    Car Cover from Griot's ... fits like, well, um...

    crap.

    The mirror pockets are totally wrong. When I ordered it, they didn't have a '2010' listed, but I didn't think that the mirrors are any different between a 2008-2009 and the 2010 cars? Are they?

    Got the cover a couple weeks back, finally the car came and she don't fit. fits the body well enough, but mirrors not so much. Tried it with the mirrors in, mirrors out, etc... nope. It just isn't going to work.

    I need to blast a message back to those guys...

    The mirrors are the same across the board.

    I have a nice custom cover, but dang-it, I can only use it right after a wash. After a wash and a trip around the block , I find the car too dusty to cover. \"/ Little measures like this keep her looking good, MUCH longer.

    Yeah, no change for mirror location. V8 or V10, 2008 or 2010, they're all the same shape. Sorry to hear it's not the fit you were hoping for...

    The factory "stretch satin" indoor cover is VERY nice!

    I wouldn't go for aftermarket cover. Moreover AUDI original exists... 300$ or so...

    Yes, very nice. I have one and use it as judiciously, as Harrison stated.
