I can't honestly remember if the little storage holder was ever soft close. I don' t think my clip is broken... It's a mystery where it came from.
In my car, I know it broke from somewhere around the OBD port. It happened when I was trying to wiggle the OBD plug connecting the JB4 to the car out. I also remember the OBD port in the car suddenly become a bit "loose". I can move the port a little bit. At first, I thought I broke the port when this piece fell off. Luckily that was not the case. The port is still attached as it should be, just that it now wiggles a bit, which helps since I can get my fingers between the port and some other part near it, helping me get a better grip on the OBD plug of the JB4 to wiggle it out. With this piece in place, I couldn't so it this easily and the OBD port didn't move at all.

Exactly! Sometimes, it doesn't latch and the door falls open if I don't properly push it back in and make sure it's shut. It was so much better in my A4.
