Avant owners: Does Audi have a fix-kit for the license plate "nuts" that fall into the door?......
One of these "nuts" that's embeded in the plastic door insert has come loose and fallen inside the door. I thought I recalled someone saying that Audi had a kit that they install under warranty to resolve this issue. Does anyone know of this and what the Audi P/N of the kit might be? Or also, where are the TBB's? and are any on this topic?

Sort of happened with me....
....one of mine had come loose, but it hadn't yet fallen into oblivion. I was able to grab it with needle-nose pliers and stick it back in the proper spot. I tried to bend the tabs to keep it from falling in again, and so-far, so-good.
Had it fallen in, I was figuring I'd have to remove that entire plate trim piece...wasn't looking forward to that.

yeah, same thing - saved it once and reused - then got a new plate & it fell again
now the opening is just too big for it to stay in place such that I can get any threads started.

I just fixed mine this last weekend!!
seems to me that the most important thing (as mentioned in the TSB) is to not push them through by using a spacer if you don't have a license plate frame otherwise, they ft pretty tight and I wouldn't expect them to fall out without help (or using the wrong size bolts would screw things up too.)
