I was driving with my wife the other day and she was fumbling with the visor on the passenger's side. Now, my wife has an extremely low tolerance level and gets frustrated quite easily. When I saw that she was having difficulty getting the visor into the clip I knew what was about to happen. Just as I reached for the visor and yelled at her to stop, she slammed the visor into the clip and I got hit right in the face with the flying plastic piece that broke off. I saw it coming but there was nothing I could do to stop it. It's like the whole thing happened in slow motion like you see in the movies.
I've been looking all over and I can either spend $35 and up for an OEM clip or I can buy ones on ebay that never fit. The part number I came up with for my 2014 A4 Quattro is 8U0857562EP5 or 8U0857562AEP5 (moon silver). I found the parts list here:

Can anyone point me to a source that sells these for a reasonable cost? The ones listed on ebay have the right part number, but the opening for the visor rod is always too small so it is clearly not the right part. I went through the same thing on my 2013 A4 base model and ended up paying close to $40 for a stupid little piece of plastic that probably cost less than 5 cents to manufacture.
