I don't know what kind of line of B.S. some people are getting from their VW
dealers, but I just called up my local VW dealer and had them order 4 of them
(2 for each window) and they came the next day. total cost, under 4 bucks. (
actually, that was even too much for 4 itty bitty pieces of plastic IMO,
but.....)


took an exacto knife and took a little bit off each tab ( and my
finger.....there was blood everywhere....  :*<(  boo-hoo... and tapped them
into place w/ a little block o'  wood and now my '84's windows lock again...
 :<) 


On the '88's (?) up you don't need to cut any off the tab, I'm told. 


gotta big Band Aid on my finger....
