reeks of noobness.  Ok, so I know where the owner's manual tray is located, and I have a manual.  How do I put the manual in the tray so it does not fall out when I hit the go pedal?  I must be retarded or something.

I don't have a manual but was wondering if you had tried Duct tape.

Do not use Duck tape as the ducks get really mad when you try to remove it because it hurts when there feathers are torn out.

This is no joke people.  I rank this problem right up there with blown turbos, MMI issues and other catastrophic failures.  I just don't see how others can drive around for years with their manual stowed in their tray (unbeknownst to them that they even have a manual) while I can't go 10 seconds without it falling at my feet.  If I can't get this issue resolved, I fear I will have to dump this car on craigslist.  Maybe I have a lemon?  What's wrong with my tray?  Why me god?

take your owners manual and throw it in a drawer somewhere. otherwise there are clips inside the sleeve area. i dont know if you can bend them down more or not. otherwise stuff more **** in there and jam it in there.

Ok, mine is very tight in there... Have you ever though of just putting as much paper in there as you can? Try to fill it up and it should expand and fill up the tray

Mine fit snuggly, but it became too much of a nuisance to keep in there.  I keep it in the glove box.

Audi's come with owner manuals?

Well I have my amp controller, amp switch, and TT there so no room for shenanigans.

this is an audi. not a gremlin. do not duct tape anything on your car. put more stuff in there. if this really is a big problem then there isnt a prooblem with the car its the driver and their idiosyncrasies.

I thought this might be the case.  I knew it couldn't possibly be the fine piece of German engineering that is the Audi A6.  Wait a second...IT IS ME...isn't it?  I can't do anything right.  GOD I'M STUPID!  Either that or I'm short.  Don't worry.  I would never duct tape my car, though I have thought about masking tape.  It is a very underrated tape, and is cheaper than duct tape.

Thanks for the insight!  I'm actually of average height, but I do tend to angle the steering wheel a little lower than some.  This answer might just actually make sense.  Thanks!

No Duct Tape?
 
What is Wrong with you guys?
 
Are you elitist snobs or something?
 
Didn't you know that they make very high class duct tape that comes in special colors? If you get it from an Audi dealer you can pay up to $150.00 a roll. (You can get the same high quality duct tape from AZ for about 3 bucks but nothing but the best for my Audi.)

I got a noob question, what does Sleeper mean? I hear this term tossed around and have no idea what it means!
