Original origin and fitment for Audi

The presented mechanism is an Audi brand part, which means maintaining factory manufacturing standards and geometry. The original design ensures:

• compatibility with factory mounting points in the Q3 8U body,
• proper guidance of the sliding roof module,
• consistency with other elements of the panoramic system. Thanks to this, the installation can be carried out in a manner similar to the factory process, without the need for structural modifications or fitting non-original solutions.
