Default Two QUestions

1) The level sensor on my windshield washer resevoir keeps popping out and draining my fluid. Is there any way I can make sure it does not fall out again?

2) This one is really weird. When I turn on my rear window defroster, my radio goes staticy. All but a few of my stations will get nothing but static. When I turn it off it goes back to normal. Anyone else ever have this problem, and if so how do you fix it?

BTW it is a 2004 A6 2.7 S Line with Bose sound system.

1 - black RTV
2 - alternator (or, learn to live with it)

Sorry, still a noob here. But what is an RTV? And the alternator was replaced less than 20k miles ago. Is it possible its bad?

1 - glorified glue.
2 - yes. Probably a "rebuilt in China" POS using the cheapest diodes, capacitors and resistors. The capacitor/resistor pair should dampen out the electronic noise that is sneaking into your rear window defroster that then sneaks into your radio signal.
