pic needed of assist strap location

[Russ]

Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone has or can take a pic of where the assist strap attaches, with no headliner in.
I know the general area but with the headliner in place and trying to feel where I need to poke through scares me a bit.

if I can see a pic I will have a better idea of where I'm feeling
thanks Russ

My headliner's in place but I can give you a few measurements that might help.

The two screws that fasten the assist strap are located side by side, .85" apart. Measuring down from the edge of the interior light, I get 1.70". Measuring back from the seam between the headliner material and the plastic edging to the nearest screw, I get 1.10".

I like the hook, can't wait to see it with the strap. I may do this if I can find the hooks looks awesome !

Once you have the general location, using a sewing needle to poke around looking for the mounting hole is pretty easy on the fabric.

Don't know how they came up with that part number. VW had it as an "N" series Standard Parts item, N 11 826 1 and N 14 256 1.
