Cracked My C Pillar - need light grey passenger side

I guess that the cooler weather has made interior plastic more brittle. I have been trying to find the problem with my rear defogger and cracked the passenger side C pillar. Anybody have one?

I have been searching but cannot find wiring details for the junction block for the rear defogger. Even the Bentley is not much help. Any clues would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Ken

Thanks a lot for that........

I went to their site, it seems pretty confusing to research an Audi part. It seemed like their web site is VW specific.

What do you think are my chances of finding a good one used?

Thanks again,

Ken

unless you find someone parting out a wreck, ZERO!!

most salvage yards won't have audi's in them.

To use the 1stVWparts site, you have to have a part number. Download a copy of ETKA, it is a lifesaver!!
