Default Interior Ski Bag Flap?

I had my car searched today by my high school administration (they didn't find anything as I don't do drugs) and they ripped my interior ski bag flap. They pulled straight down and ripped it off on both sides rendering it hard to use, what they should have done is pull the Velcro apart. The school WILL be paying for this damage and I want to know where I can replace this (I don't want just some hot glue gun on it, I want the part or a viable estimate for the part). I havnt found anything on ecs or a few other Audi websites I have checked, anybody know of a place? I prefer brand new as mine was in brand new condition. Any ideas? I will be calling around to Audi dealerships to try and find it also

Jeez what kind of school do you go to that they just randomly search students' cars? I've never even heard of anything like that happening. I don't really remember how the ski bag looks but can't you staple the velcro strip back on?

Give the closest dealer a call and tell them what you need, they'll be able to get it for you 100%. Especially since you aren't paying for it

A school where they take false leads and accuse a varsity runner and all A student of being a drug dealer. I don't want to do any stapling or glueing as I'm not paying for it and I want it new like it was, ill give my nearest dealership a call and see what they can do

Yeah man if it's coming out of their pocket I would make it as expensive as possible just to spite them lol. Make sure you give the dealer your VIN # so they get the color match right.

What'd they say to you when you confronted them about it?

I'm not going to make it expensive but I'm going to get a brand new one installed, so it's not gunna cheap haha. I say the one vice principal pull down on it and I was just like "uhhh...I think you just ripped it" and he quickly closed it up an left. But my car is flawless and my principal is a good guy so we set up a meeting with him, and if they don't pay for it then my aunt is a lawyer and we will be filling harassment (second time this year I have been search and found nothing) and a suit against the school for the damages.

Don't forget that they are playing with OPM - other people's money - so they don't care what they frig up, as you, the tax payer, actually pays for their stupidity (again). sorry. They have no accountability or pain from pissing away your rights or money. Life time employment, baby! once you graduate they'll still be there screwing over the next guy.
