Just wondering if anyone has come across this. Just bought an old 2000 A6 as a third car as we now have a 16 yo driver. I initially thought this would be more for him to drive, but like it so much I plan on doing most of the driving of this car.

Anywho - the body is in excellent shape. It has moldings" along the front and rear doors (on the lower half of the doors) that match the paint color. The passenger side door molding got caught on the front quarter panel as the door was opened, and it broke a couple inch piece off of the molding. I think the best solution is to replace the entire strip. Any idea where to find the part, and what is it called exactly? Molding, trim???

I assume that this is a reasonably easy fix if I could just locate the part.

Thanks in advance for any help.

 

You never said what model it was... 2.8, 2.7t, 4.2?
thanks would help out

 

It's the 2.8 Quattro.

 

i got the same car.... but i couldn't find them online for the whole piece. You have to order it from the dealer, or you could buy your own trim and DIY but will probably not look as good.

 

You said it got caught on the quarter panel, but it seems that would never hit the molding even if the molding slid towards the back of the car, at least not break it. So I priced a front one thinking it hit the fender just behind the front wheel when the door was opened. Anyway, if it's the RF it's 111.00, if it's the RR it's 86.25 for that molding and it does need to be painted.
