Default RATS!

So I pulled my skid plate today and found that mice or rats have been gnawing on my Q7. Unbelievable. I heard of this in the country or even the burbs, but never in the city.

Ugh. Luckily, so far, its not electrical.

Default Hungry varmints!

It seems mice were munching on my cowl seal at the base of the wiper arms and the padding under the hood on my Q7. I didn’t realize Audi soft parts were so delicious to varmints!

Yeah, I'm pretty stunned myself. I guess they use it for bedding or something.

I am told there is soy mixed in with many of the rubber products and that attracts mice and rats. You haven't lived until you have had one chew through the cabin filter of your Lexus and take up residence. Took a week and a special trap to catch the bastard.

Looks cool, might keep the thieves away too - they'll have no idea what it is flashing under the hood.
