Avant boot strap
Avant boot strap
The boot strap on my Avant snapped the other day - the rubber end (see photo) broke.
Does anyone know if you can order a replacement?Daytona RS4 Avant - black optics/decat downpipes/H-pipe/KW springs - featured on the 2012 Audi stand at the Goodwood FoS
Re: Avant boot strap
Mine broke as well a while back.
Dont think you can get just the strap iirc.
Where abouts has it snapped? Just where the strap meets the clip?
Ive been using luggage straps in the eyelets on the boot floor since.

The rubber clip snapped off from the elastic (red box on photo) - looks like the rubber perished. It is twelve years old, after all.

I cut an old plastic card up, put a strip down each side of the strap connector and used jb weld to hold it all together.
Left it 24hrs in a couple of small clamps then wrapped with matt black vinyl. Stronger than its ever been!
Dont think it'll be cheap from audi!

Thanks Mike!
Sadly my Mac blocks that site. Could you post the image, so I can see 40 & 42?
I can then call TPS.

Re: Avant boot strap
My strap had aged badly so I decided to look at this. The fittings at each end simply unclip with a screwdriver and I replaced the elastic with a piece of 30mm elastic bought from eBay. I chose grey but in reality it is black so I would choose black in the future.
It was 5 minutes work to swap over - removing the boot panel is more involved so the job is best saved until the panel is off but it was simply repaired with 3.99 of elastic.
