WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2024 Audi SQ7, 2024 Audi Q7, 2023 Audi SQ7, and 2023 Audi Q7. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
-- Clean the threaded pin threads on the roof railing with a wire brush.
-- Check the seal for damage and replace if necessary.
-- Carefully remove any remaining locking fluid from the nut threads that are installed with locking fluid using a thread tap.
TIP:
There is no cleaning procedure, since there is a risk of the threaded pins shearing off when disassembling again.
-- Insert the roof railing with the guide pin into the mount on the vehicle roof.
-- Install the nuts with locking fluid and tighten.
Further installation is performed in reverse order of the removal.
