    Anyone have a cheap source for visor clips that actually fit a 2014 B8.5 A4 Quattro?

    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.

    In my experience, all the "cheap" ones on eBay etc. never fit quite right. I just went and bought OEM ones from ECS I believe, yea they are expensive but they fit perfect.

    Thanks. I found them on Amazon for $12.99. I got a bunch of the Chinese knockoffs listed initially but found the Runmade clips at the bottom in the also viewed list. It said they were specifically for 2013-2016 Audis. I think the cheap ones listed on ebay are for the 2012 and earlier models. I have Amazon Prime so I should get it by this weekend. I'll let everyone know if they fit OK.

    The one I bought fit perfect,even had the OEM part # molded in it. The only thing was the color was very slightly off but only if I had them side by side.when it's mounted,you can't tell at all. You will be happy with it I'm sure.

    I just received the Runmade slips from Amazon today (gotta love Amazon Prime). I installed one in my car, but the cover wouldn't stay clipped because the spring was keeping it from seating so I used the original cover and it worked perfectly. The opening in the clip is the right size for the visor rod so it was a perfect fit. The color was also a perfect match. Not bad for $12.99 considering what the OEM clip costs and definitely much better than the majority of knockoffs made in China.

    I bought the cheap Ebay ones also and they suck. They were so tight trying to get the visor into them that I broke the plastic off that was around the pin/piece that slips into the clip. . I'd buy factory from now on.
