Default 2018 Q5 Torque Wrench Location?

Hey there - just got a 2018 Audi Q5 Premium Plus and I can't find the torque wrench that's required to install the roof rack. Anyone know where to find it?

I looked in the wheel well, glove box, center console etc.

You mean Torx? They wouldn't give a torque wrench

No, he meant torque. It's not like a traditional one, it just has lines on it that tell you to stop tightening once they line up. With that said, it is usually included in the cardboard that held the cross bars together or located in the net on the right side of the cargo area.

Correct SYMAWD - it's the "Roof Rack Torque Wrench". Which doesn't seem to have been included in the box or cargo net. Gonna call the dealership tomorrow to get one. Doesn't look like any other way to adjust these...

The torque wrench for the roof bars does not come with the car. It is included when you buy the roof bars.

Thank you montclair2525. You're 100% right. It turns out for some reason the torque wrench wasn't in the box they gave me. It also turns out that the wrenches are custom to the rack, so they're not interchangeable. I had to go to the dealer to get a new rack w/ the included wrench. All set now.
