I have an old Audi A3 (2003) and my dash vents look like this. My budget is $20 and most of the available options have thick vent clips, like this and this. The problem is, the dash vents in my car are very dense and it's not possible to insert the those vent clips. Any ideas how to get a magsafe car mount with much thinner car vent clippers?

I bought a mount like this and used double sided tape to mount a MagSafe charger to it

this style works for my car with similar vents and is gentler than the thick grips you posted
