I had to put mine back on when I found that only one
screw was holding it.  But IIWY (can I use that??? "if I
were you") I'd just use some plastic top to a butter
container and fashion a scoop out of it and then screw it
in with some metal strips along the outside to hold it in
place (maybe use some "seam-sealer" to keep the water
out of the seams).  No need here for  "real" VW part.   It
would be much cheaper and a DIY project. M2CW.
