Where did you buy if from? Generally to get a perfect fitting one you'll need a genuine VW one although the ones from Eurowagens fit pretty well!

Does it have a VW part number stamped on it?

Should have VW stamped on the back :afro:
Might sound retarded but have you slotted them together?

also once u pressed them in place push them in even harder till they click haha see so many with a gap in the middle because people think there in properly but just dont press till they are properly in.
