Ping, weeeee, oh no! - Sunglasses holder spring/clip
So I popped open the sunglasses holder in my coupe yesterday, and the spring/clip assembly pinged past my ear. I found the spring, but not the clip and now the sunglasses holder door is permanently open. It's probably under the seat somewhere, but I had a good look and can't find the darn thing.
Anyone had this happen and know the replacement part number? Are there any other uses for that space? -The holder is not that good for sunglasses anyway. (btw - Merry Christmas everyone!)

Thanks for the replies all. Glad the thread title gave you a smile - I can get a little onomatopoeic with my word choices when on the eggnog...

Doesn't seem right, eh? I guess they figure if you're in a Roadie with the top down, your sunglasses will be on your face?

It's an absolute pain in the ass to install correctly. It clips into a metal surround that is above the headliner. I had to remove both sun visors and A-pillar trim to drop headliner so I could get my hand up there to make it clip in correctly. Good luck.

The price of this part has skyrocketed to over $400 - crazy, right?!? Does anyone have a DIY as to how to replace the spring? or where to find said spring?

Talk about inflation!!! Must be very few of them left due the poor design. RealOEM lists it at 55 bucks which must be the original price back in the day.
