Mine fell off a week ago, but I noticed it as it happened (I was locking
it before closing the door) and I picked it up from the curb.  It's
basically a threaded bolt with a black plastic cap on it.  So if you
experiment with the thread sizes, you can simply use a bolt.  Now Rennie
Wible already posted that it's only 10.50 from VW, so it's worth getting
but at least you can use a bolt in the meantime if it has to come from a
long distance.

And for the rest of us, we ought to check it to make sure it's
tightened.
