Default just got a letter from audi

so i just got a letter from Audi informing me that the sunroof drains should be cleaned at least every 2 years to prevent water from getting into the car. they also attached a form that you fill out if that happened to you and they would pay you back for the damages if you provide evidence i guess. didn't really read it through but did you guys also get this?

i didnt get this letter, but maybe because i didnt buy/lease my car from an audi dealership so im not on their records.

i've only seen in one case that i saw water coming from my map lights when i was going through a car wash. It has never happened since, but i think it may have caused my headliner around my sunvisors to dip maybe cause of small traces of water started to loosen the glue.

I got the same letter yesterday.
You can send in your paperwork and receipts, but you will only be reimbursed IF the class action lawsuit "against" Audi is won.

No joke! You have to hate leaky parts, especially on sunroofs/T-tops (my personal fav). They're a pain in the butt to take care of and the water damage is always a headache to deal with. I never got the letter, but I'm going to keep an eye out on my car anyway just in case.

No joke, I just got the letter today. If you bought your car through a dealership you should get the letter.
