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.

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: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...amp/893837073/

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).

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

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. |

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

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?

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.
