Part number for the clip is 4D0867646. I know that MikkiJayne has 3D printed them, but probably expensive to send one to the US. If you have access to a 3D printer, maybe MikkiJayne could send you the print file.

EDIT: The part number I listed is for the small plastic clip, so ignore.

I printed the little black plastic bit, not the metal clip. They're still available new though so Prestige should have some.

Whoops! Saw that photo, thought of that pesky plastic part, and didn't read the text properly. Correct part number for the metal clip is 893837073.

Prestige seem to be the only ones in the UK selling these, but as OP is in the US, ECS Tuning over there are listing them:

Thanks, this is actually the clip that I need. I didn't know this clip is originally plastic. I hope I can find my missing clip, otherwise I'll just order this clip when I order other parts that'll cost me over $59 to get free shipping. I still have the other clip (893837073).

Not your fault, as I didn't know the clip I misplaced is plastic.






Any tips to get these fasteners to stay put in the hole of the door frame so they don't easily pull out?

[MikkiJayne]

Normally those things lock in to the door so tightly they are destroyed taking the door card off. I consider them single-use, which is quite annoying when you forget to attach the bowden cable, but such is life. Still, I order a thousand at a time from Tradition so I just grab a handful more and try again

Is it all the clips not holding in, or just a couple? I've seen a couple of times where the ones at the top corners don't lock in fully, but all the others do.

[Audifan]

Unfortunately Audi Tradition doesn't ship to America. So I ended up purchasing them from here. I wonder if these clips would be better?

I finally got the front seats in the car but still need to plug in the wiring harness and bolt them down.


Got my new boot and botang grommets. Thanks MJ

[Audifan]

I really haven't done much with this car as I've been dealing with back issues. So, I'm limited to working on it when my back is feeling decent to do so. Anyways, I was able to get the new boot grommets installed.








I took this picture of where the Botang hole should be, but I'm having troubles finding exactly where it is located?

Based on the following image that MJ took, yours should be roughly where I have indicated in the attached image (a copy of yours). Something that might be relevant, and I can't remember if it is, but Botang's Hole may only be an issue of RHD cars. MJ will put us right on that.



EDIT: The following post has photos of the hole on a LHD car. These might give a better perspective on where to look:

Its there on LHD as well. You can see the crack in the ridge just under the orange grommet, which is the edge of the fabric tape.
