I had my back pad recovered so I replaced my broken original interior light. At least, I thought I replaced it. Could not find NOS so I got the VW Empi light. Not even close to being original! I had to "jury-rig" the light to make it stay in the pad. I will not be using it because I am afraid to touch it because it may come out of the pad! I don't drive at night anyway! Looks good from a distance! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I had the same problem with a new Hella black switch unit.
The problem is our thick backpad. On the non spring side I cut a deeper slot with a sideways bastard file. That way you've caught the fiberboard and the padding. You have to get behind the fiberboard to get it to stay. My .02c. for this AM. Works like a champ ........... |
