Beware. If they're the ones I think they are, they don't work. I've got gobs of 'em in my parts bin sharply defining insanity. I've ordered that same part over and over again from different vendors hoping it would be what I wanted. Each time it wasn't. You're welcome to a couple to see if you can figure out how to make them work. Just PM me your address and I'll drop a couple in the mail to you.
My insanity aside and generally speaking, I'm not a fan of West Coast Metric. I've heard they USED to be THE place for rubber parts, but my experience has proven otherwise.

Thank you for the offer, but I trust your experience. Have you found something that works better?
I'm really surprised Wolfsburg West doesn't offer that, even more surprised since they sell the mirrors.

I'll probably go with that option.

My Wolfsburg West order just arrived. Those guys are quick, only placed my order on Friday.
Got the new mirrors, and they look fantastic.
