Try http://www.thepartsconnection.com or http://www.audiquattroparts.com
These are not BA sources, but have really good prices.

I don't recommend junk yards for thess sorts of items.  Also, if you
buy parts from the Carlsen Audi parts department and mention you're
with the "Internet quattro list" you'll get a discount.

Ditto with these, but you may also find good new window regulators at
Wolfsport in Berkeley.

The really big dismantlers are in Sacramento area, but you might check
your yellow pages under "Automobile Parts - Recyclers & Dismantlers"
for local ones.  San Jose has a couple that have some Audis -- A-German
and European Specialties.
