The rubber part snaps over a mushroom-shaped metal knob which used to be welded in the center of the cupped area that you have. It is fairly common for these to be rusted away. I've never seen a cute way of replacing these, although I toyed with various ideas. I don't think that mushroom was ever available as a separate part from VW. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web!
