My manual fits perfectly in the left side compartment and also leaves room for me to keep my iPass toll road RFID box in there with it (I hate having the ugly thing stuck on the inside of the windshield all the time so I only take it out when actually going through a toll). There is still even more room left over in there if I wanted to keep my sunglasses in there too, but I don't.

I have an A5 building in early May and my manual packet holder fits perfectly, along with a washcloth sized microfiber towel and insurance papers.

Or different manual sizes?

Okay I was not imagining it..

Photos shows the manual with cover.. and the other photos show the cavity for the manual holder box..

My vehicle is a 2018 A5 Cabriolet - and you can notice the cutoff within the compartment that prevents the manual from sliding in. My sales rep was gobsmacked to find the manual doesnt fit and really could not do anything to explain it.. the manual now resides in the trunk unless i am doing something really wrong!

maybe this is a cab thing?

Can you post a photo of the inside without the manual? Something structural with the Cab seems to be intruding into the cavity..

Clear as Night and Day - Danke!

Looks like a Design department fail to me when they came up with the 2018 A5 Cab model..

maybe due to the droptop controls? Are they on that side?
