glove box trim clip rubber boots ?

[Richard Roth]

Does anyone make or have the three small boots used with the clips to mount the chrome trim on the glove box ?
They look just like the boots used to mount the body side trim, only smaller.

I dont remember ever using rubber boots for the dash trim..The clips just go through the holes.

There were originally rubber boots in the holes.

The most likely place to have them is Wolfsburg West, and they dont. So, not sure where you will find them. You don't need them.

Originally the dash trim had grommets.
Sometimes the trim will rattle without them.

I was looking for some for a radio delete plate. These are the only ones I found, just haven't got around to purchasing them.

Solved the problem back in the day, in 2 ways: prevent drafts by making sure the hood seal is properly fitted; and adjust the wings on the trim clips to make them grip tighter. (You may have to damage them, and the trim, to get them off again, but ...no rattles.)

You can also use another old school method of dealing with squeaks, rattles, and drafts: Dum Dum putty.
