How's the fit? THe A6's trunk is pretty square so I wouldn't think it would be a problem for fitting. Is it easy to remove when you don't need the weatherproof functionality (driving trips with lots of luggage and stuff). I live in Canada and finding WeatherTech to actual to touch and feel may be a 2 hour drive so I have to rely on other people. It's basically purchasing it on the internt, sight unseen (same with Lloyd's). Have you ever seen the Lloyd's Rubbertite to compare to the WeatherTech?
Fit in both vehicles is perfect, much better then Toyota mat that I got for the 4 Runner when new.
Would definitely get them again.
I am using Audi interior carpets for the summer and Audi interior rubber mats for the winter but am looking for something better.

What about cargo mats and using the cargo net ? Do they cover the tie downs as well ?? I know my cargo net is puny and basically my laptop fills the entire net but still nice to use.

Sorry this took so long. Finally got a chance to take pics of them. This was after a few rounds of golf, so they are a bit dirty. But they look like OEM mats and are so much better than the carpet ones that came with the car. I plan to use these year round.

I don't know where the tie downs are for the cargo met in the Audi, however as long as they aren't on the floor you should be fine. If they are on the floor you could cut access holes in the mat with a razor blade, and the mat would not fray.

Avoid Auto Distributor Direct
- Very slow in responding despite several emails and PM.
- False promises.
Didn't feel like Joe is eager to earn my business.
Found the same 3D mats at Costco online. Comes with 10 year warranty and legendary no hassle return.

Looking at Decim8r's post and seeing that the Auto Distributor Direct is/wants to be active on AW, I was interested in buying these mats. My advise to anyone looking to buy these mats from Auto Distributor Direct, save yourselves the trouble. One of the worst customer service I have experienced.

I ended up moving on and ordering different mats from a different site.

I had the same problem about response time and disinterest. Interestingly enough I saw these same mats in a current Herrington catalog and their price is competitive with Auto Distributor Direct. So, another source for a good product.
If you go to the Marketplace/Classifieds - Miscellaneous for A6 there is a set of black 3D mats available.

I had the same experience. I saw the pictures and good reviews here and tried to order a pair for my dad's new F-250 as a gift. My wife actually placed the order because she types fast on an I-phone and knows her cc# by heart. She got an email a week later wanting to confirm the year of the truck, she confirmed it was a 2013. She got an email a week after that again wanted to confirm the year of the truck. She confirmed it again. She started emailing a few days later asking if the mats had shipped yet. She didn't get a reply. She told me she was sick of dealing with Joe, so I started emailing him from my account asking about the mats. I've never gotten a reply. She ended up cancelling the order. Joe emailed her back apologizing and offering to supply a $20 discount code if she wanted to place the order again. She was done dealing with Joe at that point and forwarded the message to me. I replied to Joe saying "no problem, I'll place the order again. Please send the discount code." I never heard anything from Joe. That was nine days ago.

On a positive note, the cargo mats are very cool. 3D should probably think of getting more responsive reps.
