Splash Guard Solution For Prestige?
Hey all,
Was wondering if anyone has found or figured out a suitable solution to the lack of splash guards for the Prestige model.
Apparently the OEM guards that Audi sells will only work on Premium and Premium Plus models...NOT...on the Prestige model.
I took my brand new A7 to my upstate NY house tonight and the dirt and grit from the one mile dirt and gravel road up to the house left an insane amount of grit, sand and grime all along the underside of both rear quarter panels and all over the rear bumper. At this rate I can't see my beautiful paint job lasting very long in this situation.
Has anyone figured out a work around on this yet? If so I'd be eager to hear specifics and/or solutions.
Thanks.

You can try some universal splash guards and cut them to fit. eBay and the local auto parts stores have them.

I've had same issue. I also note (my wife suggesting I go back to Dealer) passenger side windshield does not clear well with wipers. I tend to overuse spray to attempt to clear it for her but no success. Sorry I did not mean to change thread but weather/winds showing up either weaknesses or maybe a more agressive wiper/tension needed.

I did locate some molded mud flaps on ebay.de - they may not be for the Prestige body work.
Search using "Audi A6 C7" to filter out the ordinary stuff. They have floor and trunk mats but some vendors don't ship to North America and many other places. The C6 sunshades were interesting.
I use Rockmelt as a browser and I set the options to translate every page. Many things didn't get translated so be careful before ordering anything. I was just looking to see what stuff they had for the A6 C7.

found a full sert of a7 splash guards on ebay for $99. Brand new in the box. Took them to the dealer for install. Actually wish I had them installed a week earlier as I got stuck behind a truck leaking that black crap they use to refinish parking lots.. Took forever to clean that up.
