Looking for the little finishing washers for the screws that hold down rubber door wedges on a Bug convertible. They are sold by Wolfsburg West for $1.41 each. Would like to find a supplier to buy a larger quantity at a lower price. I’ve searched the internet and only found a place in Germany.

'They' sell washers to put counter sunk screw heads, maybe these. Doesn't say how many are in a box

That is the style, but for a #8 screw. Smallest is #6. Size needed is for #4 screw. There are a number of places selling these but no smaller than #6

Thanks for the links. None of those are like the oem VW style used.
