We didn't include it because we don't sell it and you didn't order it.  The
'80-85 sliding door handle grommet has been discontinued by VW, so you'll
either have to fabricate something or find a used one.  It is a different
part number from the '85-91 version, which is still available (so far).  I
haven't tried the later version on an earlier Vanagon so I don't know if it
can be made to work (anyone?), but my offhand recollection is that while the
handles are somewhat similar the grommets are quite different.
