my center armrest on my 2005.5 A4 2.0T is broken. specifically the lid. I cant find this part anywhere, does anyone have any good interior parts sources?

 

I have been down this road too. You can look on ebay and might find one that matches. Black seems to be in abundance.

I bought a whole armrest unit for $100, but turned out to be the wrong color.

You can also try a recycler - copartfinder, etc.

genuinevwaudiparts seems to show an armrest door in all colors for around $90 and have toyed with ordering from them, but am not sure how the removal/installation of the door will work.

I ended up using neodynium magnets mounted in the armrest and the lid to keep it closed.

 

I am in the same boat, and the magnets are the way to go. I went to my local hardware store and bout a magnet/plate set that is designed to latch a cabinet shut. Paid 99 cents for it, and another dollar for some super glue. Much better than the 160 bucks the dealership said it would cost to replace the lid.

 

same here but i thought audi quoted me like 200 for the whole thing ...if so id just let them do it cuz ebay or whatver your gonna pay 100-150 + shipping plus can u install it yourself
