Does anyone know the make of these running boards?
I recently moved up from a '11 Q5 to a '11 Q7 3.0T Prestige. I've got two little guys that are 6 and 4 and with the Q7, its a little tougher for them to get into the rear of the car without some running boards on the side.
Did a search of the forum and it seems like the Romik ones are popular, but when I look on their site it say it doesn't fit S-line models (wonder if its the side molding?). Either way, I found this Q7 on Ebay and like the running boards but am not sure who makes them?
Any help is appreciated in IDing these.....So far on my list of to-do's are putting the Vizualogic headrest from the Q5 into the new Q7, new Hawk Ceramic pads for the brake dust, and would like to add some running boards as well.

Be carefull with these sidesteps, I had these on my car http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Audi-Q7-0...ht_2051wt_1163
and they only have two mounting points , very flimsy and lots of flex.
I have now replaced them with these OEM copies http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Audi-Q7-2...ht_1052wt_1163
and they are great, as good as OEM.

With the OEM copies, do you need to relocate the air compressor hardware for those who have the suspension that is height adjustable? When I took a look at the OEM directions, it show how you need to relocate them (which seems like a PITA) but wonder if on the aftermarket copies if the mounting hardware is different in that you don't need to do that part?

Hi, I have this set (OEM copies)
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AUDI-Q7-SI...#ht_902wt_1071
and my car has air suspension and rear HVAC. No modifications were necessary so it was an easy install.

sorry , had a hard copy that came with the boards but do not know where it is
you do have to unbolt the compressor to fit the bracket but then it goes back to its original position, it is not hard, these where identical to the OEM, including the brackets, even the instruction were original Audi
