These clips are softer and can be inserted & removed numerous times without damage. I seem to recall that they were cheaper too. The original plastic covering was a bit tattered and didn't cover the edges of the panel. I covered the panel with new black naugahyde which covered the unattractive tops of the plastic clips too. I used 3M spray adhesive to attach the vinyl to the panel and wraped it about 1/2" around the back side. If VW doesn't sell these at a reasonable price, very similar generic ones can be purchased at many FLAPS. Regards, Jim Davis |
