Do you think Audi will cover this...

I think the max you will get out of Audi is 75% of the repair cost, you will still have to pay out the other 25% and at their prices that will be expensive. I know a few of the s3 lads who have had issues with their roof rails rusting and with Audi uk paying 75% it has still cost them £400 +, try Audi but you might be best off getting a few quotes from some good body shops.

The sticking point is "The perforation must not have been caused originally by damage, neglect, insufficient care or maintenance, or by external perforation from the inside out." which would be difficult to prove.

I have a good & reasonable body shop that have done a great job on my 4 rusting arches in the past so I'll go with them I think!
