Where can I buy one of these? (Small clip,part of sun visor)
Discussion
Here's an odd one.
I want to buy one of these.
It's a spring steel clip that is part of a sunvisor from a 987 Cayman (also probably from lots of other Porsches of the time - and possibly other things in the VW/Audio/Seat/Skoda world) but it's too small to have a Porsche part number; the Porsche part is the whole sunvisor and I've had to dismantle it to get to this stage.
The clip is broken (as you can see) and hence the sunvisor flaps around and won't hold in position. New sunvisor from Porsche is going to be a LONG way into 3 figures (it has a mirror and lights and switches and so on) but if I can replace this clip then I will not have to replace the whole thing.
Where might I be able to buy this sort of thing from?
The only place I can think of starting is Johnson Controls, as it appears these are the people who made the sunvisor, but for them it will be a tiny part bought in bulk from a supplier and they probably won't want to know. (Admittedly I haven't tried, but the fact that the address on the sunvisor is France makes it a little harder.)
All suggestions welcome, thanks.

Have you tried Google for Porsche Breakers, 3 come up straight away
TPS trade do VAG parts, don't know if they'll deal with the general public though.
Porsche breakers will sell me a whole new sunvisor, but I only want a small clip from one. (As it is I've bought a replacement part; I'm now trying to see if I can repair my old one.)TPS trade do VAG parts, don't know if they'll deal with the general public though.
