Just cut the tubing to length, slip it over the opposing round rod and
center it.
Crimp the tube slightly with a pair of pliers.
I've never noticed mine moving around.
I squeezed mine together a little before I slipped it on.
I agree those VW symbols are cool looking, I'd consider them myself if I
hadn't found my solution years ago.
