Dan,


You need the 12 pointer on those bolts (when they are so equipped - I've
found allen bolts used ther by one PO). Don't take a chance on using an Allen
wrench. They may seem to fit but are not intended to take the torque like the
12 pointers. All it takes is one stubborn bolt and an ill fitting Allen to
ruin your day. My local VW dealer sells these things for $12.95. Got the same
brand form my FLAPS for $6.95.
