Hi DeWitt,

I managed to get a pair of visor clips at Force5 yesterday under the 
baking sun - an ecru one from a 90 and a grey one from an A6, so that is 
all happy now.  Thanks to Chris Semple!

Both those cars had "screwed in" trunk lid liners, though.  A much less
important issue.

I'm hoping someone else with an old type 89 sedan will share half their 
trunk lid clip sockets with me...
