My heater box is split apart, but so is the picture of the one here: http://www.auto-parts.spb.ru/cat/au/pics/vw1_004010004.gif It's marked 7a on that picture. There are four of these, if you are sure you only left one out, you have three-fourths of the "retaining" capacity. My guess is that that's enough. They go up against the flap bar marked 29 in the picture; there is a pair of them that slide into plastic slots on either side of each flap. If I found I had left one out, I would just save it somewhere, taped to a letter to myself explaining where it goes. Then, when I die, my kids might get a little chuckle or some perspective when they find it as they're going through my stuff, and thinking "I wonder if he thought he was ever really going to open that heater box again?". But I'm not really an authority on these tabs :). mike
