One of these was loose, like you said, and ready to fall out. > As for putting them in, I've just "wiggled" them into place before the > fuse box goes in.

The S cross section has one squared off end; is that the top or the bottom? There is a bit of a taper to the S from one side to the other; does the small side face the door pillar? My main problem is that I haven't been able to figure out exactly how/where these were supposed to fit. Russ, do you remember these? Is there any chance that they were part of a recall of some kind and only installed in cars with certain problems, such as windshield water leaks? - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
