Default Deleting Driver's side Holy S*&% Handle
I'm looking at a new Audi, specifically an A3 or A4. Unfortunately with the A3 I hit my head on the holy poop handle. Does anyone know if you can get an OEM blanking plate or something?

What? What handle do you hit? the pull down handle? How would removing it give you more space?

Sitting in two A3s, I just caught the very edge of the handle as I went to get out. If it were removd I thought it might give me just enough head space.

Default Well, my advice would be to change the seat position... you can remove the handle, but it'll look
hideous.

agreed, lower the seat as far down as possible (not sure if that was setting you were in)

Default Seat was as far down as it would go. Unfortunately I think an A3 just isn't going to fit me....
Onto an A4

Default BTW, A3 and A4 are almost identical in all internal passenger dimensions. However, the shape
of the volumes might be different enough that it works for you - or it doesn't.
