Default Avant owners!
Does anybody have a problem with the trunk area cover staying covered (extended) during driving with windows open slightly? Mine keeps folding with a loud snap back into it's case while I am driving.
THANKS!!

Hmmm... I am thinking of putting rubber rings on tips. Can't see how the dealer would solve that

I think, I'll follow up on this with a local dealer one day. It just not right. Thanks for everyone's feedback!

Default yup.. I've had it happen on my B6 Avant too...
I don't think it is correctable at the dealer... its just a function of the design.

Default Its a function of **** poor design...
This NEVER happened on my B5 Avant, happens occasionally with the B7. Another step backward...

Default you'll get use to it...
but i would say it's more a user error that a design error... and i know i'm gonna get **** from some, but i do believe it happens when one of the side isn't properly put in its "hinge"... i had it happened w/ the windows closed too...
