Removing Bumper mounted rear N/S lens Q5 Sportback

[UptonOGoode]

Mike from Shrewsbury here with a '72 plate Q5 Sportback.

Trying to replace a broken lens on the Q5 Sportback. Cant find how to access the torx screw. Manual does not cover Sportback, nothing on Audi site or in Audi App. On std Q5 there is a small access panel. Not visible on SB. Only a short length of the metal trim with a small circular recess. I can start to remove it, it comes free easily at the bottom, but not the top and I don't want to force it. Any ideas?

 

Cheers

 

Mike

Mike, I have the same issue. Dealer wants $735 + tax (over $800 out of pocket) to replace on my '23 Q5 Sportback. I bought the Audi part for less than $300 and want to install. NO info anywhere on how to get that panel off. Everything online is Q5, nothing Sportback. Will ask the dealer this week and post any info I find. In my case, terminal may be corroding because rust stains below crack in the lens, so important I get this replaced quickly.
