Default Need to find an oddball interior trim piece

Are there any businesses that specialize in Audi parts from wrecked A7/S7's?

I need the rubber grommet from the parcel cover's hanger as seen below(this is the opposite/good side). I have the hard plastic bit, but need the outer rubber grommet section. Audi will only sell me the whole darned cover for a cost of nearly $500, and I have a hard time justifying such an expense when all I need is a $10 part.

The auto wreckers (who these days like to be called recyclers) have a very sophisticated network, where all cars (and their available parts) in the yards are listed. This is an internal network, but the member companies are most willing to look up for you whether a part is available somewhere. Contact one of the larger wrecking companies in your area and they will locate the part and order it in for you.

Thanks for the lead. I haven't been to a proper wreckin' yard for nearly 30 years! Might be fun to look around a bit to see what I can spot.

I've also seen several outfits on ebay that are parting out A7s.
