Audi B8.5 (2013) radiator cover question

[magicmk]

So, my 2013 A5 went in for a recall repair at the dealer today (climate control software update), and the service advisor told me that my car is missing the cover that goes over the top of the radiator (between the grille and the support). Found the cover on ECS Tuning's site, but I've run into a mystery as to what fasteners are used to secure this thing. One Audi parts site has a diagram that suggests 4 pushpin-style rivets for along the rear side (Audi Part no. 4D0-807-300), but much else of what I've googled seems to suggest that there are actually bolts that are supposed to go in those locations - maybe something similar to what is used on the splash shield underneath, I have no idea.



Also, front and center, you can see a fifth spot where another fastener looks like it would go. I haven't even found anything online that would indicate something goes there, but it sure looks like something ought to. Can anyone at point me in the right direction, or at least confirm if these are bolts or pushpins or whatever they are supposed to be? Thank you!

It's the push pins that look like plastic rivers. I am not near my car right now to tell you how many but I recently took mine off to wrap my grill.

Thank you! Is it just four of them, or is there a fifth one in the front as well?

Ah, nevermind, I need to learn to read better! I'm just gonna order 5 of them. Never hurts to have an extra if that ends up being the case. Thanks again!

Sup Magicmk,

I would talk to your service advisor and usually if they are nice they would just get you some from the back and hook it up.

Only b8s have bolts (screws), yours have 4 push pins. Exactly 4, not 5.

Anybody know the part number for the screws on the B8?
