Default 5000 water deflector

Does anyone know if someone other than Audi makes and sells the
plastic cover that is at the base of the windshield that covers the
fan blower, wiper linkage etc. It's very thin vacuum formed plastic
and i can't see paying $90 from the dealer if i can get it cheaper
someplace else.

Thanks

Of course nobody else makes that. What would be the profit for them?
It deformes and sometimes a lot but you can deform it too with the use of a
heatgun.
Don't forget to put some chewing gum (like stuff) between the windshield and
the thing.

No, why would someone else bother to make it? It's not like they are
going to sell 50000 of them to get the tooling cost back. Consider a
junk yard?

Get the part from a '90 or '91 100 / 200. The material was much thicker
and durable. Boneyard should not get more than $10 - $20 for this part.
