Small plastic plupp that the rear hatch interior trims are seated into. Where to find

[NEO]

I am looking for some small plastic "plupps" that rear hatch interior trims are seated into. I do not know what you call these small things on english so I will refer to them as "plupps" in this thread. The clips on the inside of the trims attaches to these small plastic "plupps". The "plupps" are seated in drilled holes on the hatch. The dilled holes can be seen on my ABT-hatch here:

THe black "plupps" on my original hatch have RAY written on them. But I can not find anyhing usefull on the net about this. But the ones on the ABT-hatch was blue and did not look as genuine as the audi ones. So I bet there are some universal-"plupps" somewhere.

Does anyone recognize the "plupps" on the pictures below? And maybe know where I can buy then? Audi does not deliver them anymore.

More pictures of the black original ones can be found here:

Yes, I recognise them. You call them "plupps" I call them "adjustable stop buffers".
Did you quote the part numbers :895 827 499 and 895 827 500 to your dealer?

I got a bunch from my local Audi dealer in April, but I'm in the States. Try there, if no luck, I may have some extras and could mail them to you. I'll check my supply.

Heya. But, they ain't adjustable? Don't have etka on this computer, it's on my stationary computer... So can't really look if that's the buffers we looked at. But I showed the service guy the buffers in ETKA. So we did look at the correct ones at the service shop and they are no more deliverable.

Though I noticed when I hung my trims on the C-pillars back that those clips might work instead. Will see if they still are deliverable. Or the buffers that sit up on the roof at the back where that small trim is.

Yes, I recognise them. You call them "plupps" I call them "adjustable stop buffers".

[QUOTE=NEO;245839]Heya. But, they ain't adjustable? QUOTE]

They are you know, here's the adjustment procedure quoted fromm the 20v.org site:

1. Loosen threaded pin (2) with a 4mm Allen key (hex key).
2. Pull detent slide (1) out by approximately 3mm.
3. Carefully close the tailgate (without slamming it), until the lock engages audibly.
4. Open the tailgate and pull detent slide (1) out by two notches.
5. Tighten threaded pin (2) to 1.7 Nm.

Compare my pictures to the one you posted there. Is there any similarity what so ever? That adjuster is like 4cm x 2cm x 2cm. And there are only two of those on the car. The pictures I linked to illustrates a handfull of small plastic "plupps" that are approx 1cm in diameter and 1cm tall. The ony thing the two parts have in common is that they are both seated in the back of the car.

Though I found the company that manufactures the "plupps". And they say,

Dear Mr Cednert,

The parts shown of your pictures are manufactured in our subsidiary in
Germany.
We think you may find these parts in an Audi garage.
If you are interested, we may send you some samples (+/- 10).

HAve not replied to her yet. Seems like she didn't understood me when I said that audi have discontinued the product.

Ah okay the part you were looking for is for mounting the interior trim to the tailgate right? I thought it wa likely to be the pullout adjuster for the stop buffers.

Glad you found what you are looking for .

Yes sir! I must have confused you with the picture of the ABT-hatch. I noticed now that the adjuster seating was more in focus then the holes I talked about.
