Check your owners manual page 351 fig 272 item 1. Item one is a sealant bottle and fits the space shown.

maybe I misunderstood what was being asked, I thought it was in reference to what I had back there which is a tire plug kit. My bad, but either way fix a flat is not a recommended fix in my experience it’s really last resort.... with a compressor and plug kit, spare tire, and Audi roadside there should not be a need for fix a flat?

Those plug kits work great. Whenever I got a nail on my RFT tires, tire shop just used a plug. After driving on them for 4 years, they were still fine.
I should get another one to put in the Audi (thinking out loud…)

for sure... they have saved me a few times. Sometimes it’s hard like if the object won’t come out easy and sometimes you have to make the hole bigger which was tough on the charger as there was little to no room to get your hand in, especially if it was the rear tire but on his baby, got plenty of clearance and if More is needed, just hit the off road and raise it lol.

Not to keep changing subject but I found a decent solution for the sunglasses problem... problem Being There is no holder built in... found his by mistake and seems to work at least with my glasses, face up so no part of the lens will be scratched and they stayed in place somehow, so far anyways ... Also need the phone holder to free up the slot but check it out

The Valet key is built into the two main keys. Press the two black buttons on sides of the metal part of your main keys and pull out the small key blade. Use the metal key blade to lock the glove box and keep it. Then just give the main key fob to the valet.

I keep my glasses in the cubby on the left hand side of the steering wheel. Seems to be the ideal space since it is felt lined.

yea, I've actually since moved them to that same spot as it's too open to damage in that slot....
