The door's window controls have started to rub off, similar to what you see in this picture:



Can these be replaced?

 

Yep, its the master window switch. You have to remove the door panel and snap it in from the bottom of the panel.

 

Im assuming the same can be done with the climate control buttons as well??.. if so how do you get to those?.. i took out my headunit cuz i put in an aftermarket but if i remember correctly didnt see any way to access the buttons down below that

 

Un-fortunately, you have to replace the entire A/C control head for that. I just had to replace mine because the previous owner spilled a bunch of soda on the buttons and it was wacking out.

 

You can try a DIY before dropping $ on new switches:

No, that was just a picture I found on the internet which just so happened to have the problem my same Audi did.

Also, the rear cup holders are stuck shut. Any idea on how to unstick them and get them from "sticking" again?
I can't even get them out! I just bought this car used and although it is well taken care of, small things like these are something
I feel I can remedy at a rather cheap cost.

 

Dont know how reliable this is coming from Hong Kong, but....
