The best way I can explain it is; there are 2 nubs on the dash (unless you're
dealing with an early car, then you're most likely dealing with a
conversion). They're sunken in from the front side. The cut outs in the brass around the
switch do the locking into the body. The screw in nut does the "clamping" for
the switch.

Do you have a medium sized screw driver?
This will lock into the slots, if the screw driver is wide enough.
If not, look for a VW shop that has the tools.

It sounds like you're working Bentley, but you might need to stop and digest
once in a while.
