Front Socket Jacking Pad fell out

[Reecard]

Has anyone had their front socket jacking pad fall out? I was switching from my winter wheel setup to my summer wheel setup last night, put the jack down and the socket pad fell out on the drivers side. It must have broke somehow because I can not get it to stay in place. I did find a replacement online and ordered it this morning, but this seemed strange. I have owned a couple of Audi's and this is the first time this has happened.

Recently happened to me also.

Just shoe-goo it back in, been fine for 5 years for me, don't waste money buying new one, assuming it fell out in your garage...

It cost less than 10 bucks for a new one….

Half the time I just jack from the pinch weld anyway.

Unless the issue why it fell out in the first place, would hinder a new one from also staying in place?

Mine just fell out from my brake job and its because the plastic was damaged. I’m considering getting it scanned and making some sort of piece to go between it and a jack to avoid damage next time

i have 4 of those. works well with the RS7 body kit, no need to remove them jacking point covers ($200+ each from audi?) and losing them when they eventually shake lose. Just nail those buggers down to the main bodykit and use the jacking connectors when you need to lift the car.
