Try Vw as they are also fitted to other models. Or do as I did when i fitted a new headlining - wrap the ends of the bars in lots n lots n lots n then a bit more of black insulation tape - worked perfect!

peet thanks for the advice. couple of questions.

i'm sure this will sound really Dumb, but what do you mean by contact vw?
contact VW who/ what department?

you are the second person that has suggested to me - using tape on the end of the bars. How will this gaurantee that the curve of the bar will stay facing towards the roof. (the original plugs are angled set the curve facing up.) Also is'nt their a chance that the bars could slip about from side to side.

thanks again :ok
