Good luck,  I tried for a couple of years to find them with no joy.

It may be worth checking if polo or beetle/T25 ones will fit

Really hard to find these days pal. The 'cream & brown' period around 2008 used a lot of the stock so very few left now.

I missed original winder and set of 4 from mk2 couple months ago on ebay. I couldn't decide……so now i know…..should take both.

2 hints.
Try to find a Chrome set off a 80 rabbit/golf LS.  I had chrome on my 81. Color don't matter on the insert as you can pop it out and Spray it the color of your choice with Vinyl Dye in a can.

Get a set of black replacements Tape the Knob off, and Spray the Arms the color of your choice with "krylon fusion paint".  when  dry add 2 coats of krylon fusion satin clear… should be good to go for a few years.

I had a similar issue with a 85 Cabriolet I was repairing.
one of the map pockets was butsicated beyond repair.

So I took both off, I had a good replacement but black, and sprayed them with Krylon Fusion paint and over coated with satin and they came out a pretty close match…. Doing both sides so you wouldn't miss the color differences.


What do Divorces, Great Coffee, and Car Electrics all have in common?

They all start with GOOD Grounds.

The 2 coats of addition Sating clear will add durability to the paint so it stays on longer….. and won't rub away.
