It's very possible that this is the case. I don't know if the proper ones were put on before, as I haven't had the car in my possesion very long. I've now got the specs, and I'm going to try and source them from a local specialty hardware distributor nearby in hopes of getting them a bit cheaper than what Audi sells them for. At worst, I'll head to the dealer and buy new ones, but it's worth a shot to check.
Thanks!
