I have a 2018 A6 3.0T PP. I bought an Audi sunshield / sunshade ZAW400817 for the car, and I couldn't get it to fit. It took me a couple of minutes just to maneuver it into place, and then I hard time time getting it around the rear view mirror. I called the dealer I got it from, and they sent another sunshield ZAW064360M. I couldn't get this one to fit either, and this one was worse as it wasn't pliable. The Audi Accessories website states that both fit my A6, but I couldn't get either sunshield to clear the rear view mirror. I went to WeatherTech's website to look at sunshades and the website asks "please select your vehicle's windshield mounted sensor" with options for a large or small sensor. I do have ACC with the driver assistance package so I think the large sensor and rear view mirror are preventing me from being able to use these sunshades. Anyone else have the same issue?
I like the Covercraft UVS100 They make if for HUD or non HUD. My car had driver assist/ACC. This was for 17 A6 PP+. Those Audi ones are junk to me.

Anyone else have the same issue?I have a 2016 A6 3.0 PP. Got the weather tech one.. Fits perfectly. Just enough bend to get it around the rearview.

I just picked up the ZAW400817 an hour ago and it fits perfectly in my 2018 S6 C7.5 ...and tucks up under the rear view mirror. I've found the first time you use them they need to be flattened/tucked a little. Mine is even a Prestige with the HUD and B&O rising tweeters. I would go so far as to say if anyone is looking for a sun shade in the coming summer months, I'd recommend the ZAW400817 for your A6/S6.

I have a 2018 A6 and the Audi sunshade that seems too big but I found that if I insert the widest part of the sunshade exactly under the forward windshield (where the wipers are) then I can maneuver it around the rearview mirror and it will fit. It has to go as far forward as possible under the wiperblade area of the windshield then around the rearview mirror. It is cumbersome but now that i now how to put it up i actually use it.

It was such a tight fit I returned it. I had my sunshade from my Q5 and started using it. The Q5 sunshade fits well and I can put it up much quicker than the A6 sunshade.
