Default Sunglasses Console Won't Close

The inner clip that latches the compartment is broken and it seems it can be replaced, anyone know the part number, I checked OEM catalog and can't seem to find the sunglasses holder or any of its components, seems to be a common problem with many Audi models , if anyone can look it up where I can get one or dealer part number it would be awesome, with the flap open it covers almost half of the rear view mirror and its very annoying. Thanks

I can imagine how annoying it would be if it won't stay up.

Default Tape it up with duct tape until you can fix it.

double over the duct tape to make a little tab or affix velcro to the tab and the other half of the velcro to the overhead console.

I think this is the part that is responsible for holding the sunglasses holder closed. Should do what you need. Follow the link for the OEM replacement. It's quite cheap.

You are awesome, that looks to be right I got some of the broken piece out and the casing resembles this piece.

If the part numbers in this thread are correct, any Audi parts store should have it (4F0947117)
