Whatever goes up (unpowered, in a gravity-well, 
anyway) must come down. Of course those T3 
adjusters go both up & down.

Wish I had a set too, but they seem to go for... 
too much. APPARENTLY early Golf & Scirocco units 
may be the same or close enough to adapt. I have 
a set of Scirocco actuators, but none of the 
bracketry or locating items, and my headlight 
buckets are not made to fit them. So I've been 
trying (without success) to find buckets to fit. 
Someone did offer me a set of Golf II buckets, 
which apparently has the locations for electric 
adjusters, but this car didn't have adjusters 
fitted, so I'm not sure the buckets would be of 
any use... even if they fit the van.
