How was Madara able to absorb Amaterasu with no eyes?

Sasuke used Amaterasu to ignite Madara but Madara wasn't effected aside from his armor needing to be discarded, making it look as if he just shredded his armor to avoid the technique but then Naruto says "watch out this guy can absorb ninjutsu!" But wait he has no rinnegan? Wasn't the only reason he could absorb chakra earlier due to Preta path?

He could use Susano'o without eyes, so he can probably use rinnegan techs without the rinnegan (since he once had it).

He didn't. He took his armour of, and since the armour was the only thing burning that meant he avoidied damage. He didn't actually absorb the Amaterasu, Hashirama/Naruto just didn't realise he had lost the chakra absorbtion powers at the time.

He even stated himself that such techniques would not work on him though. Plus I'm pretty sure the fire made contact with his hair. Also if that was the case where he was vulnerable despite his armor then couldn't Sasuke just use Amaterasu again and again until Madara had no more clothing the work with? Or just snipe his face with it? Unless Madara was purposefully misleading them to believe he had powers that he didn't so they wouldn't exploit his weakness. But I think Naruto even knew he had no eyes at this point though...

Plothole, or Just Madara fooled them to think it wouldn't work on him.

Well, if he wasn't afraid of it, he wouldn't straight away came for Hashirama's SM. He was vunerable to any damage and black rods pierced in hashirama was his only way to know where is standing and how location may look. I guess he used Hashirama's eyes to see just like Nagato did to Pein's bodies.

Plothole prolly

I don't think Kishimoto would make a mistake like that so early after reviving Madara with no eyes, he's not as forgetful as other mangakas he wrote the entire databooks himself.

I think at that point he had Hashi Sage Mode. So if he did get burned he'd probably just heal from the burns. But hell once Edo Madara freed himself from Edo Tensei. All the rules for any jutsu went out the door.

When Madara had armor he was edo, his edo was revived with the abilities he died with which was the sharingan/rinnegan techniques. Amaterasu probably had no effect on a edo of his caliber anyways so there would be no need to absorb it.

Alive Madara had no eyes after gaining SM from Hashirama & used Hengoku on Sasuke. (He had no armor when he came back to life) I don't think you need your eyes to use your techniques if the brain of the Uchiha has already unlock/tapped into that potential already.
Madara showed it many times, i don't think it's plot hole.

Godtachi was blind during the ending of his fight with Sasuke but still manifested Susano'o. No plot hole.

He explains it right afterwards
It's because he's both senju and Uchida but he has ashura and indras chakra which means he has hagoromos

Amaterasu was not absorbed. Both Manga and Anime proved this. Madara simply took off his armor.

He already had the Sage's chakra so he didn't need his eyes to use his 6 Paths jutsu. It's the same way Itachi used Susano'o despite being blind.
