vw will sell you a pin with a length of wire crimped on, or you can buy new pins and crimp them on yourself.  the actual pins are very common thruout the vag range. tricky bit is getting em out, couple thin watchmaker screwdrivers to release the pin plus jiggling and patience.
another tip is tyo get them metal strips out of a wiper blade and grind down till they fit, or i bought a terminal tool off ebay for cheap and modded the ends to work better:
